STRANDED IN A SNOW STORM! The Harsh Reality of Living off Motorcycles (S2 EP30)

Date of adventure - September 2020
We’re not too sure how the residents of South Dakota view their winter snow storms, but a prediction of a slight dusting of snow for the area turned into almost a foot of snow. Not something you want to see when you’re traveling and living on a motorcycle.

[@2stage90]

Im younger but your wife is a trooper......Alot of these young gals couldnt hang. Stay safe guys. If you got room to pack get yourself a "lil buddy" to heat the tent if you need it..One of those cans goes 8 hours.

[@egalitarianvegan8806]

Some day when your sitting in your rocking chairs you will think back to this adventure, and laugh. Great video.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Glad you enjoyed it. yes we will

[@sherryperryman3495]

You have such a great wife! She smiles and laughs happily enjoying the moments. This queen bee would have said I’m done..

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes she is love ya Mom.

[@micha6887]

I second that!

[@counted73]

That's the spirit of a true rider!

[@cegann9706]

Where are you guys at the last video was middle of September. Come to SC for the winter.

[@randolphwilliams9266]

Thank yoh

[@livewire6925]

Best Accessories I have ever acquired Is heated pants and jacket. My wife agrees. We have had them for twenty years and they still work great. Gloves and socks and a Rheostat are also available. I have never been cold while riding, plugs in under the seat, and they work well with rain gear.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks for sharing

[@erroly100]

Now that's what you call a real adventure!, And that's what you call A REAL LADY. It takes great character to able to be able to giggle through the tough times. You guys had a real experience!! Lucky man, awesome Lady, Great adventure!!

[@6431harry]

It's funny , We stayed at Hidden Valley for the 74th Rally. The high for the week was 68 degrees. We knew it was suppose to be cold, but the added elevation made it even colder. We left a day early because the low was 35 degrees. Oh yes, the Dakotas.

[@41GarageandGrill]

Tent, snow, motorcycles! You both are incredibly adventurous. Good luck be safe.

[@charlieswearingen500]

I live in Idaho and a gold prospector friend of mine rode a two-wheel-drive Ural motorcycle with a sidecar all winter. He was quite a sight to see coming over the mountain to town with a fur hat, goggles, big gauntlet style fur mittens on, and all hunched up over his motorcycle to stay warm LOL...

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I’ve heard if those bikes. Much more stable with the side car in the snow

[@rickeymcintyre5191]

Life's an adventure. Sometimes it makes memory's you will never forget. I got caught in the rockies in Sept will never forget. Be safe on your travels.

[@gallegorider149]

WOW! Thank goodness they had cabins!!! That looked like fun and terrifying at the same time! Glad you both are safe and warm(ish) ....

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

It was! and we're warm now in the southwest

[@jimtomstimpson1477]

you guys are truly living the dream. The adversity just makes for more amazing memories . You both are truly blessed with each other and with a life full of adventure in this marvelous creation.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks Jim.

[@PaulOnTheRun]

I love this kind of stuff. Getting stuck in a snow storm is the epitome of an adventure. I recently went thru a crazy nasty hail storm while visiting Yosemite and as miserable as we were with temps in the high 40's, raining, hail and mud slides thru Tioga pass there was no place I had rather been then right there, right then. Deuces ✌️

[@wflentge]

Here's my suggestion once the roads clear: In the AM about 7:00, face directly at the rising Sun. Now raise your right arm horizonal to the ground and point your index finger straight out. Now point your M/Cs in that direct, hop on and head out until you reach warmer weather. You can always return to the North once winter is over. Be safe!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

That’s a great idea but we are not there now because this was in the first week of September. We are warm now for sure.

[@wflentge]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife That is good to hear.

[@vivian6425]

Down pants and jackets, bike covers, hats, and warmer weather. Glad you made the decision to get a cabin.

[@auggy53]

good thing you had a cabin so close . i wish i could get my wife to ride more , she thinks riding to walgreens and back in one day is a trip .

[@michaelsweeney6596]

The two of you are a couple of real bikers wow 👏 thanks 😊. From a old man on a motorcycle stay safe and enjoy the ride and warm great video

[@MrSkurtenb]

Love the shot when the guy in the background is walking around in shorts while these two are freezing. 45 degrees is still shorts weather for us. All depends on what you are used to. I see this was shot in early September. Freak early storm in the hills. Keep posting the great content and stay safe!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I Know!! I saw that after the edit. It was cold and getting colder . It was way colder than 45 for sure that day.

[@MrBighogman]

As I sit in my climate controlled house watching this, I first thought that they are crazy. I started to think about it. I am the crazy one sitting on a chair and not experiencing life. When problems arise, the adventure begins.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

So true it's just a ride if there is no challenge.

[@monamorgan8614]

Next time, use the tent to cover a bike👍🏻 Trust your instinct, not the weather channel

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

True that !!

[@edgardomatos6923]

Thats a great idea 💡

[@edgardomatos6923]

Wow ....im just amazed how you guys just do it , la, la ,la , no problem, its part of life .... My wife would be complaining...lol ....hats off to you guys ...cute couple , great team work 👏

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Wow, I admire your determination. The cold brings it to a whole new level.

[@bobklaege5569]

What an adventure. The scenery is breathtaking! The snow covered bikes priceless! As you continue your adventure be extra careful of icy roads until you are well south of the Dakotas!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks, will do!

[@ThrottleJunkie31415]

Oh my God!!! What a great video showing the unpredictability of life! What an adventure, thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@bobnelson2499]

Wow, I give you guys all the credit in the world for guts. You guys have my blessings.

[@itzcaseykc]

A couple of bike coverings would be good for those rainy (and snowy) days.

[@lcasey6597]

bike covers traveling take up too much room and are too heavy.....and if used in bad weather they have tendencies to mildew, before drying out if packed tight and damping other items....Makes a big mess....I used to use two trash bags....one for windshield and one for seat...or a half cover which would fold up to the size of a coke can...

[@itzcaseykc]

@@lcasey6597 Yeah. Didn't consider the mildew aspect. Despite having very lightweight covers, it *would* take up space that otherwise could be used for something else. Not having a large trailer on that one bike, a cover isn't as feasible as I had initially thought. It *was* a good idea tho.

[@peterblacklin9174]

Get an Aerostich bike cover. My first lasted 9 years and 110,000 miles, now have a new one. Packs down into it's own pocket. Black dries off quickly. Not inexpensive but great value in my opinion. It lives in my saddle bag on my FJR. I would use it as a shelter if needed in an emergency. No mildew issues at all.

[@darkclouda320]

I always cover my bike regardless of how good or inclement the weather. One more item to carry, but......Snow in September😳. Another great video. Thank you!

[@claytondye9522]

Sitting inside watching this episode. Little colder here. Talking to you from Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. Been minus 15 serious wind chill. Going to minus 20 celsius tonight. And, yes a windchill. We have been watching most of your shows from your preping for your great travels in Texas, while everyone else sits at home during covid. Thanks for your dedication to your trip and to sharing it with us. Your a wonderful couple. All the best to your continued travels. Lorna and Clay, Alberta

[@darrellgerdes]

First time commenting, but we've been following your guys since you sold the house. The snow looked beautiful....and cold. When Richard said the date September 7....I realized that we would have been in Deadwood (same campground in a tent) at the same time on our V-Stroms. We were supposed take our annual trip but cancelled it due to Covid. Y'all stay safe and warm.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thats awesome maybe we'll meet up this nest year.

[@clydehunter931]

Wow! Great story!. You two are an inspiration! Snow Flurry? I surprised you're not locked in for the entire season. They build Texan's Tough for sure!

[@williamgibbs9672]

Great video! Very entertaining. Better than the movies. Celebrity's in the making. Thanks for sharing with your fantastic personalities.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Wow that an awesome compliment. Thanks a bunch.

[@bryanolson6551]

I’d be hugging that campfire! Stay warm you two!

[@vincentdevitt7685]

Having laughter in your lifes is everything , stay safe and enjoy !

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Cheers Vincent.

[@RKBE113]

A suggestion, research shot tent and stove with chimney. Also heated gear to plug into your bike.

[@BrokeDownBob]

Heated gear is a wonderful thing! Saved my butt a couple of times.

[@AndySjostrom]

two things. covers for the bikes always a smart idea in the winter. when camping in a tent in the winter step inside the tent and push out gently to knock off the snow.

[@manfredseidler1531]

Man, all that snow on those bikes... that's borderline bike abuse :) I thought you may have considered dragging the tent onto the covered shelter right next to the tent. Got to hand it to you, you don't give up very easily. Thanks for sharing.

[@trucker-d4161]

I live in Minnesota, in South Dakota a lot hauling cattle, I remember that storm . It was a bit of a freak storm, it’s happened before but not really that often. I’ve been out there a lot on the bike that time of the year. Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes this was a freak storm for sure. supposed to be a dusting then that happened

[@kathygrieve8416]

Gosh you are the perfect person to travel with. You are so positive and cheerful. Yes he is too. Really enjoy your channel

[@13699111]

Michigan here my 70's shovel head dresser handle's the snow better than my rubber band drive road King , HA!!! Thank you for posting this video a lot of fun .

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

We were pretty stationery when the snow hit - not sure if we would have wanted to ride in it. But Chris is from MI and totally understands how the snow is that far north.

[@johnstafford5962]

Hey guys, this was your best video yet! I love how beautiful the snow was and wish I could’ve been there. Thanks for living an adventurous life and letting me and the rest of the world watch it. John Stafford Temple Texas

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks John thanks a bunch

[@kprice399]

Well said!

[@deborahhoward6337]

Glad that you guys are safe and warm!!

[@jeffhennings6015]

Now that's roughing it you need covers for the bikes 😬

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I know. space is limited

[@OldGuyonaBike]

I rode 3-4 days with at least a little snow each day on my way back from SC a couple of years ago. Didn't try to camp. It's great there were cabins there. You soon learn that even a few hundred feet of change in elevation can make all the difference.

[@joezednick3197]

Smart to get the cabin,,,,I've been very cold up there camping in June,,,freezing but no snow. You survived it,,,good job.

[@thegoblin2684]

You guys are real trooper's ... Be safe my friends . 👍

[@skeetersaurus6249]

To keep your glass and panels 'ice-and-snow' free, just keep a small squirt bottle (like WIndex) full of Rain-X windshield fluid...spray as needed. It melts ice and snow down into -F numbers! Makes 'clean-up' very easy. Next year...map your 'regions' for where you want to be at what time of year (like, 'leave Alaska no later than Aug 15', 'leave Colorado below 8,000-ft by Sept 25', etc.). Another GREAT tool to use to 'map regions' is the Burpee Seed Grow Regions chart...easy to see 'areas to stay in, or out of' by given calendar days. South Padre Island in the Winter isn't a bad 'wintering' spot...as is South Florida (carnies used to do this, for the very same reason...though costs are a LOT HIGHER than they had to deal with). USE A PERSONAL PLANNER to 'zone plan', so you almost-NEVER have to deal with snow!!! (though I don't know I'd take nice 'dressers' down into Central America at this time...in the old-days, you could plan a 'winter-over' in Belize...they DO speak English as a primary language...but again, more dangerous now, and prices are MUCH higher than they used to be).

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Great tips we’ll be checking them out.

[@120074]

Great. Video. My wife also brings a umbrella on our road trips (great for when stuck on interstate in high temperatures, some shade at least or a snow storm ) beautiful country!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

[@benbirkigt493]

I would definitely invest in a cheap bike cover to carry their light and can fold up pretty small to keep all inclements of weather off when not riding especially the UV light good video i enjoyed it safe journeys !

Unfortunately that is South Dakota for you. We left the Black Hills exactly 1 month before and it was perfect. Amazing the difference in a months weather. But as all of us bikers say, "It's one more road trip story!" You'll laugh about it later! But you guys made a good call on the cabin. Enjoyed your video as usual!

[@shaneman1861]

Yes! Yes! The audience cheers with a standing ovation. Yet another fantastic video. Some may look at the snow as a nuisance but in reality it's a blessing from God that is part of the motorcycle Journey. Fantastic cooking segment with the iron skillet. And to end with excellent musical editing in at around 16 minutes. Thank you for sharing an excellent video.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Awesome thanks Shane. Cheers

[@garyandrews3925]

I got into a blizzard on the New York State Thruway (I-90) east of Buffalo. It was 75 degrees when I left Cleveland. I was a young buck and fearless. I left the tollway to head north on 81 and had to stop. The state patrol brought me to their garage, let me stay the night, and we had a great time.

[@breezetelemaster1368]

Absolutely Incredible you guy's! Thanks! Be Safe!

[@mikedew380]

Great footage. It does look nice when it snows but a pain when camping in a tent. I got caught at a winter rally in New Zealand (Brass Monkey) one year when it blew and snowed and the tent collapsed on me, Had to us a camp chair to hold an area of the tent up so I could stay under cover. It's all about the adventure. Have a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

[@buckrogers7498]

I road through "Freezing Fog" outside of Wasco, Oregon heading to camp at Cottonwood Canyon State Park. "Freezing Fog" are two terrifying words when you're on two wheels. By the time I realized I was in it I only could try to push through. I just watched the road and hoped that there was still enough ambient heat from the day that the frost wasn't forming on the road yet. Fortunately I made it safely. Two hours later though a FedEx truck slid off the road and down a steep canyon. The driver was okay from what the Ranger told me. Still scary stuff.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

[@roadhog6603]

A heavy duty merino wool base layer with additional layers and textile outer with liner works great for cold weather. I’ve ridden in 32 degrees and stayed warm. Actually electric heated garment under the outer layer will keep you toasty warm.👍

I was in Colorado a week AFTER a freak early snow storm. Probably the same storm that caught you guys. There was still plenty left at the higher elevations but the roads were very dry except where the runoff crossed over. Really a perfect time to be there with afternoon highs in the 70's. We live and learn. Glad you got out of there, what a great adventure. Home base is Fort Worth.

Hey There , Thanks for the video. I have been touring on my bike for a while now. As a matter of fact I got my first Time Out camper in 1977. Didn't see many trailers behind motorcycled way back then... Got to say I got lots of attention ... Always had a audience while setting up. I always got out of that part of the country know later than the second week in August. The first time I didn't was a real adventure. LoL I'm so glad that equipment has gotten better sense 1969. I still love what I do and hope to be able to do it for a while. You two be safe and enjoy this adventure. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Holler if you need anything. Your friend. Billy

There have been many major snow storms in the Hills that were only supposed to be a dusting. You guys definitely had the right attitude. Can't do much about it just have to deal with it. Plus you have one heck of a memory.

[@twinbrookacres]

First time visitor. Nice video. I live in New Hampshire. When you left the tent up I was thinking "No, don't leave it up in the snow. It will collapse! Then you decided to lay it down and I was thinking "No, don't lay it down!. It will freeze in the snow!" Oh, and here in New Hampshire, a foot of snow is no big deal, too. Thanks for posting!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

yeah it wasn't supposed to snow that much. 2 days later it was 70 degrees. this was recorded the first week in September

[@twinbrookacres]

That that be a lesson to you. Never believe the weatherman! LOL

[@amasdaha9734]

I'm so glad to finally see this video. I've been waiting ever since you were here to see how you put it all together. Yes, we do have crazy weather here sometime! Great to see your positive attitudes about it all. ;-) You'll be happy to know we have only had one significant snow storm since then and we had a warm week and 72 degree day here just last week! I can't wait to see where you headed next! Stay safe you two!

Been there, almost done that! We were caught in very frosty weather the morning after our excursion on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad a few years back. We stayed in a motel though, so were snuggly and warm. Still had to dress head to toe in heated gear to travel the next morning. What an adventure! I didn't realize Texicans were so entertaining!!!! Also, suggest you invest in covers for bikes and trailer. I cover mine every night. Keeps out weather and prying eyes.

[@kh3612]

WOW! You're a hardy and determined pair! I remember camping at Yellowstone in a an Apache tent trailer in August of 1965 (no heater or electric hookup). It SNOWED overnight. The water in our wash basin was solid ice and we nearly froze, as well. We never went on another vacation without hats, mittens, scarves, heavy sweatshirts, and extra blankets. Oh yeah, before the snow, a BEAR wandered through our campsite when we were getting ready for bed. Afterward, my dad left us in the trailer and went out to "defend someone else's site" (mom's words), she was furious! BTW, I would have emptied your tent and brought it into the cabin to dry; and then packed it away; but that's just me. Carry on and Happy Trails!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes, you are so right about the tent. We initially thought it was going to just be cold with some rain and slight snow - nothing our tent couldn't handle, but it quickly got out of hand. Lesson learned that hard way. Love your story!

[@chuckhanson35]

We live in South Dakota and were actually in Rapid City the day it snowed. We got another snow in October but it all melted shortly and don't have any now. It was very nice until a couple of days ago when the temps went down to normal. Great trip you guys are on!! Be safe.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes this was an early storm Just a flury was predicted 🤣🤣. I think SD's fulry is different than other places 🤣🤣

[@topher7720]

@@TwoWheelsBigLife These days I find I camp solo and motorcycle tour solo or with mates. My wife and I do however love campervan touring. I can just imagine floating to her the idea of ‘getting back to our roots’ and showing her your video. Or not.....

@@mn1k174 maybe don't show the Stranded video first. 🤣🤣

Been reading some comments and can't believe how ignorant some people are. You have to keep explaining to them it was a freak snow storm. I've been riding since 68 and have run into similar situations and I admire the way you made the best of it. The same week my wife and I left central Alberta and headed for Watertown National Park putting on about 1500 miles total ; no rain ; no snow averaging about 65 F everyday.

Thanks 🙏

I've not had to clean snow off but riding in 19° is on the cool side and watching out for ice. Yes I would ride year round in Cleveland Ohio. Stay safe and always keep the shiny side up

Beautiful scenery. When you were setting the table in the cabin I noticed something I JUST have to mention. Uncle's JD and HW Jr. used to have some serious talks up in the north Georgia mountains. I would have loved to do touring like what y'all are doing ........... when I was much younger.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Thanks for reinforcing my preference to always book a cabin or motel room anytime after late Aug early Sept when traveling past 40 degrees north. I usually carry too much gear I think, one set for cold & one for warm/hot. But the heavy winter gear has come in handy many times when the bike wind chill was single digits in MT and two days later 110 F in Amarillo. Nice report from you guys.

Happy to help!

You are learning fast. It would not be a motorcycle trip if it went perfect. I’m a believer in bike covers on every trip.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

Yes, we thought about bike covers when we first set out. Unfortunately we just don't have the room for them.
