Smile California & Oregon Road Trip! Part One

This is the first of our California and Oregon Ride series. On this trip, we rode up the California and Oregon coast, then headed inland and circled south through central Oregon to home. It was a great two weeks on the road, about 2800 miles all in. Beautiful scenery, crazy fun motorcycle riding country, from warm and sunny to cold and icy and back to warm/hot. There is nothing like a road trip on a bike.

If you like these, please subscribe to our channel. We have a lot more content in the works, and having subscribers helps us out a bunch. Also, feel free to make suggestions, let us know what you think, etc., in the comments, which also helps us make these better.

Good times. Enjoy!

Some of my favorite rides are in Northern, CA, especially love the Avenue of the Giants and Mendocino. Also Patterson's is a great place for dinner.

It's well worth the ride; you will get better weather in July and August than we had in June. Beautiful countryside.
