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.

Great story telling
Thanks for sharing Idaho man.
Ive recently started riding, I have a measely Honda super cub 2020 and I made it work through the east Iowa winter

Scooter is 2 cool!! What an awesome dog!
You would have been an ideal soldier In any branch Adam
Thank you for that very kind statement Earl.
License branch?

Thanks for tuning in 👊🏼
Best thing to do is cross the country in the south during winter 🙂
Riding in snow/ice...no way...not worth it! Love what you are doing, but no way.
Stay safe this winter brother. We need you.
I don't plan on riding any snow this year... but ya never know 🤷
This is really one of my favorite videos by Adam, Snow! Snow, baby.freezing is not fun.
I'm from Girard, Ohio. During the winter months it's hard driving in the snow with a car let alone on a motorcycle .
I'm from Indiana. When it rains here it's wet outside
Youngstown here. You ain't joking.
I know this comment is two years old, but I'm also from girard Ohio and am shocked seeing someone else from here in this comment section
Been loving your videos adam. Just recently subscribed but binge watching your videos. Truley something i really dream of doing.
"Once more upon the breach, dear friend, Once more...stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood..." God speed, Adam.
Amen Bro, The Lord is with You!!
;)
Adam you are a beast..!!! Very admirable what yet doing
Low pressure and trail tires if you plan on doing that on a regular basis.
Luggy dual sport tires would help too
The part where u walk on the buss and scooters runs to ya is classic.
“ the Lord was with me” love it man!
Get those snow tires on and keep on going!
amen!
Spiked tires would be better , guy up here in canada rode in town with them .
Better no drive in snow and ice.It is no fun,only DANGER.
Better take a motel and rest.
Everbody Stand up Danmit Salute love ❤ and respect 🙌 Adam. ☃️☃️☃️☃️💯🙏🏽
What gear is that you are wearing, looks comfortable for snow ❄ riding
Dedication man thats dedication big thumbs up

My father us to ride year around in N Massachusetts. It can be done.
Next level stuff. Amazing.
That dog loves you brother

It was rough at times but nothing compared to what the brave men and women of our armed forces endure on a daily basis.
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 love to ride when it first starts to snow.
I ride my 883 with Firestone ANS front and rear for 2 years, this year I built an outrigger. I love it!
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.
It’s the worst
This is my first time seeing this old video Adam. You're crazy boy! God bless Scooter!
Mann you are the man very big hart American hero and his little dog scoot amen I pray for you both
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.
Ride on brother
why i moved from canada to new jersey and after im done in the 173D airborne to Texas. riding weather all year
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.
By North Texas, in talking Vernon- Wichita Falls area.
ill be in Dallas so i wont be in the pan handle. should be good according to my pal all but a hand full of days
Please don’t snow ride again. We need you safe and sound, from your fans❤️
Not worth it. You have no traction, it's basically suicidal.
Your awesome Adam
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 😂👍
This reminds me of long haul paul. Adam you and paul need to cross paths one day. Definitely a rare breed
Very ballsy! Ill leave the snow riding up to you.
Harley needs to give u a triglide for winter
Best of luck and may God watch over your ride
Now that's bad to the bone !!!
Russell Wilson thanks
checked Harley catalog, no studded snow tires or chains for Harleys😞😞😞

I was on a mission and I felt compelled to complete that mission, which included riding under less than ideal circumstances

Adam plan your schedule so your riding in the south during snow season.

5th year I meant at the end haha. To many damn years I gotta get my truck back lol
Keeps you awake though. The heated seats and air in the pickup run the risk of making you nod off!! Case in point, WINTER IS SHIT.
My new HERO!
It must suck trying to find jeans that fit. A LOT OF BALLS SIR! Safe ride always.
lol..
Ive been caught in snow like that and its not a good feeling, feet dragging is about all you can do!

The WHY lies completely in my commitment to complete my mission, which pales in comparison to what our country's soldiers frequently endure
Yes I agree with that 100%.
guess I'll forget this video, I stay in the PHILIPPINES FOR THE WINTER, SHORTS AND t'S FOR ME
Coming from Scotland I know your snow problems ,happy trails adam
What were you thinking? You help to many people to have you taken out by riding in the snow.
we helped a lot of people that day!
Put a set of skis on each side of the motorcycle when you get your tires
Now I know why seat is ripped on that one side. I believe I would have had to change some clothes after that slip and slide...lol Not joking!!
Depends on who your lord(master) is.....
A little crazy. A whole lot determined (snow/ ice)...rock on
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
No fear!
I guess I have not been subscribed. I see nothing from Adam about the bring it home. I was looking forward to his remarks.
Coming soon
Uh, this is what sidecars are for.
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

Damn your lucky but I totaly get it! Salud bradda!!!
Absolutely suicide riding a bike in snow my god dude ! Lol
it's definitely not something I absolutely love but you do what you gotta do 🤷♂️ thanks for tuning in
😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
It's a wild ride man
Sure,it can be done. But why would you ?
Crazy SOB, I've driven in the snow , b4 you , know motorcycles are not ski doos ?
First! And thanks for the support!
Do you wear any leather chaps with your Levi’s jeans n biker jacket?
Samantha Barton he does. He actually has a video about the gear he wears
have you bin to Newcastle Harley
Laying down a bike like that would be a sin
Damn!!!!! Respect. I'm even scared to ride in the rain. I crashed 2 bikes in 6 months time. Not one was my fault.
Mad as.Could take a leaf out of ice speedway riders with the tyres they run.
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!!!
