Logging Roads, Waterfalls, and Snow: Honda Africa Twin Off Road Exploring Near Mary's Peak, Oregon

  • Come along on a Honda Africa Twin off road exploring adventure to the tallest mountain in Oregon's Coast Range: Mary's Peak. The surrounding area offers miles of logging roads to explore, which are just perfect for a Honda Africa Twin adventure ride. In this video, we attempt to get to the viewpoint at the top of the mountain, only to discover it's been closed off like many other public areas due to recent events. Fortunately, we were able to explore some nearby logging roads and find a couple waterfalls, some interesting spur roads, snow, some puddles to splash through, and an interesting muddy side road that eventually dead ended so we had to turn around.
    Exploring forest roads on my adventure motorcycle is one of my favorite activities. This Honda Africa Twin adventure was a great way to spend the day getting out and exploring the forest.

    Being somewhat of a loner, the stay away orders dont bother me to much, took off work for two weeks.
    1. Wake up
    2. Drink coffee, watch youtube
    3. Ride one of two bikes
    4. Watch movie
    5. Day/night drinking
    Wash repeat🤙🥃

    I started riding that road from the Harlan side a few weeks ago, got spooked by the mud and turned back. I'm just not comfortable taking 500 pounds of bike over slippery mud. You seem to deal with it pretty well on the Twin.

    I miss the valley in the spring. Are they opening any of the coastal fishing or is it no fun allowed for all state outdoor recreation like here in Washington?

    • @DorkintheRoad
      @DorkintheRoad  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most outdoor recreation is still allowed, at least in terms of COVID closures. I'm not sure what the fisheries are doing as far as normal restrictions.

Today we had 26°C in the sun so i just couldn´t help myself but to get on the bike. You have the more interesting roads though :o)
