Have you done the Paulina-Izzy highway between Prineville and John day? It's 380 out of Prineville and turns into 63 past Paulina. It connects with 395 about 10 miles south of John Day
@@Muddywatersist - I did it years ago, I have done out and backs part way up to the reservoir and back several times. I haven't done it since I started the channel though, maybe someday I'll get up there and film it.
I have to say, your editing is on point, audio is clear as a bell and the music choice was engaging. You're really killing it Dewey. Very, very enjoyable video and keep up the great content.
Thanks Eric. I'm really happy with how this one turned out, but I had lots of good footage to start with. That makes a big difference. Sometimes I am trying to edit around footage that didn't turn out all that well. This one I had a lot to work with.
This is one of my favorite rides, ever! I will go from Madras, to Antelope, to Fossil, over to Mitchell, then west over the Ochocos, down into Prineville! Or you can do it in reverse. Epic ride, awesome roads, with the one caveat: watch for patches of pea sized gravel, and pumice, especially around corners, which if you're going hot, can cause serious issues, especially in the early to late spring, until the road traffic has cleared off what ODOT's laid down over the winter. 2 years ago, ODOT laid down a 3-4" thick layer of pea sized gravel on the pavement, and it got me, with a bad get off, and a year recovery for my R1150RS, and I. I got the worst of it.
I've done this ride close to a hundred times over the last 27 years.... Probably more.... 7-8 times, just since that aforementioned bad "get off".
Thanks for sharing. Safe riding, brother! God bless.
I'm glad you are able to ride again. It can for sure, I am especially careful in sharp right handers, those get the worst of the gravel. Years when they have resealed it, also tend to have a bit more. Cheers, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
I like your adult playground lol... Curves, mountains, high elevation and blue sky...so many toys.
For sure. You would have a blast riding around that area. That is just one many good routes around there. Thanks for watching Tony!
love to see yall having fun! Us Fossil residents love to watch all the bikes come threw. Be careful though, any of our first responders will tell you about all the crashes. also Shaniko is pronounced Shan-uh-co, and Clarno Clar-no. My dad lived in Antelope, Oregon. He was 12 around the time the Rajneesh moved there. Lots of crazy stories. They certainly left an impact on the local folklore. I don't want to make this comment too long though, peace!
That must have been crazy to live there while all that was happening!
@@DeweyRides It was, they were almost entirely living off the land too. Trying to raise and hunt your food all while dealing with a cult.
Wow. I cannot wait to do this ride! Thanks for the video.
It's an awesome ride. It is so popular with riders in Oregon for a reason. I hope you enjoy.
Favorite part was when you said, "if you like corners..." and I was like nah 🤣! Wonderful video!! On my list now thanks.
Hahah. Well there are some people (and they are wrong) who don't like corners. Hahaha. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you go ride it. It is a great road.
@@DeweyRides those people should stick to the cages ha ha! Looked through a bunch more of your stuff! Wow! You’ve really done a lot of things on my lists!
@@chasingwhitelines - If I haven't done it, let me know, and I'll add it to my list.
Good thing you were paying attention...that car pulled right on out there...
Ya, they had no idea I was there, even when I waved them out, it took them a few minutes to even figure out I was waving them out. I stayed a long way away from them, they clearly were not aware of their surroundings.
What a fun road and a beautiful ride, Dewey! Thanks for sharing with us!!
It's a favorite. I've ridden it dozens of times, but I almost always route myself home through there, it never gets boring to ride.
Amazing route, stunning rock formations and scenery. What was with the car just stopping in front of you at the end, madness! 😲
Ya. It's a super fun area to ride in, there is a reason it is so popular with riders around here. And ya, that guy was paying zero attention. Glad I was.
Awesome route and ride! 😮😃👍 seems all of you guys on the left coast have such a choice of great twisty and scenic roads🤔 makes a Midwest guy jealous 😉👌 excellent video.
Pretty much anything west of the Rockies will have good stuff, and least close to good stuff. But, ya, I think we are pretty lucky with the amount of great riding we have. Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment, the comments always make my day.
Wow that's awesome and absolutely amazing place to see my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS brother🙏☝️😊❤️💯
It really is a motorcycle playground. Such a cool area. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is cool. I’ve never even heard of it. I’m going to put this ride on the list. Maybe I will try to tie it into a return trip from the IDBDR this year.
Coming back from the north end of IDBDR, it's easy to route through a ton of great roads and some awesome unpaved sections to get back to your area.
Now that’s on my list! I want do the fossil hike! I’ll need to figure out camping/lodging.
The hikes at Painted Hills are also fantastic. For lodging, Mitchell is best, though there is a motel on Spray. Lots of camping options though, camping out that way is always easy.
Great video. Nicely edited and entertaining.
Thanks for watching! I'm proud of how it turned out. It is nice to know when others enjoy it.
Videos like this make me wish I had an adventure bike. Thanks for sharing, Cheers Dave
That is a ride you could do on any bike. It's good pavement and a fun ride on anything. Thanks for watching !!
I ride this area all the time on my Harley.
Fantastic work mate. Thank you for continuing to show us this majestic region, and for the time and effort that you put into the great edits! ✌️
I appreciate that, I spent more time on this video than any other I have done. I spent so much time doing speed ramps. But, this one was about the road and the ride and I wanted to try to show a lot of it.
Geezus Dewey! Your videos are always a masterpiece
Thanks man. Really appreciate that. I am really proud of how this one turned out. It's not doing great with the stats right out of the gate, so it may not go far. But I am glad to get to share it with the people who do enjoy it.
Looks lovely!!
It is a pretty awesome ride, that is for sure. Thanks for watching!
Your iridium blue shield it was expensive but it definitely looks amazing ! Great investment brother !
Ya. I like a dark shield, and the options for Arai are pretty limited. I don't regret having it made and the finished product.
Thank you for filming my favorite roads!
Happy to. It is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it.
Great video amigo ! Excellent footages, soundtrack and editing. 🎉 ! A dandy like we say here in Canada.
Thanks! That means a lot!
Looking forward to riding eastern Oregon this year. Watched a great documentary on the Oregon BDR.
You won't be disappointed, either on or off-road. Tons of interesting riding. There is also the new OR BDR that is being released this spring. It's route and track should be better tracked and updated. I got turned around multiple times and had to re-route on the route 5 BDR parts that I did on the old route. Route 4 of the old route was open and easy to follow though.
Awesome, my buddy and I did the drop down into Mitchell to eat at the excellent brew pub and dinner. I run through Maupin for work when 26 is closed and got ride it this past summer up to The Dalles. Can't wait to try out the 218 this summer. I grew up in Madras and been having fun as a middle aged man riding my Tiger 900 with my buddy on his Tuerag around my old stomping grounds.
218 is a must ride. 207 from Mitchell , and then again from Spray to Hepner is also very good. 216 from Grass Valley is what we call the staircase, it is also a very good ride. Once you find yourself in that area there are so many fun roads. A Tiger 900 is perfect for riding around on those roads. You will have a blast exploring that area on a bike.
Tiger Town in Mitchell has some great food for being way the hell out there.
@@Muddywatersist good beer as well as camping in the public park half a block away.
Wow! Your video editing skills are going next level. I appreciate the effort you put into it. Love those roads and now I want to go back ( minus Killer Kows!)
Thanks Mike, and ya, that was one big cow!!
Dang man.. I don't know what was better . The actual road, scenery, or the editing. Crazy good all around.
Thanks man. I am really happy with how this one turned out. It is nice to know other people like it as well.
Love the editing, you’re killing it my friend!! Great scenery, great editing, and incredible roads! Just don’t forget us small channels when your subscriber count goes through the roof!!
Thanks. Though I won't be holding my breath on anything going through the roof. I certainly have proven that I have no idea how to grow fast on YT. Hahah.
@@DeweyRides when it happens it will catch you by surprise I’m sure, although I really have no clue, because it’s never happened to me!!!!
Dewey,
Another fantastic video!
Whatever you did with the editing, keep doing it!
The music and the moods match the ride and set the tone, they also hit perfectly on the cuts!
I love all the cool little edits you are doing as well on the ride and turns as well as your integration with the drone shots!
All of your effort really shows!
You'll be making Masterclasses soon!
Really Great job Dewey,
Cheers and safe riding!
Thanks. I really didn't do much different except the speed changes to link the corners. Well, and I had a lot of drone footage that helped. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was proud of how this turned out it is nice to know others like it as well.
Putting this on my list of places to ride 😎🤘🏼
There is also a ton of unpaved roads in that area. You could honestly spend a whole summer riding around there, and still have a list of stuff to do.
Excellent video!!❤
Thanks. It's a fun part of the state for sure.
Ok, how much will it cost me to rent a room at your place for a month? I’m going to need that much time for you to show me all these incredible rides you showcase!!! Holy Crap!! Beautiful!!!
Patrick. You are welcome at my place anytime, no charge at all, it would be my pleasure.
9:50 looks like 8 miles of pure motorcycle heaven right there!!! Love the drone shots of that section too!!!
It is as good a road as it gets. That 8 miles is brilliant. And you can see through the corners, so you can really corner and know what is ahead.
@@DeweyRides it looks amazing!!
Awesome Dewey!🤙🔥
Thanks! And thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Another great video mate
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my gosh! The travel through Time Walk sounds 🤩.. just one more reason to come back to Oregon 😁
It is pretty neat. The visitors center at the other unit is also neat, so are the painted hills. It is a fun area to spend time and, and go explore the different areas of the fossil beds.
@@DeweyRides I enjoyed the painted desert so I imagine the painted hills are nice too!
Very cool road Dewey. Awesome views and lots of turns, perfect!
It's a super fun ride. It is racetrack smooth, and all the corners you could want. I always enjoy riding out there.
@@DeweyRides And it seems to be very empty without traffic, is that so?
It is. There is no one out there. I rode for 3 hours and maybe saw 2 or 3 cars.
@@DeweyRides Nice!
Such a good video!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment.
Oh, I would love to hear Mike's version of the cow story LOL
Haha, ya, we learned that cows are way more athletic then they look, when they decide to be.
@@DeweyRides um, yessiree!! That's why our "I don't trust him bull" is going off to the auction....
What a great video Dewey!
Such great roads👍🏻
Dunno what it is about that part of Oregon but boy did I fall in love with it when I was there last year. I must go back and ride that 26!
It is an amazing area. So many amazing roads. It's to funny, that both of us posted our vids this week, that we both filmed in June. The start of my vid, you rode past the turn off for that road, about 15 miles from where you camped where 207 and 19 come together.
@@DeweyRides oh man! Wish I hadda known that, I would turned off for sure! And ya, looks like we’re both on the same editing schedule 🤣🤣
@@Crittermoto - Just another reason to head back and explore more of Oregon.
And wow! That car pulling out in front of you at the end! 😖
Ya, they had no idea I was there. Even when I waved them on so they would pull out, they sat there and didn't even know I was there. I let them get well along and down the road, before I went.
Are there any antelope in Antelope? A poisoned salad bar??? Oh my....
The story about the Rashneesh and that area is so strange and interesting. It is hard to believe it happened, and in that tiny town in the middle of nothing. The Netflix Doc on it is very good. It's called Wild Wild Country.
A big old Ford pickup truck huh LOL? 😁
Ya. Those narrow country roads, you got to be careful.
@@DeweyRides especially with there um Ford pick up trucks, lol
Missed most of your commentary......turned off irritating background noise
Sorry it wasn't your cup of tea, you can't please everyone. Hope you enjoyed the visuals at least.
Oregon definitely looks like a great state for riding. Maybe I'll get to visit someday 🤞
If you do the TAT, you will be out here. You could spend a month easily in that area. Tons of public land, dirt roads and wild camping. You boys would be in heaven.
@@DeweyRides maybe that trip will happen. I would love to spend a month in the west. Maybe I'll hit the lottery and I can take the rest of life off 😂
Hahah. That would sure make things easier. I would be that weirdo millionaire they would find living in a tent in the woods with a motorcycle.
@@DeweyRides lol. I'd be the same
