In This Episode
Oregon boasts some of the finest motorcycle riding in the country and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway & Travel Through Time Scenic Byway don’t disappoint. From gold to ranching to motorcycle scenic byways - Oregon’s roads have evolved into an awesome network of motorcycle friendly routes that are amazing and we’re exploring them. The Elkhorn Scenic Byway and Travel Through Time Scenic Byway in Northeast Oregon loops from mountain ridges, through the Powder river valley and into the heart of Oregon’s cowboy country.

we call that the Dooley Mt. run...a group of us meets in Baker City every year and ride the roads in that area...simply fantastic and not to be missed if you ride...
You two are wonderful!
Please keep your content coming. My wife and I are addicted to your videos.
We are living vicariously through you until I can retire from the military. 👍
One of those head stones caught my interest. I looked up Deputy Edward A. (Bud) Morrow. He served the town of Granite for 12 years as a special deputy, and Mayor. He was the town’s caretaker beforehand. A Mother, and Daughter had a out of town guest murder him over a grudge they had against him. Bless his heart. He was only 53. I love exploring little towns. Thanks for taking us all along on your travels. Ride, and be safe! ❤️
You Both are Terrific
Ahh Thanks.
I know this is an older video, but a curve is "Anything that changes the direction of travel".. hahaha
I lived in Hereford for about 2 weeks, in 1987, as an exchange student.
I was changing families, and until the found me a better one, I stayed with the lady that worked for the program.
Her and her husband lived on a farm, and had a Greek exchange student.
I live in Rio, Brazil, a gigantic city, so, living on a farm, near a town of 35 people, was very different!! And fun too!!
Feeding the animals at 7 in the morning, in the freezing cold, shooting coyotes, so they wouldn't eat the calves at 1 in the morning, and helping deliver a newborn calf from 4am to 6am... Experiences I would never have here, and that I'll never forget!!
That’s a great story. Cheers from the US
@@TwoWheelsBigLife
I'll be there soon to start my trip... But it will be in Europe, with an RV, bought in the US.
I think what you two are doing isn't only inspiring but just freaking cool..I've ridden alot of the country but always with limited time. Soon I'm going to retire and ride for a few years then decide where i want to settle down maybe. God bless to you both
Yes. We’ve been telling people. We don’t know what we’re gonna do when we grow up. 🤣
Nice to see you back on RUclips. Missed your banter.
Thanks. We’re here every Sunday. Glad you are watching.
I started watching your channel a few weeks ago. As a very veteran rider and a now veteran motorcycle instructor I was impressed by your gear choices, your riding style and my girlfriend loves watching and laughing at your banter between you two. My late wife was not a long journey rider, although she loved riding her own bike with me. This new lady in my life can't wait to ride with me anywhere. Last ride to Mt. Rainer from Oregon. She loved it. You guys have inspired her to go places we never dreamed we would. Keep up the journey and may the sun always gleam off your visors in the morning and may sun gentle settle at your backs at night. 👍😎
Thank You so much for he camplements.
Been in that area many times, can you imagine that dredge running and the noise it made???? Enjoyed the video.
So True
I really enjoy your videos. If you laugh as much off camera as you do on camera, you are enjoying a great life.😄
Yes we do. Life is great with the right person. 🤔🤔🤯
KYD, mentioned your channel. I love ridding my 14 street glide. 50,000 miles so far. I really want to do a Alaska trip from Colorado.
Yep Alaska is on our bucket list also.
I recently found your channel and I have enjoyed it.
I have ridden a lot of the area in the early 90s.
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
"Little Dragon"? That's funny! The Tail of the Dragon, located just outside of Robbinsville, NC and starts at Deals Gap, travels 11 miles into Tennessee with 318 curves ...and they do mean curves. Still, as technical as it is, plenty of other wonderful roads throughout the Great Smoky Mountains.
Another great video, I enjoy them all.
We hope to ride the rewal dragon soon
I just love your vids. Besides the content, the two of you are just adorable together!
Thank you so much!
My wife and I are currently living in our camper in Oregon for work, moved out for a few months from CT. Would have loved to have my bike out here!
Getting to Oregon in 2 years, can't wait. We'll be on Boulevards.
Thanks for the tour!
enjoyed the ride im seeing parts of the countr thru you two,,, Keep on ridin Be Safe
"If we had adventure bikes..." Hmmm?!? ;-)
🤔🤔.
Baker County, Blue Mountains and the Elkhorns, been on that route
👍👍✌️
Just discovered your channel. Super inspired by your adventures. As a returning motorcyclist after a 20 year hiatus I am excited to be back in the saddle! Great to see videos of your part of the world. Subbed. 🙂
hello! 🙋 I just found you guys, I'm enjoying your content very much, thank you! for sharing this kind of content 🏍️🏕️😎✌️
Nice Ride!! Will have to check out that area next time I'm riding through. Safe Travels!! Thanks for posting
Thank You
In episode 13 y’all talked of drier sheets. I use baby wipes for a quick wash up like face, hands etc.
Yes the dryer sheets were to cover the odors. We do use baby wipes to clean the dust off of us. 🤣🤣
On episode two of our trip we did the little dragon, probably the best pass of our whole trip! We did it heading north from unity
it's a cool little road. We just missed you guys when you were there.
Love your guys channel!
If you get out to the south coast we should do a video together . Lots of local content there if you want a preview. Cheers, Frank aka The big white dog in the sidecar.
👍👍
I dropped few ghost town videos a few weeks back. I love to see old buildings, mines and machines. People forget about how nice a long awaited shower can be. I was in Iraq back in 2003 and showers were rare, so when we got one I sure enjoyed it...
So True and Thank You for your service. The Dredge was awesome. i wish we could have going into all of its parts
Awesome scenery
If you guys every get to Clarkston WA stop at the True Value store and talk to Doug. He rides everywhere on his BMW. I've gone to market in Florida before and he rode his bike there.
We'll keep that i n mind. Cheers. Thanks.
15 miles long 188 turns. I do hope that was an over exaggeration lol. Oh my gosh so that was seriously how many turns/curves? That's crazy!! What a beautiful ride!!! Your video is so crystal clear and stable. Makes it so pleasurable to watch. Love that you're willing to take a detour to see a cool unplanned site! Too bad you had to turn around. But at least you got to have a little eats in a pretty spot. What an fun little stop you made. I love replica old towns like. I'm a bit nerdy lol. Oh gosh that original school house was cool. Think I'd pass on the two person outhouse though LOL. Old cemeteries are always an interesting visit. Haha love how you stop talking while he double checks the map. You guys are so cool!
Thanks so much for the comments. We are so happy that so many enjoy our Videos. Thanks Again. Cheers.
My guess is that DOT identified the curves (with greater than a certain number of degrees), but someone rode the highway and counted the bends with the curves and raised an awareness, so they corrected the number to include bends. A case of "I don't understand all I know".
🤔👍
You should check out Bagbe hotsprings. It's a hike in to springs had big logs cut out to fill up with water.
We heard of that place maybe next time we ran out of time for that.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife only problem with bagbee is its a hike in trail with parking at trail head!
Have you guys riden the Dragon with 318 curves in 11 miles between TN and NC? Awesome ride in the East outside Knoxville/Maryville, TN. Enjoy all your stuff you publish. Big THANKS!
We have not Yet 👍🤔
Beautiful area! Was raised in NE Oregon. Wallowa Lake out of Joseph OR also worth seeing.
Very cool!
Great!! Thanks again.
My pleasure!
You two are awesome
You two are great. Being a solo rider, I would have to argue/dialog with myself.
There is sooooo much history around that dredge. It actually was able to move all through the valley by somehow making it's own pond to float in. If you noticed all those berms off the side of the roads those are what was left after the dredge did it's job and there is still gold in there because at the time it wasn't cost effective to process it. That dredge basically tore the valley to shreds and caused huge damage to the land. I been there a few times and if you get to talk to the caretakers they can fill you in about the history. Also it is alleged that one of those teams on one of those gold mining shows had one of those and were trying to get it running on the show. Don't know if they did cuz I didn't watch it all that much. OK schools out for today. Go ride :)
Hey, My BMW! I have a 07 K1200GT in the same colour. Great to see what she would look like over there! Big love from the UK. New sub. 👍
Chris loves her K12. I here that color is not common either
@@TwoWheelsBigLife No, I was genuinely excited! Think it's unique to the higher spec SE? I picked mine up in May with 3990 miles on it so it should be good for many many more miles. Any plans to come over to Europe at all?
Not yet But would love to Ride Europe.
What day did you go through Baker City? Our CMA chapter had a day ride over that way on Saturday, we might have crossed paths. We turned south on Hwy#245 and rode the twistys down to Unity Reservoir for a picnic lunch. Then back to Ontario....
Hi u2 great vid thanks 🖐🇦🇺👍
Thanks 👍
*Two Wheels Big Life* Perfect as always. Have a superior day :p
Thanks
nice KYD hate. I found your channel by watching KYD. Stay safe and I enjoy the videos. Keep the shinny side up.
Thanks!! Kudos to the Cousin’s channel. They are quite the inspiration for such youngsters. 🤣🤣
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I love there channel but having a couple motorcycles I'm understand your struggles. Stay safe!
Increased Fees for Out-of-State Campers at Oregon State Parks
In order to close a budget shortfall and to encourage campers to stay closer to home, the Oregon State Parks system has initiated a temporary surcharge for out-of-state campground reservations. The change went into effect on August 10 and will only include new reservations made after that date. Existing reservations are not affected. The surcharge adds up to 30 percent to the reservation fee. For example, RV sites with full hookups will increase from $33 to $42 a night for non-residents. The park system currently plans to keep the surcharge in place through 2020 and will be discussing whether to extend it into 2021 in hopes of closing a $22 million budget shortfall.
It says maybe not so temporary...
like Toll roads now all stay temporarily.
Always a pleasure on your Life’s Adventures!
Stay Safe - Ride Safe!
When y’all get to the east definitely ride the tail of the dragon, fantastic experience!
Enjoy God’s Great Earth!
We will!
Thanks for introducing us to the maps. it will be a great resource for when we can start riding again, Cheers
That Map is super handy has all the cool roads in the NW.
I am jealous. It looks beautiful up there. I am sweltering away down here in Arizona. Great video.
I heard breaking records down there this year.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife Yep! Have not had our normal monsoon rains this year, and the fires are keeping the air smokey.
@@egalitarianvegan8806 same here in Cali
@@robertberin4872 Yea you are having some terrible fires.
Love the KYD hat
Thanks!! Do You follow them?
@@TwoWheelsBigLife yes for couple years now . My wife and I have been motorcycle travelers for many years but slowing down in my 70s doing more in the rv. Enjoy following you and kyd. Glad uou all are out there
Love the content, I would like to know what your using to communicate to each other and how you add it to the camera audio?
we use the Sena 10c Pro for our communication. Here's a link twowheelsbiglife.com/collections/gear/products/sena-10c-pro-communication-system-helmet-accessories-motorcycle-camera
Beautiful country, I got to get out and ride.need to stop putting it off.
#DOIT
@@TwoWheelsBigLife a little scary for me with what is going on in the world now a days. I will, I feel it coming on. My bike it's talking to me.
what happened to the trailer?
It was left at Camp. We usually have a base camp and go and explore from there. That’s what this ride was.
Great video,going to check the link to the maps,may have to get a dual purpose bike.
I KNOW !! 🤔🤔🤔
Where did you get your trailer?
The trailer is a Bushtec Roadstar I purchased used on Dallas TX. It is a fantastic trailer.
@@TwoWheelsBigLife I’m very interested in finding one did you get at a dealer or find it online? I’ve been looking on Craigslist with no luck!
They are hard to find. No dealer and yes it was Craig’s List we found ours.
👍👍🇳🇵
Volume is way low, at least here it is.
Interesting ?? I'll look into it. Thanks.

Have you two ever herd of scooter tramp scotty aka scotty kerekes. He has been living off of his motorcycle for something like 20 plus years. check his youtube channel out.
