  • I took the long way home and stopped in Tillamook, Oregon. I made a couple of friends and they showed me a bit of the area. Some of the trails were pretty intense, and I'd like to go back sometime soon!

    You know those drop offs are steep when you can see it on the gopro! Nice job handling that beast of a bike.

    Haha you're crazy riding that big bike out there! BTW the 'mook' in Tillamook is pronounced like 'book'.

      Hello, I am from from Tillamook. The Tillamook Indians pronounced it mook. It means land of many waters in their language. I don't think I have ever heard someone from here pronounce it muk my entire life lol.

    the “ook” in Tillamook rhymes with “cook”, not “fluke”.
    Also it’s not in Central Oregon, it’s Western Oregon, close to the Pacific coast ✌️

    Woohoo! that was quite a feat for such a big bike, color me impressed, once you hit odins trail i knew exactly where you were. to be fair those trails they took you on were on the milder side for diamond mill 😂 ive done some GNARLY stuff over there and will make your heart skip a beat or 3 if you ever decide to come back i would recommend browns camp/rogers camp just up the highway for some more tame and flowy trails

    Algorithm sent me - there are thousands of miles of trails in Oregon.
    Try Nicolai OHV park (Clatsop State Forest but they're adjacent), it's usually less populated than Brown's or Lee's Camp and it's got its own brand of hairiness (watch out for spur roads abruptly ending in 150ft drop offs).
    If you start to see gravel the size of grapefruits, start thinking another path if you're on a motorcycle - if you see the entire road turn into it, that's hardcore construction gravel for massive trucks and it's going to deliver you some punishment in a hurry.
    Trolling through the forest and jungle is like driving on carpet or lawn when you get a clear line for once lol
    thanks for making the video! bring more cool people!

    Good technique on a large bike in tight single track. You must have a longer inseam than myself. I would have trouble doing that on the KLR.
