Adam rides through a snow storm. Crazy or determined, you decide. ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Who is Adam Sandoval? watch: "Americas Greatest road trip" • Americas Greatest road... ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
I live in an old historical goldrush boomtown in the mountains of Idaho where the snow averages 5 to 6 feet in depth each winter. There was an old prospector, Willie Puckett who has passed on, but he rode his old BMW with a sidecar around all winter. Not only that, but he rode it up over a mountain pass located between town and his gold claim almost weekly. His sidecar had a drive wheel which helped greatly with traction. Sometimes it was so slick he had to make his old lady ride in the sidecar just for traction. What a pair to see rippin' down a grey misty road through the pine trees in a snowstorm LOL. Anyway, here's to ya Willie I miss ya you old fart. Get on down the trail... ;-)
@@no_special_person It seems to me that I remember hearing that Iowa is experiencing a fairly rough winter right now. Anyway, I had a Honda Dream Cycle and a Honda Cub back in the sixties. I'm jealous of your 2020 Super Cub...
Been down that path in the mid 80's. That is all I had to ride and made it happen. I feel your pain. I did it because I had too. Lovin your content brother.
Awesome idea with the spiked tires. Saw an awesome video of a URAL crossing in a snow storm. Finally a Harley Davidson doing on video. Throw new tire should work well. Or a tire that will throw the snow. Like a truck winter tire, softer rubber. And chucks slush also. Wonder if anyone ridden Canadian winters all year on a Harley Davidson yet.
Yea you just cant in some places maybe west coast BC lower main land but in the east , you just can't too much ice , I've drive in the day time when snow has fallen but roads were bare , but below freezing that thawed snow turns to ice and it's dark earlier , then there's what they call black ice , and you just can't with that
I remember riding through a blizzard in Philadelphia in the 90’s that’s no fun I only had an hour and a half ride using my feet like out riggers lol I can only imagine what you went through
Adam Sandoval without a doubt I’d like to get with you in 2020 looking at putting some fundraising together for our first responders and military men and women no one left out
I tried riding in the snow one time. I ended up walking my bike home, one mile. That was 39 years ago. I never did it again and I never will. Riding in the snow is a no-go for me.
Ummm, no. Just say no. Spikes are for snow racing on a track without dumb cagers losing control and making a pancake out of you! Even if you stay up. The biggest hazard on the road for bikers are the cars and they really get dumb when the snow flies.
craig wilkinson , I guarantee you it freezes hard and snows in North Texas in the winter. Freezes hard enough to kill a cotton plant. Icy roads are no match for a truck without 4-wheel drive, much less a motorcycle.
Adam , you just be careful brother and stay safe and warm so you can keep sharing your experience with riding community ! ✝️🙏😎 and be sure to give Scooter a treat for me 😂👍
I disagree with using this as a badge of honor. At some point, someone needs to respectfully tell this gentleman that this is nothing short of totally unacceptable. There's no honor in such pointless risks and the challenge isn't worth overcoming because all you achieve in the most ideal circumstances would be something to brag about. I don't know you and am humbly asking that you never do this again. I have no idea why others couldn't stop you, but if they couldn't, you'll need to stop yourself. Buy a trailer for this. I wish you the best of health and thanks for reading.
@@adamsandoval Unfortunately that just isn't compelling. The benefits don't justify the risks at all, and if you're willing to do such a thing to "complete [a] mission," then you're the perfect person to solve real, important problems, and treating this act like it's a valid "mission" of any kind is objectively poor judgment. Sorry. Again, I wish you the best, but the "mission" angle just is a nonstarter and frankly it just isn't justifiable regardless of the argument.
What sucks is my only transportation is my Harley ultra classic and it's going on my 5th year having to ride all year round luckly the last 2 years not much snow but the first 3 were pretty bad but I'm only 24 years old so I guess I don't care but I do not recommend snow and ice driving. Scary as hell coming g down step hills with cars in front of you and u feel the bike just sliding without traction hahah. Never been hit but came close many times from being hit by other vehicles going to fast. Lord be with you brother and watch over you. I know the Lord has been with me and this will be the 6th year I gotta get thru it!
Snow ❄️ movement is tough whether on foot, wheeled or tracked vehicle then the issue of tons of visibility issues I know you experience. Ride extra safe out there!
Wow I've heard you talk about when you rode in the snow and ice and watching this makes me question WHY ? I had to ride about a mile in it up in the Blue Ridge Mountains and as i slipped and slid around I knew I had to get to the nearest place and stop cause it is very dangerous. Glad you survived it. Spiked tires help with vehicles not sure how good it works with motorcycles and i don't want to know. haha Ride Safe Adam
On snow-If this motorcycle or any motorcycle has traction control, or ABS brakes, he would not be able to get it going, and if he did get it going, he wouldn’t be able to stop. Been there. ABS brakes on motorcycles is dangerous.ABS on motorcycles is a placebo for idiots
i'd say the weight of your giant balls is the only thing that helped you keep traction. Those were some tough roads dude glad you made it haha idk why i just found this in 2021
@@adamsandoval i am bro don't worry! I'm gonna try my best to come out to the campground this year as well just single dad lifin' it right now and its been rough this last year for sure I just ditched the rocket, and i'm on the hunt for a new Fat bob i'm fixin to lay down some miles as soon as I get the chance
Adam,, I was wondering how I would do a ride like your doing,, I think I would do the upper half of the country in the summer and the lower half in the winter months.... Just the DAWGS thoughts....
if you ride you know what you can do n not do...i rode dirt bikes in winter to be fast in rain mud in summer.. if you cant ride in bad weather.. you dont need to be on a bike in nice weather.. my opionion..
This comment is just stupidity!! That’s like saying , If you don’t have the skill to survive a plane crash or you need a parachute to jump out of plane you shouldn’t be in a plane.
Riding in the snow is no fun I got caught in the snowstorm once on my way home from my job on the police department I was Hardcore all leather up the roads are just wet made it home swore I'd never do that again I don't see how you can do it Balls of Steel Man it ain't worth your life I wouldn't do it unless I had to
That would definitely work David, But...as soon as you hit dry pavement, those ice studs would be worn to nothing in a very short time. A shredded tire is the way to go on ice and snow. Thanks Adam, for your effort and determination! Good Luck!!!
I thought I was insane, I only road in the first hour of snowy slush at almost 80 mph for about 30 mins with my lady on the back then saw asphalt but you beat me by long shot.
Adam Sandoval Rides welcome. Got a question. In my youth I road dirt bikes and such but had to give them up due to a family member getting killed on a bike. I am looking to get back into riding. My problem is I am 5'9" and about 350. I want a good bike that's easy to ride but I don't want to look like a circus bear riding a tiny bike. Any suggestions? I want to keep the price in the 15k region.
