    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.

    Well Amanda it was so nice to meet ya last night and was a honor to carry your helmet for ya. Crashed the bike on the long route to chelan. 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.

  • @MeAndMyRoyalEnfield
    @MeAndMyRoyalEnfield Před rokem

    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.

    Watching this video, it fills me with so much joy. The amazing sceneries, the bike and the road, the relaxing music and the beautiful calmness that you are. It all gives such a relaxed vibe. Thank you.
    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 😅

  • @curtisrobinson4000
    @curtisrobinson4000 Před rokem

    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.❤️

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Oregon is absolutely the best coast to ride on in the west and this comes from someone raised in the SF Bay Area. Living in Grants Pass, our favorite part of the Oregon coast is from Brookings to Bandon. Lunch in Bandon is awesome. Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone

  • @happy2wander1

    @jasonshortphd Před rokem

    That is my favorite part of the PCH as well. It’s amazing and very peaceful.
    I live in Seattle. Riding town to the redwoods and back is my favorite week long ride. So very fortunate to have this coast so close.

  • @jefffaller8474
    @jefffaller8474 Před rokem +6

    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.

    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.

  • @BeGoneForGood

    @rudyv1972 Před rokem

    Born and raised in So Cal yet I completely agree, north of SF is the best riding roads. I'll be doing your route in reverse this summer, Portland to SF and back. Thanks for info on what to do.

  • @heritagehillsecurity8778

    Point Reyes to Cresent City is hard to beat in my opinion. I really like what you do. Thank you.

  • @elementallyessentialphotog122

    My favourite part of the PCH was always the northern section in California because of the big trees. That being said I haven’t had the chance to do the Oregon 101 and it’s now officially been added to my ‘roads I need to ride before I die’ list

    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.

    Absolutely Fantastic Video! Having ridden the Oregon Coast many times by car, and a few by motorcycle, at 1:50 I absolutely agree with your controversial opinion!. But, then, I'm an Oregonian too, and may be slightly biased. And for the End Screen question, I've known for many decades that Oregon is the best part of Pacific Coast Highway.
