ABOUT OUR ADVENTURES...

Come ride Oregon’s “old west” backcountry one of our multi-day off-road motorcycle tours! Our tours are inspired by early “ridings” on the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route and each is designed to experience a unique portion of this beautiful area we live in.

The wide variety of trails and dirt roads are suitable for the intermediate rider, from the wide open high desert to heavily treed forests. Daily riding distance is typically between 125 and 150 miles per day depending on the terrain and distance between lodging.

Our tours are fully supported and all-inclusive: we provide the tour, meals, lodging, lead and sweep riders, a support vehicle to carry your gear, a t-shirt, and a framed picture and DVD video of the tour to capture the experience. You bring a well prepared off-road capable motorcycle (or rent one from us).  

Come ride great terrain, see incredible sights, meet new and interesting people and enjoy an off-road adventure of your life!

Ride & Raft Tour

Late last year at a Chamber of Commerce meeting we met the neat folks from the Imperial Lodge in Maupin and brainstormed the idea of an off-road motorcycle trip surrounding a guided raft trip on the Deschutes River.  We are excited to offer this unique adventure experience this year!

We will ride a route of approximately 125 miles from Prineville to Maupin and back on service and dirt roads and over private lands thanks to permission granted from local ranchers.

We will stay at the Imperial Lodge and enjoy an all day 18 mile guided raft trip on the spectacular Deschutes River.  Don't miss this epic adventure!  Tour price: $745.

2010 Tour Dates:
September 24 - 26
