23:05 , those are the best riding days man. So therapeutic, and you just slow down and almost meditate while riding slowly. So healthy for the mind, especially cause of COVID. I can't WAIT to get out there man, come on Spring!
I just bought a new G310GS - a 60th birthday present to myself. It's 2:30 AM and I'm waiting in the car in torrential rain waiting for the shipper who is delivering it from the dealer 500 miles away. I can't wait to do some solo motorcycle adventure camping.
@@nspinicelli - Thanks for the encouragement. I rode a dual sport in the mid 70s as a teenager, had a DR350 that I mostly used as an urban assault commuter bike in my late 30s, and I'm now a "mature returning rider." (Blech)
@@Liberty4Ever I love it. We're in a golden age of motorcycles and tires, it's a great time to get back into it. Don't be afraid to get dirt on that thing!
A lot of this scenery brings back childhood memories. Spent a few summers at Diamond Valley Lake. Another beautiful part of Oregon. Gosh miss it so much. Thanks for bringing us along 😊
I find that some of my best rides are when I'm by myself. Just putting down an old road deep in thought taking it all in. Take a few photos, etc. There is no better therapy than a man and his motorcycle and no planned destination. Just see where the road takes you . . .
I get it man I get it. I have done both and want to do it again in the worst way. But when ur in that tent at 3am and it’s pitch black and cold. Then u hear some bigass creature right outside your tent. You won’t want to be anywhere else than your bed at home.
I seen a black bear on my holidays. I seen him come through the ditch. I started to slow down and as he crested the bank he turned instantly back towards the bush. Just like a black ball, rolling through and was gone.😆 Near a town called Commanda in mid Ontario. A Commanda Panda😎
I mainly camp solo. This year I bought a Garmin Inreach after I had a nasty fall and realized if I ever crash and have life threatening injuries I'm done for out there.
Your out in the pdx area 😁 I'm on the east side of Mount hood along the Columbia, just got a new bike and can't wait to go moto camping this spring/summer
Salut Oregon Motorcycle, j'ai installé dernièrement des crashbars de marque givi, sur ma cb 500 X de 2019. Merci pour tes vidéos, avec de magnifiques paysages. Mes amitiés de Bretagne.
Try and use always second gear and when you move quicker try third.pull away in second gear to it's more comfortable, and put all of your weight on the peg's so stand on them slightly for better control off road- ing.
ohhh man soon as i seen moto camping that caught my attention fast !!!! trying to find someone here i can go with to do the same ...commenting as i watch but instantly liked before lol ....i knew it be good lol ty from 🇨🇦
Legend has it the Sasquatch of Diamond Lake are still riding Joes V Strom around lost somewhere south of the lake! Please report them to the authorities if spotted❗️ Ha ha 🤣. All jokes aside, Joe is fine and of course he told me he was leaving.
Love your videos man, I literally just bought a 2020 Honda CB500X Red. Will be ready to pick it up the 25th. Cant wait. And alot of my decisions to choose this bike is from your reviews. So Honda should get you some free accessories. hehe Thanks again and keep m comin!
Motorcycle trip like this lot problem can happen anytime even you think you know someone very well but when trip start ride a moment when we tired or problem coming you will see all how they are.Thank you show how you pack chair I will try put that for next trip.
Cool video...I'm from Colorado and picked up my kid in LA. last month. We drove up the 1 and 101 all the way to Seattle. Went through the small towns and checked other towns where I might like to live. I like the Astoria area, do you know if there are good riding for motorcycles and dirt bike around there? Could you suggest any towns that would be kinda close to the ocean? I do a lot of thinking and looking back when I ride as well. I do it to get away from the fast paced life we live in town. I bought a Africa Twin and love that I can almost go anywhere with it.
Dan Braden, hwy 53 between Nehalem Bay and Necanicum (Hwy 26) is one of my favorite rides in that area. Also 202 between Jewell and Astoria. Fort Steven's State Park has a nice campground as does Nehalem Bay State Park. Manzanita, Cannon Beach, Seaside and Astoria are all nice places to visit. They all can be a bit touristy and the camp grounds are pretty good size and busy through the summer, so if you're trying to get away from people you'll want to take that into consideration. The routes mentioned are paved but low traffic when I've ridden them though.
FYI you were on the N. Umpqua river. Only reason that it matters is that there is a North, South, and the Umpqua that heads out to the ocean. Looks like a great trip!
Oregon Motorcycle I grew up in Glide. I love that area. Need to get my bike on that road to Diamond and Crater. It’s a beautiful trip. You should add some of the falls to your stops next time you are through.
Not really familiar with these parts but, I did camp south of Madres at an OHV park. There were some cool trails there. There's also China Hat which I heard is awesome.
Greetings from Thailand... I just discovered your work, I have a CB 500X 2019 and I am getting ready for my first long trip, from Southern Thailand to Malaysia, KL Petronas Towers.. Since I am on the blacktop primarily in your opinion is an under Engine skid guard necessary?
loved the music at the start.. expected to see the pale rider come out of the bush on his horse. Your buddy must have been missing his own bed. I get the slow ride , deep in thought thing. keep it up Oregon mc.
That is a given. It's happened to me a few times with buddies letting me down. I put it down to being my own fault for choosing the wrong people to go adventuring with. If it were a movie my buddies would be the first to get eaten by a dinosaur,,,
Hello Oregon! Watching you from Portugal :) I'm enjoying a lot your adventure videos! I didn't quite understand which is the model of your side bags! Can you write it please? Thanks :)
Well blokes & squealers, next Tuesday Moto Camping, as you call it, here in West Australia. Will be doing around 2000 kms in 4 days just me and the cb500x. Love the adventure, gonna visit my new 9 month granddaughter who I've only seen once, thanks to the CCP Wu Flu. As a matter of interest what setting did you put your rear shock on Oregon Moto with your pack? Thanks mate. Edit, SRC Moto do a little tail rack that helps with my load. Think they're Oregon based?
Hi mate, firs time viewer, enjoyed the video! I'm wondering if you could provide any insight into your audio/microphone setup in the helmet. My mic just picks up an unbelievable amount of wind noise, completely distorting and blowing out everything else, including my speech. Comparing to your video, you have little to no wind noise. I've tried a variety of different microphone placements within my helmet, and a number of different things to try to reduce the microphone picking up the wind (foam around the mic, plus a big fur ball, having the microphone point in different directions [away from my mouth, away from the front of the helmet, completely tucked behind a cheek pad, and more], etc.). I have a chin skirt on the helmet too. As you mentioned in the video, I don't believe it is my mic, so I've resisted ordering a different one. In case it helps, I have the PowerDeWise lavalier microphone, recording wired directly into my iPhone, usually recording with the built in Voice Memo app, or a similar audio recording app. I've tried on a couple different bikes, so I don't think it is the way the wind is flowing around one particular bike and into my helmet - I'm wondering if perhaps my helmet happens to have airflow in a way that gets to the mic, but I doubt that is it either (it's a good quality Arai helmet which is quite quiet when it comes to wind noise). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cracking video however I did expect Clint Eastwood to make a special guest appearance, love the music :) Subscribed. So what did happen to your friend?
Planning my first solo MC camping trip ‘ tour. I think I have all of the necessities, but feel like I’m missing something. Regardless, I’m heading out very soon. I’m almost 50, and it is time. Whether I return to civilization or not is another question.
and secondly it wasnt a fail ...because you went ahead and made the best outa the situation have a talk to your buddy see what bothered him ...and maybe see of ya can try again at a spot say were no danger of animals but woodsy so he can get used to it ...in life were not the same and its a good thing because it be a boring world if we were ...thats what friends are for to work through the good and not so good times !!!

Love how you woke up and Joe was just gone!
I really need him to explain why his buddy is just gone lol wth.
The best adventures are the ones where plans are thrown out the window. That's what true freedom is!
Loving the videos dude. Can't wait for some better weather in UK and making some memories myself. Keep living the good life buddy.
Wow..first time that guy ever picked up his bike. Lol Enjoy!
I am really uber jealous of everything west coast when it comes to roads and camping. Great video mate.
Thank you!

Never rode a motorcycle and never been camping but I wanna do both.. together lol. Great video!!! 💙

Wow amazing.. nice moto camping n great adventure..
Warm regards from Indonesia
This is a classic. Excellent adventure. I think it was after watching this video I subscribed to the channel about a year ago. Well done!
Hey thanks!
Dispersed camping? Never ever heard someone call it that. In Australia we just call it Bush camping!
Great video man! Moto camping is a blast. I used to do it back when I had bikes.
This is why I love living in Central Oregon The riding is endless. ""RIDE ON"" See Ya Out There .
👊🏍💥👊
the intro (first 2 minutes) very nicely done! the music, short video clips and showing the map..nice touch!
Thank you.
I picked up a guitar and played along. Didn't think about doing that, it just happened. Great intro!

Ha ha. Crazy.
good stuff man, I'm across the water in SW WA. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
Mate this is a great video. I'm from the UK and you show off your bike and the scenery PERFECTLY. Wish I was there lol. Great video.
That gas station ⛽ had alot of empty shelves must have been the bear 🐻 and wolves 😄
Yes, V-Stroms are heavy to pick up. Personal experience.
I love camping by my self once in a while, some people just are to chicken to sleep in the forest.
I mainly camp solo. This year I bought a Garmin Inreach after I had a nasty fall and realized if I ever crash and have life threatening injuries I'm done for out there.
Nice ride! Thanks for sharing and keep them coming
You might pack a portable electric fence for bear country. A compact 2.4 lbs for huge peace of mind
GREAT video! Love your positive attitude! Well done man!!
Hey there fella. Just subscribed here, am a Welsh fellow motorcycle rider, known to camp here and there! Along for the ride! Lovely!
Your out in the pdx area 😁 I'm on the east side of Mount hood along the Columbia, just got a new bike and can't wait to go moto camping this spring/summer
Awesome
Congrats! 🎉
I’m in Eugene and just got a CB500x. This looks like a great ride. Thanks for sharing. I want to do this 🙂
Beautiful scenery and nature are wonderful！！
You may not realise, so I'm letting you know that your videos have a reach in more ways than one. Quality!
I did that trip back in 2015. It was alot of fun diamond lake was a good stop. Crater lake is crazy.
New subscriber...love your frankness....great video...looking forward to viewing your past videos.
Thanks!
I liked the video, soon I will make my first motorcycle camp too 🏍️🌎🇧🇷
Pretty cool video for me because I have both those bikes. I prefer the Vstrom for everything.

Solo is the only way to go!

Looks like you had a great time! I have't been able to go camping in almost 2 months...HAVING WITHDRAWLS!!! Glad you could go out!
I get to go again weekend after next !! Thanks for the adventure .
Awesome. Thank you!
Loosing a companion without a comment? Unbelievable
Bears haha 😂

Whats disperse camping? Like free camping? No designated spots? Thanks! Greetings from Alberta Canada
Why did your buddy bail out?
Dispersed camping isn’t for everyone.
Samsquatch on a vstrom, yee haw.
Great Adventure ☺️ That's what it's all about.
Headed to Sisters from Alabama for the month of May. Will be in my RV with my tw200. Any suggestions for off road rides?
Not really familiar with these parts but, I did camp south of Madres at an OHV park. There were some cool trails there. There's also China Hat which I heard is awesome.
Mosquitos and flies can make you go crazy enough to leave like that.

Thank you;)
U know, i just fell for this machine, idk y, waiting for the launch in india ❤️
awesome view and nice content, keep it up good job, love from Malaysia
That would be buddies last ride with me if he didn't at least say he was leaving

Should have explained why your buddy left.
7:52
US ARMY
I'm curious, are you native to Oregon? I usually only hear "the 5" from people out of state.
From California. ;)
Makes sense! You should hike up Thielsen next time you're down at Diamond Lake 👍
Turns out Oregon people are A-holes. If you don't park the way they want. They will leave a note on your bike!
Ol mate ghosted ya 😂
🤣
Great ADV trip and very well done video ! The only part that I couldn't understand was why friend can leave hid friend amone !!!!
Greaaaaat vidéo. Do you ride in all those gravel rides with the abs or you had take off the abs fuse?
Thank you. I ride with the abs on all the time.
I don't think your buddy was diggin the dirt roads...
How your boy leave you like that man???

Oregon Motorcycle what a shame, to be honest when he dropped it on the trail he might have lost a bit of confidence
Cool vid man.
Thanks!
Planning my first solo MC camping trip ‘ tour. I think I have all of the necessities, but feel like I’m missing something.
Regardless, I’m heading out very soon. I’m almost 50, and it is time.
Whether I return to civilization or not is another question.
Ok, come on man. At least explain what happened to your buddy. I mean WTF. Did he at least tell you that he was leaving & why ???
Hey nice vid!! how to you manage your animated map? Do you have a plugin?
It’s called Relive.
Sir i love with your content
😊🙏😊
Why hide ur pack n not just put it in ur tent?
You need better pals Joe leaving like that is not very good form
Yeah, what happened to Joe? Bear?, sasquatch?, fire ants?, alien abduction?
🤔 👽 🤷♂️
He didn't like being spooned.
What's the GPS tracking app you use in the video?
Relive.
I will not camp or even go into the woods in bear country without a fully loaded pistol - and I mean a "hand cannon" too. PERIOD. 44 Magnum or bigger.
We were both prepared😎
and secondly it wasnt a fail ...because you went ahead and made the best outa the situation have a talk to your buddy see what bothered him ...and maybe see of ya can try again at a spot say were no danger of animals but woodsy so he can get used to it ...in life were not the same and its a good thing because it be a boring world if we were ...thats what friends are for to work through the good and not so good times !!!
Exactly. There will be more trips to come;)
Very strange move to leave you alone without any explanation. I would not go next time with such a person anywhere.
How do you know which roads you can go on and where to find dispersed camping?
This is National Forest. Pretty much camp anywhere except if it’s posted not to.
Osm ❤️ trip stay blessed 👍❤️
I think I would have a bit of a problem if I woke up and my buddy was just gone. To not say anything and just go?
No he told me he was leaving. ;)
@@OregonMotorcycle Ok, I was gonna say...
Y'all don't carry backup fuel?
Naa.
Oregon doesn’t really throttle the CB againts that KTM
Bro how much is getting you fuel economy of your bike?
Around 60-65 mpg.
anyone know the song from the start?
You must be a heavy snorer !
