This looks like something from a James Bond movie.

Motorcycle Skis
Motorcyclists now have a new sport— “ski cycling” over ice and snow. A broad, short ski fastens to each side of the motorcycle frame. It is held at the correct level by springs which absorb the shock as the ski runs over the snow surface. As the wheels are slightly lower than the skis, they still provide traction.
