    Here is a head start for that next journey and thank you for showing all that care to pay attention that there is a beautiful world out there waiting to be experienced. I have around much of the world and you are right, the Oregon Coast is amongst the most beautiful there is to see. So much so that we are retiring from WA down to Southern Oregon in the next few years. Safe travels!

    I just completed this route for the first time motorcycling, on a GS, during a fall storm... Glimpses of amazing beauty, through the fog and rain, as 20' swells hit the rocks... infilled with the sheer terror of only seeing 40' ahead on the tarmac. Choose the dates for this ride wisely

    My husband and I used to travel down from BC, Canada down the coastal highway all the way to Southern Oregon every year, camped in the yurts, and explored the dunes on ATV. I was most looking forward to this section as it brought back so many memories. The Oregon Coast IS the most beautiful to drive and ride down.

    We know you had tough weather for much of this trip as the West Coast was hammered with precipitation which made tough riding for you but filled our depleted reservoirs to brimming up and down the state of CA. There are scores of us who would trade places with you but are self-limited by work demands so live vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for sharing.

    Another great piece of moto photo journalism, thank you. As a fellow PNW rider, I was amazed by your aerial shots, so professional. I don't think your statement about the best part of the PCH is controversial at all, (1:45) it's just a fact. I moved a 1000 miles south, from PDX, for 4 years back in 2013 and most scenic drives in SoCal are not what you expect: too much traffic, too many people in a hurry, and too many hazards to truly enjoy the drive with Malibu being a shining example of disappointment. The route from SF north truly is where the gold is. I hope to ride the Oregon Coast and enjoy some moto-camping this Summer.

    It's because of people like you and ItchyBoots that last year on my 54th birthday, i decided to lose weight and get my license. Soon it'll be my birthday again. I already dropped 33kgs, am having weekly motorcycle lessons and am eying that cb500x in the showroom 😅

Went over a 50ft embankment and went over the handlebars. No broken bones, bike is cosmetically damaged. But still ridable. Love how ya clowned dork in the road last night, all in good fun. Have a safe trip outta touratech tommorow. Glad to have met ya😀

    I've lived in Southern California my whole life. I rode south from the top of Oregon on PCH a couple summers ago. This spring, I drove southbound on PCH from the top of Washington State and can proudly say I've travelled the entire length of PCH. Without question, the best part of the route is the entire length of Oregon to the southern end of the Avenue of the Giants. Thanks for taking me along with you to relive the route.

    End Screen Crew: YES! I use to fly for a living and a few times a year would fly people from Scottsdale AZ to Coos Bay. One of my favorite trips and you just made me homesick for it. You also "almost" made me want to start cooking instead of popping the top on the Beefaroni. Lovely video, and perfect music. If I grow up I want to make videos just like you. I love when I find those campgrounds that are so me that I stay extra just to stay in the moment longer.

  • @arideinthecountry

    I've ridden my bike from S. Alabama to the Pacific North West twice. With out a dout if I moved somewhere else. The Oregon coast is it. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE! If you are ever in Hoquiam, Washington stop at the 8th Street Ale House and order the FARMERS HAMBURGER. Best HAMBURGER I've ever eaten.

    With a bit of encouragement from your videos, I bought a beautiful yamaha cruiser, strapped it down for bear and headed out on up the pacific coast highway starting at the Golden gate, up through Oregon, Washington, to Mt Rainier and rode the cascade mountain range all the way back down to California. Took me 3.5 weeks and 2,878 miles.
    Absolutely loved every moment!
    That was late 2020.
    Since then, I've moved to Oregon and settled into this beautiful state. I'm planning my next ride to Yellowstone soon.
    Thank you for the encouragement to get out and do the thing. It changed my life.❤️

  • @davidchapman93

    Having family in Mendocino and Ukiah area, I'll definitely agree with you that north of the Golden Gate Bridge is the best area. There are so many hidden gem roads, dirt tracks, and other amazing sights to see. Easy to get lost for a week just poking around and camping where your moto takes you.

    Only time I've been to the left...erm.. west coast, was year 2000 (pre TSA, also last time I've flown). Wasn't on a motorcycle but in a rental minivan with my folks. Drove out of SF across the GG bridge. We didn't cut to the coast until Willits and then out to Fort Bragg. There's a fantastic botanical gardens there and highly recommended. Pacific was very windy that time and waves were spectacular to watch and listen to crashing in. Drove north through the Avenue of the Giants and eventually Eureka. East bound to Redding and south a spell to an uncle's house. Haven't been to Oregon but the NorCal coast and landscape was fantastic.

    Thank you for putting these beautiful videos up for everyone to see!! I saw the Oregon Coast for the first time in June of 1983 when I drove the PCH down to SF. Since then I have always said that the Oregon coast is the most beautiful place I have been in North America. It is even more stunning on a foggy day. I have been in all the lower 48 and most of the Canadian Provinces and I still say the Oregon Coast is the most beautiful place to go. A close 2nd, for me, is Glacier Nation Park, but you have to hike in a way to get away from the road and tourists.

    Thanks for another great trip! It's always a little sad when an adventure has to come to an end--especially when it's a bit premature. Hopefully, you'll be able to get back to the rest of the Oregon and Washington soon, and go back to California to see the parts of Big Sur that you missed due to these unfortunately timed atmospheric rivers. I'm always looking forward to your next big trip.
    I've definitely had a full PCH trip on my bucket list for a while now. I recently completed the entire California portion last December, barely avoiding the closures. I don't recommend winter coastal travel through Northern California, because there was a noticeable amount of ice on the road when I went through the redwoods and back down to the coast. Also, it was freezing cold for a lot of it, and my wife couldn't really stay warm on her CB500X even with many layers. My heated gloves couldn't really keep up, but I'm sure I was more comfortable than she was. I barely went into Oregon, just to the sign for the Instagram photo, but I really want to travel again and complete Oregon and Washington once I can find the time. I also want to take a bit longer to enjoy sections of it, but it's two or three days to get to northern California from Arizona and so I'm probably going to be in a rush anyways.

    Looking forward to a future series of the PCH! Having experienced 101 from Rockaway Beach up to some section of Washington before making my way back to the main roads again for our hotel, it was a lovely drive and gorgeous to take in.
    Haystack Rock is a nice way to end the views.

  • @SewGurl58

    Oh it so is. Flew to Portland and drove down to Coos Bay to visit a friend who had moved from WI. I knew it might be my only chance to see the PCH, and the whole way down all I could say was, man this would be a great motorcycle road. The whole time my travel mate who is terrified of driving in unfamiliar areas had a death grip on the armrest.

  • @rudyv1972

  • @MichaelKitchen-ol1ss
    @MichaelKitchen-ol1ss Год назад

    A better choice of traveling the coast is to go north to south. Most all the sights you would be stopping at are on the west side of the highway and being southbound makes it much easier to stop and enjoy them. Many folks will pass on stopping somewhere if it is hard to make a right turn with lots of oncoming traffic.
