- It's the first time that the three wheeler guys have been able to hit these trails this year! The conditions here in upstate NY have been so funny this winter... warm temps, rain, snow, rain, warm temps, snow.... etc... just made it so my buddy Doug could not get his trails dialed in and packed/groomed enough to have his best three wheeler buddies over to hammer with him. But finally the cold temps lasted long enough to give us an AWESOME day of riding!
For about 6 hours in 20 degree weather we got a nice dose of throttle therapy. I'm pretty sure I got a touch of frost bite on my heels, but I'll live. I took a little tumble and so did Doug and a few other people. But we had a great day for sure! My buddy Jeff was able to come and enjoy the day too. It was just a really great day.
We put on a 3D printed plastic 350X heat shield on my machine to test it out. This will be a new product offered by my friend Kevin if we can test it out some more to make sure it won't melt down when the temps are actually above freezing. Stay tuned for that!
Anyway, this was the day we had and it was a great one. Thanks Doug to you and you're whole family!
#thanks #honda #snow

Don't u just love when the guy riding in front of u looks back?
And your like yesi am rite behind you step it up, throttle is on the right
Man, following Doug on his home turf is pretty crazy! The guy RIPS and I'm just trying not to die...
@@ThisOldTrike trying not to die includes just going to the store for milk these days

Awesome man! Made my day! Reminded me of riding as a kid upstate in the 80’s!
I'm glad you liked it brother!! Yes sir, this ride could have easily been a snap shot from 1980-something!
NIce ride. NIce property and trails. Quite the treat. It's a shame Vinny didn't show up.
Yeah, that's definitely a special spot for sure. Yeah, it's a shame Vinny didn't come... but I would have been more surprised if he did at this point.
awesome vid but way too cold for this boy to go play in it. we got about 6" a couple weeks ago down here in se ky, but my manco stayed covered up nice and snug, i'm just not that mad at the snow to go ridin in it anymore lol ya'll stay safe and warm up there, maybe by some miracle i'll get to trikefest, even if it's just on my beater bike.
Thanks for watching brother! If you come to Trike Fest swing by my camp and say hi!
@@ThisOldTrike oh i'll definately let you know if i can make it. I'll be in my 2013 chevy express short bus thats done up like a old woody wagon with wood grain on the sides.I'm hard to miss at camp sites lol
Looks like a blast.
I missed you. I wish you could have come up and gone along!
That place looks great! Thank's for sharing
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Makes me wish I was riding my 350 instead of tearing it apart again…. And that new heat shield looks mint!!
Thanks brother! When your 350 goes back together it's going to be ready to rock for a LONG time... and it won't be long either. Yeah, those heat shields are going to be an awesome product! I need to ride it more when it's warmer to test it better to see if it will melt. 25 degree temps wasn't the best air temp to really test it out.
I think my 86 200x after its rebuild would be pretty good for this.. but now its just a loud pipe and no go
Yeah, the other 86 was doing great!
Are those the state snowmobile trails around Indian Lake? (Just heard you say private property….quite a bit of land with great scenery!)
That is all private land... owned by either Doug or his family... and some friends who are close and pitch in to maintain them.
Next time you do this run I'd like to be involved 86 ATC250R with zippers
I have a feeling that this was the only time this year we'll be doing it...
Since your such a big trike guy you should add a tiger 500 to your collection if you can find one ( rarest 3 wheeler in the entire world)
I'm a big HONDA trike guy... I've seen Tiger 500's... My good buddy has one. They're cool, but I'm 100% not interested in them.
Great footage. What was this camera shot in linear? Narrow? Wide angle?
Great video its ben forever since i went out and rode like that looks like a great time sure it was cold but need to wear artic gear and definitely some insulated sorell boots but its a very cool video .be safe
I hear ya. I wore these exact boots last year on the 2 rides we took on these trails and it was no problem... but it was in the 30's those days and I think we rode longer on this last ride... I don't want too big of a boot either.... because I need to shift. Not like riding a sled as you know. Still had an amazing day!!
Wow, amazing trails & sights in your state. I’ll have to make it down there.
New York is a beautiful state for sure. I don't agree with the leadership of the state... but it's got a lot to offer!
A great ride. To cold for me LOL.
Borderline too cold for me too! Just my feet though.
Must of misplaced my invite 😊 glad you had a good time slim 👍👍
Phil
Oh yeah, we would have had to send that out LOOOONG in advance! The logistics of that would have been pretty tricky!
I wish I could ride the trails with y'all if could and if my old big red was running. Ever since he broke down both me and big red been itching to go snow riding.
I hear ya. I wish rides like this were a regular thing! Seems like once a quarter I can break away with the boys and have some fun. Hope you get that Big Red back up and running!!
@@ThisOldTrike hoping to. One thing turned to another and have to rebuild the engine. And rehook my lights and ect. Ol big reds like a tractor. Old but hard to kill. Ride em fast and work like a heavy duty tractor. I call him my mini tractor at times for the other plans I have for him.
Check out the videos for big red if I have any when he's running again or what I'm planning on for him.
From a fan with an ATC 200E in Oklahoma.
And if have any tips you'd like to share on working on big red. Id appreciate it
Are you in the market for an 86 350X front rim? Also have an 82 250R hub and rim. Not sure how I can ever send you pictures. Fred
Maybe! My cell phone number is 518-332-3040. Feel free to text me anytime.
Sent you a text with some pictures the other day, not sure if you got them? Fred
Gopro has a new “Enduro” battery that works for extreme temperatures. They last for long time in winter. I just bought them.
I'll definitely be looking into those! My gopro is an older Hero 6. It hasn't let me down... but this was probably the coldest ride with it.
I stuck it in my pocket while we at lunch and it warmed up enough to get the Dutcher Loop ride... but then it was too cold to get the ride back to Doug's.
Ride on, right on/
Thanks brother!!
Great Video!
I missed not riding in the Snow, or on the frozen river this year.
The Weather here was funny as well, warm, then cold and snowy.
we had enough Ice one weekend, then none the next.
Looked Like Great Times!
Beautiful Scenic Views 13:21, 28:14
Them 4 Snow tires look as though they worked for you.
Heat Shield looks like it survived!
Thanks for watching brother! Yes, it was a terrific ride for sure. Doug has a special spot up there... And definitely a weird winter. I'm sure next year will be better for us all.
It’s so funny that you can get pro wedges for around 1200 bucks but I just found a bundle deal of paddles and pro wedges for 100
My name is Colton and at 29:06 I freaked out for a split second, hahahah
Love the video great work!
Im sure its me but no matter what i put 4snows on , it does not steer
You need a Kenda Front Max on the front... 🥴
@ThisOldTrike I have something simular
If i wasn't 6hrs away I would have been there
We need to figure out how to teleport you up here!
@ThisOldTrike yea I hear ya, a propane rocket would do
Is this up by the Adirondacks ?
Yes sir.
Looked fun!!
We bring a plastic hammer to clear ice from footpegs while winter riding. I guess thats why they had hondaline footpeg covers for winter.
I did 35 ATC miles last saturday. Snow/mud….
Oh yeah, my foot pegs were mounded with ice by the end of the ride... A little hammer would have been great! I would have liked to know how many miles we did on this ride.
Awesome, awesome video. Would love to ride trails like that, thanks for taking us along brother.
Thanks Pat! Glad you liked it brother!!
Beautiful friends, trails and trikes! I would off love to run that with you's!
So cool! We dont have any snow down here😞
It's been the weirdest winter here too... this is probably the only snowy ride I'm going to see this winter.
What tire pressure do you use in snow?
I typically run 6 to 7 pounds all the time. More than what is recommended but that's what I like.
public snowmobile trails? or a buddys property
These are all on private property.
@@ThisOldTrike ok thats good. i saw groomed trails in the title and saw you guys driving on them and thought uh oh
Looks like a great place to ride! Grew up riding Honda ATCs, still can't beat the sound of those 2 strokes
Amen to that!! Yes sir, this is a special place to ride for sure. Thankful that I've made friends with my buddy who has access to it. I'm not sure what it's like when it's not covered in snow, but it's a winter wonderland when it is!
After the past quad talk live I'm surprised you didn't bully everyone out of there lol
Lol, I do my bullying off camera... But for the record... Mr. Staffa was telling some very tall tales during his interview!
@@ThisOldTrike The first few seconds he did have me going, im like wow dudes a dick... Then i saw the shrine.
He and I have been friends since 2017. Met through facebook when he helped run the groups Vintage Honda and ATC Animals. But eventually he started Honda Hoarders late in 2017. We had met in person earlier that fall. He ask me and 4 other guys if we'd like to be admins of the group so that's how it all kinda started. This "feud"... if you want to call it that, is all just public ball busting. I started giving him a lot of crap for not attending trike fest... public memes in Honda Hoarders leading up to TF... bashing anything he was doing that wasn't trike related (cats... buying/selling gold and silver... his mini dumpster side business... anything I could come up with). Then he would reciprocate and it's just evolved into what it is now.
@@ThisOldTrike Well, it could always be worse right?
Way less dangerous than a Fat Cat.
Right!! lol... On a fat cat I feel like I was about to fall all the time. On this I didn't feel like I was going to fall until I was already on the ground... lol.
Looks like so much fun. We had a couple little snow storms in Pennsylvania the last week. I work for the local DPW, I’m usually out plowing roads. Last Saturday I went out a bit on my ‘85 200X. Snow riding is so much fun. I do need a 350X or 250R though.
Man, God bless you guys who are out there cleaning this stuff up... Man that has to be stressful. And yes, you definitely need a 350X AND a 250R!!
It’s not really a bad gig, I drove a beer truck for 18 years prior. The winters can be tough, but yet rest of the year we usually work 7am-3:30, not bad hours. Thanks for making the videos
Looks like a helluva lot of fun. You are blessed to have that many adventurous friends.
Yes sir! I've definitely got a lot of awesome people in my life for sure!!
Thanks for the invite
Man... how inconsiderate of us!
Where do you get the 3D printed heat shields at
13:52 PRO WEDGE all the way
I need to get some tubes for mine... they don't last long as is.
@ThisOldTrike that bead sealer I have works great I'm sure a few of my tires stay up solely because I used that... I sent you a snapchat of the label a few weeks ago
Out for a rip
Yeah buddy!!
Was a great ride for sure! Thanks for maintaining those trails Doug!
Yes sir! If I had just had a little warmer footwear, that would have been perfect.
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo 👍
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it!
I’m so jealous!
I'm jealous that I don't live closer to Doug!
That's awesome that you have that group to ride with.
Yes sir. They're all great guys too. Very thankful I've gotten to know them!
I needed this!!!!!
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed it brother!
Awesome video
Thank you!! It was a great ride!
Iam from Vancouver Canada I just picked up a 1985 original 350x. I watch your video on the difference between the 85-86 when I was looking for one. Awesome you are putting your experience on your u tube channel. Thank you
Awesome! Congratulations on the 85 350X! And thank you for watching my videos. I'm glad they helped you and were a resource for you!
What rear axle bearings do you use
Thanks
Doug pete is a very fortunate man
Amen!
Yes sir! He also must spend a lot of time maintaining these trails as well though!
Looks like a great time 💯🇺🇸
Absolutely!!
