@@CoreyandCrew Unfortunately, it was neither. Believe it or not, he actually did it as tribute to the movie. Archangel Gabriel was said to have visited him in a dream and spoke of the movie that would be to come.
You must not be a rider. Most riders who ride over 20,000 miles a year aren't riding in the snow. I guarantee this guy is not riding nowhere close to that many miles a year. He lives in Alaska and he rigged his bike to ride, good for him, but it would be impressive if he was using only two wheels with spikes, not a handicap, and I am a rider with over 40 years of riding in storms and everything.
That dude is as legit as they come. I’ve driven in snowing conditions before but never with accumulation on the ground. I’ve also never heard of or seen a third wheel before. He earned that patch.
Remember folks Alaska has Big bears as well, he rides yr around, I am guessing this is like snow tires for a few weeks, months. Can ya imagine dodging moose??????
@@weirdo1083 Support outrigger, non driven to prevent slide on ice - snow. Big lugs on rear tire it's maybe an automobile snow rated or studded tire. I do run a car tire on rear of my Suzuki V-Strom 650, regular street tread Z rated. This dude obviously knows how to stay upright. Note how his bike leans 2-3 deg to the right towards his 3rd wheel. I've never seen 3rd wheel before but I have seen "passive trike training wheels". They'd look goofy on a single rider IMHO, unless you've got mama bear on the back lol.
I can relate. For years I only had a motorcycle, I rode in any weather, any time of the year, it wasn't because I couldn't afford a car it was because for some reason I just didn't feel comfortable driving a car. It wasn't until I was 26, after going on a rode trip across multiple states, getting attacked by bees, stuck in multiple severe thunderstorms, getting badly sun burned, & having the starter completely break on the bike, making me have to push start it every time I stopped anywhere during the trip... I finally decided I wanted a car & bought one about a month later. But sometimes now I almost miss only having a motorcycle, it was fun in a way. Plus it is a lot cheaper, so much of your money goes into owning a car, maintenance, gas, insurance is so much more for a car vs a motorcycle, it used to be very easy to save up money while only owning a motorcycle. But sitting in a heated car in the winter when it's something like -5F is so much nicer than not being able to feel my fingers on a motorcycle, used to have to use a hair dryer to even get the bike started when it was that cold out >.>
Never experienced that low of a temperature but I did the same. Lol.. rain or shine that was my only way around for about 4 years straight. I do miss it sometimes. I miss the spontaneous rides to nowhere.
There was a guy in my home town in Eastern Montana who put chains on the tires of his old HD knucklehead so he could ride to work in the winter. Never knew of a more dedicated rider. This dude gets a close second place!
That’s the definition of an OG. There’s a reason why he ended up in Alaska and he’s still making it work. Got some Jesse Pinkman vibes. Or a passionate motorcycle rider that rides no matter the conditions. As many Alaskans do. Either way…he IS THE OG
@@bukweetWe call them Combination Sidecars in the UK. Some L plate riders used to use a sidewinder to get around being limited to a smaller capacity machine before passing their test.
I was told by a fellow rider that that the worst mistake you can make when riding a combination sidecar set up is, when you get on a bike without the 3rd wheel setup and forgetting it’s not there when you pull up at a junction and you don’t put your feet down. 🤕
@mikemorgan5815 had my boot lace wrap around my kickstand, couldn't put my foot down when I stopped, both my wife and I fell over, not a great experience, but funny looking back on it. Glad we had helmets on.
Having ridden in heavy snow sometimes I wish I’d been riding combination sidecar set up, with or without the chair/box. Great way to carry beer by the way!
Wow, I can see that, it stabilizes the bike just like a sidecar but with that slight bend improving handling! But the amount of snow on the ground still amazes me! Dude has a pair!
That's a true dyed in the wool rider. I usually put mine away in the fall because my fingers start to numb up, can't even imagine how cold this dude is
They have bike races with the tires studded up with screws. You will see trikes occasionally. Too many people up here in cars and trucks can't drive them in ice and snow, guess who wins in a collision.
I only rode my bike once, as cautiously as I possibly could, in the smallest amount of snow and ended up coming off. Never rushed trying again. Respect to this guy as you wouldn't catch me doing this.
Never seen a 3rd wheel before but….. it makes perfect sense! I’ve seen sidecar rigs, even driven one, same basic design. I wonder if he machine screwed his rubber? Neighbor used to run ice racers, they had spikes but he showed me homemade ice tires with machine screws in the thicker treads.
Snow riding..,..hell yeah good stuff...we have been offroading in snow like this. 10mm sheet metal screws into each knob..let's the shredding begin !! Now that's living...enjoy the snow brother..!!!
I know a guy in Fairbanks (thats 360 miles north of Anchorage) that rides without a 3rd wheel in the winter. Its a January 1st tradition for him, so he can say he was the first one to ride that year. He use to just wrap a nylon rope around both tires and drive the 30 mile into Fairbanks. He now has switched to studded tires which he claims is not as good as the rope 😆
He also has respect. Trying to dog the guy for getting it done when you know 99% of bikers are seasonal in most of the lower 48, let alone in Alaska with snow on the roads!
I've only seen this once before, it was in Tahoe during a winter storm and he was freezing. I had one of those zippo personal heaters and a couple heat packs, so when we stopped I walked up to him and after him being caught off guard he realized I was trying to save his life, and graciously accepted them and asked if I would follow him to where he was staying in case. Was an awesome old dude with the biggest ice beard I've ever seen after that ride😂😂
That’s called an unprepared Bay Area goofball that didn’t understand what he was getting into going up to Tahoe, this guy is a much much different breed, that’s a funny story though 😅
passed two from Cleveland on the I-271 bypass in january, 6-8 inches on the roads, traffic crawling....had been told early on its a MC ! you will ride to "church" EVERY week
That is living the life. I’m a conditioned rider. Conditions have to be perfect. 70 degrees, no rain, no humidity, no head winds, no gravel or dirt roads and a coffee shop every 3 miles.
Being from west Virginia we ride in heavy snow all the time up in the mountains we just add winter knobby tires with bike chains front and back from military but never used no third wheel. Still cool though
I use to ride all year long. I also use to road race. One year I flew out to California and rented the then new Honda Goldwing 1800. My wife’s sisters picked us up at the airport and instead of taking off, we left late. We get up to Kings Canyon National Park, 7k feet up, it’s 25 degrees and there is snow and ice all over the road. I went for it, saw three cars in the four hours up there. ( rode three thousand miles in four days ) What I didn’t see was the shear drop offs in the pitch black that I certainly noticed a few years later during another trip. I may have thought twice, but when you ride in conditions like that you certainly have to have a commitment to your riding and certainly have some idea of what you are doing. Having doubts is never a good idea when doing anything remotely risky.
he must be nuts to drive in the cold on top of a motorcycle in the full breeze , pretty smart to use the thirth wheel as even if he slides around he still can keep the bike upright on the slippery roads
This is an adaptation of winter riding from a long time ago in Europe and Scandinavian countries. They used runners on both sides. If you like year round riding this is a good way to do it. I would pick the runners over this method mainly because of having both sides in play. Look up Swedish home guard winter riding on motorcycles.
inexpensive mod to make it a lot safer than 2 wheels in snow or ice if you gotta ride. i can see counter steering it with the tail hanging out having a blast
My sister bought me my first motorcycle jacket on clearance one Xmas, and I wanted to return it to the store and get one size larger in conditions like this on my motorcycle. No third wheel. Motorcycle store gave me a very hard time about exchanging it. I'll never buy anything from a motorcycle store now, and never have... that was like 15 years ago. The first motorcycle jacket technically fit fine, but I wanted lots of extra room underneath for a pullover and a couple of other layers...
If you're riding in this type of weather, you really gotta love riding.
Only wheels he` s got lol
i dont want that to be the one they send to collect thats all im saying.

Looks like potential facial frostbite is where they draw an exception.
Keep your face warm, and the sheild free of condensation with a breath box. Cold riders are smart riders.
Never seen a third wheel before. I wonder how much stability it would provide on a left turn though?
That’s what I call a BIKER . riding all weathers .Respect.
