Fall Moto Camping Trip With Friends on My 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 Adventure

- It is fall and the weather is getting colder and wetter, but that didn't stop my friends and I from getting out on a fall moto camping trip near Detroit, Oregon. In this motorcycle camping adventure, three friends and I ride up Santiam Canyon through the areas destroyed by wildfire last year, stop for lunch in Detroit, Oregon and check out the incredibly low water level of the lake, and then head out around Detroit Lake to a top secret dispersed camping spot on the south side of the lake. A very enjoyable motocamping evening was had by all, including firewood gathering, camp setup, cooking brats on sticks over the fire, and the consumption of many beverages around the campfire. Motorcycle camping on my 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 Adventure is always fun, but its even more fun with friends like Nathan (on his KTM 500 EX-C), Ryan (on his Honda Africa Twin) and Travis (also on a Honda Africa Twin). Cold weather motorcycle camping can still be enjoyable, and this fall motocamping trip is a perfect example of what I mean.

Lol! That bud light joke aged like fine wine 😂 Love the videos man!
You guys have so much fun together. Glad to see it.
Holy crap, my tent was way too close to yours... my apologies for the grizzly bear snoring! Thanks for a fun afternoon and evening! Happy to be a part of it.
I'm the one who set it up there 😂
i never judge anothers preference in beverages.i cannot drink any coors products because of instant headache.actually most all domestic beers give me instant headache,but i have found that many micro brews do not.dont know how much of that is related to my diabetes,but also limit my consumption for the same reason.enjoy your shows.dont currently do adventure biking but that may change.
This is one of your best - laughing my ass off...love the camaraderie - reminds me of our crew here...enjoy!!!
We had an amazing time. So much laughing and bantering on this trip.
When my wife and I moved to Oregon in the camper for the summer, we largely stayed around Mckenzie Bridge area. That whole area was burned up damn near all the way as well. Everyone either living in a brand new just built house, or still waiting their turn living in a camper. Once in a while we would get a good day of just smoke pouring off the mountains, but usually it was alright. I don't think we had a single day of rain our 2 months there. It was truly incredible to see, wildfires just don't happen like this on the east coast. The wife was working in Springfield, so every time we could, we stopped at this roadside barbecue on the outskirts of Springfield. The name evades me, but it was the Cowan family. Hands down, best pulled pork I've had in my life. Unfortunately, we came during wildfire season, so no campfires for us.
Looked like a great time with the boys. I absolutely love the scenery out there! You take care, enjoy life and ride safe! 👍😁
Great fun....little bush craft tip on your fire wood processing...we have wet conditions here as well....if you baton that wood before you put it on the fire it will dry out in no time flat. You boys look like you need nothing more than Coors light.
Why am I watching a bunch of guys eating hot dogs the LONG way 🤣🤣
That looked like a lot of fun for a sausage fest!
So much fun!! Thanks for the laughs and the great company!!!
Looks like fun! Super happy to see Detroit making a comeback
I want this..... when i get my klr i have to do this.... i need a break from the day to day and just to relax in nature lol
Beers, brats, da bys and bikes...ya gotta luv it. CHEERS from da ROCK!
Always jealous to see you guys out together. I feel like I've followed all of you long enough to really be able to read personalities like I'm actually there.
The neck gaiter pillow cover is a good idea. I always just wrapped mine in my t-shirt of the day\week... ahem, clean enough.
It's worked well for me
What a cool channel! Motorcycles, camping, Star Wars, Nintendo and beer. Greetings from NC.
I enjoy the camaraderie as well as the equipment descriptions, reviews, etc.
Gave you a thumbs up just for the pro Coors Lt comments.
good times with friends, priceless memories !
the Thumbnail makes you look like Hordoor..... Love your videos!
Nice score on the Blanton's
I was very pleased
You had me at squirty cheese!
“..a fifth of Blanton’s…” closely followed by “…I think I drank too much last night” in the intro means a fun video to follow! It’s awesome to see how much Detroit is recovering after last year 🙌
I may have accidentally killed a 12 pack...
Dude, just found your channel. So funny are viva la colors light. Subscribed
Trips like that do so much for your soul - completely recharge / reset your “batteries”. I try to get away even for one night, at least once a month.
I love how much camping video we get, but I would appreciate more moto video. I would love to see you take the KLR down your favorite, most fun, twisty roads both paved and not. I feel we haven't gotten to see you really stretch that bike's legs. =]
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Hard to beat Blanton's. Definitely some good stuff
I was STUNNED to find it on the shelf...and they had 2 bottles.
I only drink four kinds of beer - hot-or cold -yours or mine good times
In 1805 my city of Detroit Michigan was destroyed by fire. Bucket brigades didn't do the job very well that day.... and the population of Detroit at that time was under 700 people. The city was totally gone. 😁
Nice score on Blantons for retail!!
Wow! I have a very similar sleeping mattress and bag set up except I slide off the dang mattress. I have got to figure out how not to slide and I really like how your bag works around your mattress. I also recently purchased a 2022 KLR650 and have almost 600 miles on it so still going through the break in routine but have done some off roading and was very pleasantly surprised how capable the bike is even with the stock tires which I think work very well over all. I appreciate your Vids. Keep it up good job. Incidentally, Hilarious VLOG
You have great taste in bikes!
😂😂😂 coors light life. All I drink now😮
If you got a small axe with you, splitting those in half will help the drying quite a bit.
Sweet vid... Great find with the blanton's..
Excellent vid!
Thank you!
Great trip dudes! Loving the campfire camaraderie!
You did above par fun during the below par camping video.. That evens out everything anyway 😁
ok i have a reeeeelly small bike, so I'm very interested in how Nathan gt a tenth chair, and all the other stuff packed down that small! Has he done a video?
love your work. All the best from Dorking... Well, near enough anyway...
He hasn't made a video on it but I sent him your comment so maybe he will!
@@DorkintheRoad awesome-thank you!
@@user-xb4nn6ql5l Thanks for the suggestion!
@@fortheloveofknobs thank you -- going to go subscribe now. Thanks also to both of you for interpreting some pretty dodgy spelling in my original comment!
My son and I drove through the area, I have a brother in Terrebonne, Oregon. Detroit Lake is beautiful. Make sure you stop at the bakery in Sisters.
My kinda of trip, looked like a blast!
Budlight guy out....🍻
You seem cool. You can still hang. 😁
Awesome
Hawaiian Sam and Irish Mike your videos
Excellent!!! Probably the best video I’ve seen this year. The Oscar’s (Mayer) for best supporting meat on a stick goes to Johnsonville Chili Cheese Smoked Sausages.... and, C00rs Lite for an amazing hydration multitasking role... Best crew around that 🔥!!! Loved the video!
I'd like to thank the academy
This is my favorite style of vid !!
I'm happy to hear it!
All Good at the end of the day..... A++
That sounded like you had bears in camp
Thanks for the look up Detroit way, in addition thanks for the laughs. Not encourage you, but "funny when lit" ;) Haha!
The OR wild fires were no joke. I took a putt out to Blue river earlier this year since the fires and man I knew it was bad, but seeing first hand really nailed it home. I was about 45ish miles from that fire and it was still tooo close.
Glad to see the squatch make an appearance!
Congrats on the blanton find!
I was so stoked
One thing that helps me with getting wet wood going is splitting it sometimes it’s dry in the middle of it hasn’t been to rainy.
Yeah we should definitely have split it up some more but we were pretty tired from all the sawing so we just started drinking instead.
That's freaking awesome!!!!
Earplugs, my Dork. Earplugs.
Take your sleep system to the next level. Helinox cot max. You might have to set it up right side up inside the tent (a little tricky) but you hook the corners of your big agnes sleeping bag over the cot. Also, only inflate the air mattress to 60%.
That was a great video you guys are awesome
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We had a great time.
Dig the vids. Located in Forest Grove, Or.
You guys are having a great time, I'm jealous. Better not let your significant outers sees these or you're going to have to go get a real job.
you guys are effin hilarious!! Keep up the good work and excellent content!
You keep watching them, we'll keep making them!
1. That is one sharp Silky saw. Jeez. Two strokes to go through a 6in dia log. Amazing
2. I can’t find your link for Coors Light?
3. Good job. I’m in Colorado and the bike is now waiting for spring so I am jealous of a fun camp trip. Sad.
You should start calling it the Big Angus.
I'm afraid I'd drink too much and eat it by mistake
Good you got rid of that snitch cop 😂
I laughed so hard .... Thank you
Us too! Thanks for watching!
Most times I go moto camping, I drink too much every night 😂
You need an Amish woven straw hat with that beard.. Would be just like an Amish dude 😂
I have an Africa twin 1000, I want to take a klr650, as a second motorcycle for traveling alone on bad roads, to buy or not?
Can you not travel alone on your Africa Twin on bad roads?
@@DorkintheRoad it's a pity to hit him on the rocks, the fuel tank is small 18L, the weight is 240 large to lift often, I plan to go to Georgia to the mountains and Turkey to the canyons.
I'm from Europe, we don't have information on klr650, sorry I'm not writing well, Google translator helped me;)
The Bud Light comments have aged well.
The best video.
Thanks for watching!
Ha, the bud light joke has definitely aged.
Only thing I wanted to know is what kind of tent...not listed.
Great video,.funny as hell! Thank you for sharing your bag and sleeping pad. What tent are you using?
It's an old Kelty Gunnison that they don't make anymore, sadly.
Hello, do you recommend a stand alone GPS like you are using? Is it better than a phone in the woods or is there another reason? Thank you.
Great video. Laughed my A** off. Are you enjoying the KLR?
Sorry, but Coors light is not a beer! 🤣It‘s a softdrink! By the way, I‘m from Duesseldorf/Germany…. 😄 Love your videos!
It didn't feel very soft when I drank 13 in a row
@@DorkintheRoad 😄👍
Great video and fun with the crew! Just curious if you have experienced any fueling issues with your new KLR? I've seen some concerns being discussed on ADVRIDER and wanted to get your take on this.
No issues so far, but I'm only at like 800 miles
Sounds like a bear beside you tent. Zzzzzz
What happened to the DR-Z400S? I've been watching all your old videos on it and thought you loved that bike!
I posted a picture of it yesterday
@@DorkintheRoad Dope! Where did you post it? I'll follow you there.
Who was riding the 2 stroke in the middle of the night?
Nathan was trying to use it to fan the fire.... It went about as well as you might expect
Hey Dork, Have you ever owned a Scorpion AT950 helmet, any thoughts?
I've never used one, but they're pretty popular
I have a 20 GSA 1250 and looking to buy a second bike for dirt roads, I know the GSa will do it but I am looking for something simple and will ride mostly gravel roads but some trails as well. I am trying to decide between the KLR and a DRZ. I am 6ft 4in and about 260 lbs. Wuld appreciate your thoughts given you have both.
Too much overlap with the KLR and your GSA. If you want to ride trails, DRZ all day.
So funny!
I just bought the klr adventure a month ago and I'm really liking it. Ive been a cyclist for a long time and I use slime in my tires to prevent flats. What's your opinion on sliming motorcycle tires. I'm not seeing anyone on RUclips doing that
I've heard mixed things. I personally am not a fan.
Who is the worst snorer!
Hey Dork, what does Sex in a canoe, and Coors lite have in common?
their both damn near water.
Thanks for your content; it's all great
Is there much open south of Detroit? I haven't been down there since before the Santiam fire.
Also, nice trip, looks like it was a good one!
It's all closed off for hazard tree removal. Likely until late 2022 or early 2023.
@@fortheloveofknobs sad day tho :(
Gotta swap to a hammock homie.
Can't sleep on my back at all
@@DorkintheRoad neither can I actually, there are ways to sleep on your side… you hang the hammock tight, and sleep diagonally. It might be worth trying, if you could borrow one. Don’t bother with the skinny hammocks, try to find something ENO doublenest or equal sized. They take up almost no room, and are very fast to set up. In the summer it’s much cooler than sleeping on the ground, you don’t need a flat spot. My wife, my son, and I have camped on the side of a hill a couple times. If you could figure a way to try it for free, it’s totally worth trying.
Sorry to my bud light fans but..... SWITCH 🤣🤣🍻
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one 😂
@@DorkintheRoad 🤣
PS, how can I send you money for better beer?😂
Sena’s are doodoo, Cardo is the way to go because you can easily pair with other Cardo’s AND Sena’s.
Was this down Blowout Rd?
I honestly don't know. I just followed Nathan.
