My First BDR! Riding Over The Coast Range and Motorcycle Camping: Oregon BDR Route 6, Day 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2024
- My first full-length (unofficial) Backcountry Discovery Route adventure was an amazing one! Two friends and I set out to tackle Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route 6, which runs from Coos Bay/Reedsport Oregon all the way over the Oregon Coast Range and the Oregon Cascades to Crescent Lake, Oregon. OBDR Route 6 is short enough to do in a few days, and that's exactly what we set out to do on this trip.
Here on day 1, we meet up as a group and head out from my house in Albany, Oregon down the freeway, through Drain and Elkton, Oregon, and finally to the start (technically the end) of Oregon Back Country Discovery Route 6 just south of Reedsport, Oregon. From there, we headed up into the wilderness and through the Elliot State Forest, before settling down at a convenient logging landing for an evening of motorcycle camping, dinner, campfire, beverages and a Mr. Puff Puff.
Multi-day motocamping trips like this are amazing, especially when you get to explore awesome areas like the OBDR route 6 with good friends. Thanks for watching this ADV riding and moto camping adventure!

Cool first episode!
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Sure hope Beards was sleeping down wind of you guys….frank-n-beans are deadly!! 😜👍🏻
When I found your videos last year, I bought a CRF250L Rally. Then I saw your moto camping videos and the lightbulb went on and I said, "Oh my God, that is what is missing in my life!" I did some camping with the Rally, but this year I bought an Africa Twin. Thank you for sharing your journey! It pushed me to start my own adventures.
My go-to camp supper has been a package of Lipton "Extra Noodle" chicken soup with a pouch of the StarKist chicken breast. I got a case (12) of them through Amazon and they are the perfect Jetboil meal. The pouches keep well and don't take up much space.
And Beards...last time I camped it dipped below freezing overnight and I had heated up two small cans of Beanee Weenee over the campfire. Lets just say that my sleeping bag stayed pretty warm that night...
Very cool, man! So glad you're out there having awesome adventures
I'm from Oregon and before I moved to Texas I about 3 times a year take this route to visit family and friends that live in Coos Bay and Coquille. Miss it so much.
I don't doubt that, Texas is a terrible State for dualsports/adventure bikes. No decent public land and the geography is boring.
Whether it's called the BCDR or BDR, that is some beautiful riding, so far. Locals must feel like there's no else on the road so they assume it's all for them. Really appreciate your more-distant campsite panorama shots as it helps put the site and ambience in context. Carry on!
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed how you included the entire day’s itinerary- camp steps - etcetera - makes one feel like they were along for the ride - a nice vicarious road trip for those of us who are still doing the 8-5 days. The “Which bike are you riding” comments cracked me up but I did have the same question, which of course you answered. Curious about how long it takes you to edit your videos - seems like a cool way to spend your work life - glad you were able to make it work!
It took me a few minutes to figure out that I did not make this comment lol
Great tips thank you so much for taking the time to do all your videos I'm slowly working my way through them. Back on a bike after 30 years, love the outdoors, your videos have been so helpful safe riding from London UK, PS Sub added thanks
Water Hole: Definition: Mosquito breeding compound! Don't go in July! ... great video !!
Squatch! shows up for the bushcraft fire starting...Tell Beards I saw him!
Hey man followed your channel . And finally got a dual sport , you were a big help thank you ride safe
Very cool!
As always enjoyed watching thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Ben, keeping me sane in the winter.
When it’s cold and wet, nothing beats wool, so long as you’re not allergic.
Glad to find out what BDR stands for... and glad it is NOT for...Back Door Reaming....thanks for the video I liked it!
Glad you won't have to change the name to "Dork in the Butt" it's ALL Good!
Can't wait to do some BDR! Oregon's gotta be great! Planning Big Bend next April. I'm psyched already 😊
Im trying to plan a Big Bend TX dualsport trip. Never been to that area before
There is a more fun way to get to Reedsport from Eugene/I5: Crow-Alma-Oxbow Road- Smith River Rd. If you aren't pressed for time. You can make it more "adventurous" by heading to Walton then south at Whittaker Creek, you can ride over Roman Nose, hit up Kentucky Falls, then head on to Reedsport.
Guys being dudes. Love to see it!
I ran route 6 in the summer of 2020 just a couple weeks before the horrific fires that broke out on Labor day. For me personally, route 6 was a blast. Rode from Crescent Lake over to the coast then spent a couple days riding around the southern Oregon coast before returning to central Oregon on route 6. Even though the return trip was on the same route it was a totally different experience. Glad you were able to get out and make the trip!
Cool you managed to get in before the fires.
Awesome, good for you guys!
We had a blast
Looks like so much fun!
I remember my first Oregon BDR in 2011.
You're gonna get hooked now, there's nothing like 3-4 days of riding and camping.
The rest of the world just disappears!
Great vid Dork! Haha my quick moto meal is Spanish rice, pouch chicken, and (flaming hot)Fritos if I'm lucky haha! Not all to different from your meal, but still better than a dehydrated pouch!
Sounds delicious
Great 1st episode Dork. Ride safe, from the uk
I lived in Albany in 2 different houses. The first was by the railroad tracks by the municipal pool. The second was on the other side of the river out past the schools. This was back in the early 60s.
Awesome ! A++
Just realized I wasn’t subscribed…watched half your videos without being subscribed haha
I have hunted all over the starting area from the coos bay area to cottage Grove beautiful area miss living there
Thank god I’ve got you as my internet riding buddy dork!! I’ve got no real friends or people to ride with :(
I'm here for you, pal!
They use those water holes for fire fighting also
So happy to go along with you on this. I am about to find out if I am financible on SSDI for a KLR I will be surprised to get a yes. At any rate I will save up for a while or I will be able to finance I am not in a hurry it is after all Winter ish in Oregon lol
Good luck!
@@DorkintheRoad Thank you sir
⭕️ get wood matches for the cigar... please... the taste is way better
“Let me put some more miles on the AT before I sell it” 😂
What a scenic ride! Love the Bigfoot figure you have at camp. The plus side to doing October is you can have a campfire now that the fire bans are lifted here int he NW. Great video, cheers!
Thanks for watching. The Bigfoot belongs to Beards and he has his own Instagram
@@DorkintheRoad Nice! I'll have to be sure to check in out on Insta.
His name is Henry Squatchelhoff
@@DorkintheRoad Awesome, thank you. Found him and also added you too :)
This is all I wanna do but I’m like 6 hours from a curvy road lol. Or a trail. Real talk.
Hi! Great vid. I was curious what camera setup were you using and what settings? Looks very crisp and bright.
th-cam.com/video/oci_YRTQn_k/w-d-xo.html
Love the content. Be careful cooking chicken and what not right next to where you sleep. I'm sure you're in bear country.
Honestly I've never seen one anywhere in the state, but I know they're out there. We have far more trouble with Racoons and birds, to be honest.
@@DorkintheRoad racoons are more than enough trouble.
Was this trip on your new KLR?
Africa Twin
Were you riding your Africa Twin on this trip? I may be behind your current bike situation but thought you had sold the AT and now had a new '22 KLR?
This was three days after I bought the KLR and I didn't have time to get it set up for this trip.
How the heck do you carry a table ? I’m setting up to do my first solo Moto camping and a table is something I just can’t figure a way to take.
th-cam.com/video/gGN99P4n2Nc/w-d-xo.html
Highly recommend the one in that video
I wouldn't cook soup in my jetboil (if I had one) - just use it to boil water. Cleaning all those deposits would suck and make every cup of coffee task like salt and chicken.
I was worried about that but it didn't seem to affect it the rest of the trip
What bike are you riding Dork? Nice people drive a Honda
This was the last trip on my Africa Twin
Would love to know how you recorded everyone’s conversations during the ride. Individual recorders for everyone? Aux from comms?
One mic in the helmet near the speaker.
@@DorkintheRoad Brilliant! Thank you.
Very nice! Where did you download GPS Tracks?
OBDR Riders group on Facebook is the best resource for these routes. The official website and organization aren't as helpful.
At? Where is the KLR?
This was 3 days after I got it and I didn't have time to get it set up before I left
You didn't say how the new bike is treating you on this trip other than slippery roadways.
....maybe because this was the old bike? 😂
So how did the Versys go?
it went faster than me the whole trip
Terrain looked pretty boring. Hoping route 3 is better. Just paid 36 bucks for maps
You need to watch part 3
I wonder if the water hole is for fire fighting. Couldn't find any info googling.
We almost never have fires in the coast range. I'm 90% sure it's an erosion/flood control thing of some kind.
::uses bushcraft fire stick and spark stick to start fire:: 38 seconds later ::uses torch to light puff puff:: .. someone is just flexing ..
I just like playing with firesteel. And it's hard to light a cigar with one
