I was so stoked to get the opportunity to show @spitescorner around one of the most beautiful places in my home state. Oregon BDR section 5 is one of my favorites because it has gorgeous scenery and challenging riding. Jake was in town for the BMW MOA Rally and had a rented 1200 GS to ride, so we (along with John and Grant from Flying Eyes) set out to tackle the ORBDR from Sisters to Big Lake with a stop at the Skylight Cave along the way.
I was continually impressed with Jake's ability to ride that BMW 1200 GS through technical and sandy terrain despite a complete lack of traction on the rear tire. In fact the only person who ended up sort of crashing was Grant when he got crossed up on a slippery hill climb.
Riding through Central Oregon on adventure bikes like my KTM 790 Adventure is always a blast, and not even some unexpected rainy and even snowy weather near Hoodoo could dissuade us from what turned out to be an amazing motorcycle adventure.
