Buddy and I just took this one today 6/1/14. Went south to Pacific City for lunch, then back north through Tillamook and home via 6.

This stretch was great. Most of the tight short turns are either labelled with a road sign or you can see through the them, but there are a few blind ones to watch out for. The road is mostly smooth asphalt, but does have a few rough spots.

Starts of off with some great open twisties. Then about a third the way in, you'll hit 2.6 Miles of packed dirt and some loose gravel. We crawled through it around 20mph on a SV650 and a Suzuki Katana. After that it's a great ride, with only two or three more rough patches, less than a mile each.

There was a 'road closed' sign, but we kept going anyway. One of the side roads was in fact closed, but this road was open.

Traffic was light, maybe 6-7 cars the whole stretch, none got in the way.

Great ride. If you're thinking about it, just go do it.

Great road and wonderful forest scenery although prone to debris in corners. Twisty with a capital T. 2 mile gravel/dirt stretch that is easily navigated on an HD Road Glide and a Yamaha FJR.

Absolutely gorgeous road that follows a meandering river for miles and miles. For a TX guy who came to OR and rented a bike this is exactly what I wanted! A beautiful winding tight road thick with trees and no development at all. The road goes to dirt which gave me a scare since I didn't know at the time if it was ever going to join back up with a main/paved road or not. But it did, and I continued around back to Portland the entire way was something I'll never forget!
