It's a false negative I mean God forbid people stop buying in to the Adventure motorcycle bull. Have motorcycle will travel may not be ideal but who cares
You would have to be listening to Satan’s spirits. Are you freaken nutz? I had one. Ain’t no way you are going off roading with these big bikes and thinking all is well. It ain’t! Try it! I dare ya! You’ll see! That guy messed up his bike.
On dry grass maybe, if you need to. I ride an M109R and there’s a video of one in a high speed chase across grass and tracks which I thought was impressive. But surely not this kind of terrain, if you care about the bike and getting home under your own steam. I don’t think my bike’s lower ground clearance would have even made this possible.
Well done! Me and two buddies went through Titus Canyon, near Death Valley, on street bikes. One of them was 77 and on a Concours. Me, I was happy getting back on asphalt.
That was nuts, especially the last bit coming down the gradient, but well ridden. I’d have 100% turned back if possible, I care about my paintwork too much for that! But sometimes it’s too late and there’s no place to turn, so you have to keep going. Wonder if it got worse before it got better?!!
@@chadmanproductions Wow! Wonder how this ended; and he probably couldn’t turn back if he wanted to, the rear wheel on a road tyre would surely have spun out trying to climb uphill on all those loose stones!
Only fail I saw was the riders failure on pre planning his route. One thing to deal with a bad road you mistakenly find yourself on. But intentionally putting GW on that trail = NUTS.
@@jackx4311 I just know I didn't see him drop it in this video, anything else is just speculation. I'm not saying I would take my bike down that road but he does seem to know wut he's doing.
The fail was for doing this in the first place on a 900 lb bike. To get to the bottom of that pass they had to do much worse with big drop offs on the side.
@@bwma Haha yah my Tiger800 sees gravel. Granted it's the street model but still. Dirt is for the DT and the KDX. But there is a hole in my arsenal though, the Yammie 700 would fill it nicely.

@@KingCast65 sounds like you have a nice collection. Us motorcycle lovers can't stop at one bike😁 I started with the British stuff (BSA and a Triumph) then added several Japanese bikes. Now my garage is a game of moving bikes around to get to the one I want to ride lol. I need to get something for the gravel. Unfortunately I don't have a duo sport type yet. That Honda Africa twin has me drooling 🤤.
I tried that on a trail in Montana with my 78 Goldwing back in 1984. Went a half mile down the road and turned around. They're called road bikes for a reason.
Crazy mother trucker taking that bike there, a fall would be mega bad news and a ton of money.. Fair doos though he's handled that real good, take my hat off for that. 👍🤣🇬🇧
He didn't end up down the ravine & cause a rock slide on top of himself....I'd say he did well. But NO....should not have attempted it in the first place.
He FAILED the moment he took that overweight barge off road. Given the minimal ground clearance on a Gold Wing, even if he doesn't fall off, the chances of avoiding smashing crankcase or gearbox are slight.
Why would a person choose to operate a GW there? It's a ridiculous act. That the fellow did not drop or crash, is not the point. The odds were very much against his getting through without damage. I'd estimate the odds against him were 80%. Is anyone thinking that we ought to operate our motorcycles in ways that have an 80% likelihood that they'll be dropped or damaged? (Let's not even bring up the possibility of human injury.)
Gary,thanks for assuming we did not offer any help. We did and they refused. Again thanks for judging my character by this video. I might suggest a new method of posting. My dad always told me to think before you speak ,well post in this case. How about next time you apply this method of thinking before you write something negative about someone's character.
@@chadmanproductions hi i didn’t assume nothing, only commented on what I saw,or didn’t in this case,I ride a wing, if help in a situation like that that was offered I’d accept it, 800lb $10k, safe than sorry, self pride ruled the rider I guess,, I never intended disrespect you, riding up there you all got my respect, safe riding my friend 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Add a set of Heidenaus and raise the suspension. Could have just wheelied down. Who needs a GS =). PS- I've owned a Wing, and currently ride a GS from when GSs weren't Starbucks run bikes.
Would love to have one. If I did have any large street bike, I would not take it down this pass. Props, to them for trying, but a good way to kill your yourself and your bike. As they would get lower on this pass, it has some hard sections with some big drop offs.
Cadillac had an ad in '76. Similar road. "Just because your Caddy babies you, dosen't mean you have to baby it." White Coup de'Ville with red interior I believe.
Ya, made that video like 15 years ago. The fail is trying to ride a Goldwing down a difficult 4 wheel drive mountain pass without having a clue what's ahead.
When you choose "shortest route" and "avoid highways" on GPS.
Yep, did that once, never again
Riding a Goldwing on that is like sending a type 1 diabetic to dinner at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
Do you want a dual sport or adventure touring? "Nah, I'm just going to wing it."
Fail? Looked like a win to me!
Herd1/2 a ton over that.

Yea, how is that a fail?
It's a false negative I mean God forbid people stop buying in to the Adventure motorcycle bull. Have motorcycle will travel may not be ideal but who cares
More thumbnail lies.....
I remember back in the day, you had one bike and it did everything. 😎
Yup I remember riding my CB750 Honda on gravel road, 80-90kph no problem
How was that a fail? I would of never attempted it . He did a good job
Clickbait. The only fail was the last four seconds of the video - couldn’t keep a giant motorcycle going 3 mph in frame.
bike stayed upright, so that's an epic win right there
That man can ride! Not many people would try that on a Goldwing.
Exactly, nobody. Its odd, strange, and ultimately purposeless.
As someone who just moved from a klr to a gl1500, it's nice to know I can still go off roading if the spirit moves me. 😀

Why oh why... Wing totally out of its comfort zone.... Makes me cringe watching... 😁

That guy can ride.
Even riding an enduro on that stuff is challenging.
Not a fail whatsoever.
Been riding all kind of bike many years that Gd did good

It gets much worse. I ride it all the time on a dirt bike and could not even imagine anything like that on a Goldwing.
@@chadmanproductions Wow! Wonder how this ended; and he probably couldn’t turn back if he wanted to, the rear wheel on a road tyre would surely have spun out trying to climb uphill on all those loose stones!
How and why in the name of Evil Knievel would someone take a bike like that there?
So people like me will not do it
BBQ.
It’s the only one he has
Phenomenal idea - to ride it, and to film it ❗️
Only fail I saw was the riders failure on pre planning his route. One thing to deal with a bad road you mistakenly find yourself on. But intentionally putting GW on that trail = NUTS.
I wouldn’t want to do that, but the old man gets an A for that ride
Was this filmed using a potato ?
Haha, cell phones were not a thing back when I recorded this Back when video was more like VCR quality.
Rumour is that they’re still up there on their bikes. That roar you hear isn’t bears, it’s them!
I didn't see him drop it so not a fail in my book
If he got that far, it was down to LUCK, and NOT good judgement OR riding skills. And you don't know if he made it back to the highway, do you?
@@jackx4311 I just know I didn't see him drop it in this video, anything else is just speculation. I'm not saying I would take my bike down that road but he does seem to know wut he's doing.
The fail was only in the title.
Why in the world would someone ride a Goldwing down that road?!!! Just NUTS!!!! 🤦♂️🤦🏼♂️
Goldwing fail?
I think not!
It’s a 900lb touring motorcycle! Not a 250lb, not a dirt bike!
The fail was for doing this in the first place on a 900 lb bike. To get to the bottom of that pass they had to do much worse with big drop offs on the side.
The guys filming are probably overjoyed to see him. He came all that way to save them.
Next video: Goldwing in Moab Utah.
IKR
@@KingCast65 👍😁I love my goldwing but I know when to use my dirt bike.

I've heard of touring but that looks crazy
It gets a lot steeper and rockier up ahead.
the only fail was that ham sandwich camera
This was a few years before the iPhone. Did not have a lot of great dirt bike video camera's then.
@@chadmanproductions All Good mate just razzin' :)
After seeing what Matt Spears did on a Goldwing this is LIGHTWEIGHT BABBYYYY!
I tried that on a trail in Montana with my 78 Goldwing back in 1984. Went a half mile down the road and turned around. They're called road bikes for a reason.
What fail? Looks like he made it through to me!
When does he stat to fail? He took a heavy, touring, road bike off road and didn't drop it. No failure there.
That's win in my book! Apparently, 'motorcycle camping' is supposed to be done by 'Adventure Bikes' only! Where's your sense of 'Adventure'?
Add knobbies. Stay thirsty my friends.
looks like a classic case of wrong tool for the job.
Crazy mother trucker taking that bike there, a fall would be mega bad news and a ton of money.. Fair doos though he's handled that real good, take my hat off for that. 👍🤣🇬🇧
It’s all about the riding experience
Perfect bike for offroad tours .🙈
Looks like it got through to me 😎
He did well to stay on ,I’m sure he didn’t go down there deliberately
He didn't end up down the ravine & cause a rock slide on top of himself....I'd say he did well. But NO....should not have attempted it in the first place.
Looked like a win to me.
In these parts, we call that road an interstate.
Looked like a Win to me.
Like an elephant going through a bog.
How's that a fail? 🤔
He FAILED the moment he took that overweight barge off road. Given the minimal ground clearance on a Gold Wing, even if he doesn't fall off, the chances of avoiding smashing crankcase or gearbox are slight.
@@jackx4311 i disagree
not a good idea, but also not a fail
was gps found this route
"Thousand Dollar Bogan?"
Where was the fail
Soooo how did he fail??? You fail at being a camera man though.
Hey Ma! Do you think this is a good idea? :-)
What fail. He was the onlyone winning 😁
I prefer the asphalt.
definetly not what a GW is made for.
How in the heck was that a fail?🤔
I could have done that on my wing in 8 seconds while half asleep and scratching my arse with my left hand.
Rode it like he stole it.
Insane decision
WHY TRY OF ROADING ON THAT BIKE? John P.
I agree with the comments below. Good grief, who on earth gets a 2 wheel car into a situation like that? The fact the rider survived is a miracle!
Fail? Gold Win!
More like the poster of this clip is the fail.
Thats a goldwing. Built to be on asphalt.
Poor old Goldwing doesn't deserve that.
The guy is crazy. Cruiser bikes aren't for this kind of terrain. I don't dare to ride a dirty road even with my Virago 535.
FAKE CLICK BAIT , it wasn’t a fail he pulled it off
It's always the rider, not the bike...
Way too heavy tanks!!!
if ur gonna take a road bike off road, this is the one that'll do it! slow and easy!

I didn't see the fail.
Not for a goldwing up there, if that was me I would of put my camera down and helped those guys,😳

It looks totally unnatural to see a Gold Wing there.
Why?
Why, oh why, oh why???

"Starbucks run bikes" haha, good one.
what are you doing there ?
WINNING !!!! 🐯
At what point did they realize "Oh, s$%^&, this isn't a good idea!"?
Must not like your Goldwing.....
Would love to have one. If I did have any large street bike, I would not take it down this pass. Props, to them for trying, but a good way to kill your yourself and your bike. As they would get lower on this pass, it has some hard sections with some big drop offs.

Looks like end of the road

Makes no sense whatsoever.
immerhin, er hat's geschafft
How did they fail exactly? Did you fail to comprehend that $500 bike can do the things your $20-30K bike does?😀😀😀
He FAILED by taking that bike OFF-ROAD, you MORON.
Como se nota la pasta. Ni mi escooter 300 cc la meto yo por ahì.
Why would you !!
wonder how many times they dumped them...?
Common sense FAIL
