Nomad in Snowstorm
Who is this? Any idea?
I had this happen to me about 12 years ago. This was on my FB page. Now that's a REAL BIKER...

Looked good seeing it in the snow. I don't know if I would attempt it.

Rasta, Is it real or fake? Can you contact this person for verification?

Greg, the guy in your video posted this.
Next time we will go from Baie-Comeau Quebec to Blanc Sablons Above Newfoundland in 10 days. A bit short of 4000 kilometres. Stay tuned! There is still a few seats available on the trek. Contact me at Paul@PaulMondor.com What do you say we grab our heated clothing, put truck snowtires on the bikes and give it a try. We could call ourselves the whitedarksiders. Oh, wait, that may offend some of the Afro American darksiders so maybe we could be the winterdarksiders. Anybody else want in

Does it really matter? Make sure you ask for id when you verify.

If you zoom in on the picture, you can see variations in the edges at the top left of the motorcyclist, as well as the differences in the number of pixels between the motorcycle and the cars.

Exactly... when enlarged... this photo is fake I am afraid. Pixels don't just vary by themselves in photos... at least not as badly as this shows.

Rick Wegner has this picture as his profile picture on facebook. On the picture this is what it said: Every once in awhile a photo so completely describes the spirit, passion, and dedication of the people of Patriot Guard Riders, it has to be shared. This was taken on the West Coast, last Sunday(1/15/12). It was taken by Q Madp. Q runs a website for ALL the KIA's. Iraqiwarheros.org I am not friends with Rick on facebook but the comments he had under the picture are: -Also want you all to know this was at a mission in Oregon. Don't know if this guy is going to, or coming from the mission. -Found out the guy riding the bike is Ed, but don't know the last name. The picture was taken by a guy named Q Madp. Q runs a website for ALL the KIA's. Iraqiwarheros. Someone else added” He is one of the Patriot Guard Riders. They are called in to protect the families of fallen heroes from the losers that find a need to protest the wars by disrespecting them and the families. It's funny to see just how quiet they are with 50+ Bikers watching over them .. Sorry for the misinformation that it was Rick Wegner.

If you got a CT on your bike then you can run a snow chain!

No offense... but I am suspicious of this being real. Too many tell-tale signs it has been photoshopped...
Just saying... Besides... looking at the road surface... I don't care how good you are on a bike, you are not going to last too long on a road like that.

I may stand corrected on one point; which is that riding a motorcycle on a road like this is virtually impossible...
Check out this video... these guys prove I could be wrong... However, I still stand by the photoshopped statement... and this video helps my point on that.
