The unexpected, those moments that leave you speechless... and that you will carry with you forever. That's motorcycling.

The Lost Coast Highway is among my top 3 motorcycle roads in the west coast area. I rode it some 18 years ago and your videos brought the memories come flooding back. It's every bit as good as your excitement conveys.

That was so awesome Sterling....felt like I was along for the ride Always feel relaxed after watching your films Thanks again, Mark

Ya Hoo! My Tiger 800 got a feature shot on the channel! Great to meet you while overlapping a night on the Lost Coast. Great video

Thanks!!! that’s cool you were out there too!

Sterling...your filming and production is incredible! I almost forgot how beautiful and mystical the north coast is. You captured it perfectly. We used to abalone dive down at Mendocino. Thank you so much.

The Lost Coast Century is a 100-mile bike ride in California. It's also called the Tour of the Unknown Coast. The route includes beautiful scenery, but also has sections of bad pavement, steep climbs, and twisty descents. The Lost Coast is a mostly natural and undeveloped area of the California North Coast in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties. It was named the "Lost Coast" after the area experienced depopulation in the 1930s. When the Pacific Coast Highway was being built, engineers chose to go around this 100-mile section of coast.

Sterling, I'm convinced that northern California offers some of the best motorcycle roads in the world, certainly in the US. When I lived in The Bay Area I frequently took day rides along the costal range avoiding US101 and I-5 like the plague. CA36 between Red Bluff and US101 ranks as my all time favorite road on a bike.

It was Clement Salvadori's articles on the Forgotten Coast that got me hooked on this place. What vistas...

I camped at Needles few years back, rode my Africa Twin up USAL Rd. which was tricky in a few spots with a full load. We had elk visit our campsite. Beautiful spot. Need to get back. Great video

Nice to see some old stomping grounds. I graduated from HSU in 1989. You're having a great adventure. I'm enjoying following along.

My favorite part of this video starts @12:15. I've always loved cinematic shots of life paired with chill electronic music and guitar.

Thank you Sterling I did it twice my first time too. I have returned there for more than five years and camped in Fortuna.

Just rode the Mottole Rd and Kings Peak Road today on my Tiger 1200. Great day on the Lost Coast. Lots of dirt, even on the paved roads 😉

I love your extemporaneous Road Less Traveled motorcycle adventures. The riding in this episode was exactly what I enjoy. I'm too old for technical off road riding but not too old for some back road motorcycle adventures. Thank you for sharing. It's very motivational.

Lost Coast hwy, on of the best kept secrets of California coast. One of my favorite rides and tons of history too. Black Swan Odysseys

All about the roads less traveled. Fabulous

I did the same thing my first time on Mattole! Turned around and did that "reveal" again =D 2021, on my way back from MOA Rally in Montana. I had started the day in Medford, got to Ferndale early afternoon. Low overcast, a little damp. As I climbed up and out of town, it got really dark and foggy in spots, but the cloud layer turned out to be thin and I soon found myself with clear blue skies and the hill tops above the clouds. The cloud layer ended completely by the time I came around that bend. Had to pull over (not easy...it's steep!) to absorb it. Breathtaking view. That short run along Black Sand Beach...damn... I stayed on Mattole Road past Honeydew and camped at Albee. Went through there again in 2022 with a group, and decided I needed to spend a week in the area. Didnt happen in 23, but planning an extended return in June this year. Cant wait.

Dear Sterling, you are an enlightened man, for you are always discovering contemplative scenes and landscapes. A big hug from your brother from Brazil!

Fantastic roads and views. Thanks Sterling.

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥

Inspiring.

Fantastic thank you

Fantastic find Sterling, and what a great way to document it. It seems I always open up google maps when I watch your videos so I can see where you've gone and help with my route planning. I had to watch this a second time, just like you going down that great road to the Pacific. Well done.

Beautiful

Welcome to my backyard, Sterling. One of the most magical places in California- a state filed with many magical places; Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Carmel, Big Sur, Death Valley, Joshua Tree…. Know you know why we stay, it is not for the politics!

going around to beautiful places using motorbikes looks very good

You are amazing😊

That is one beautiful sunset and great campsite! Keep up the amazing work!

Dude your living the BEST LIFE thank you for sharing🥰

The lost coast has been on my radar for some time, but your video gave me much more info about it. And seeing it through your lens-even better. Thanks.

This one brought back some great memories from riding the Lost Coast Highway in 2005. Stunning and had it mostly to myself.

You’re killing it Sterling!!! Each Video gets better can’t wait for the next one!!!!!

The Lost Coast - a remote and stunning way to fully test your suspension🙂. Thank you for sharing and bringing back many memories of travel through this unknown jewel.

A sweet reminder of these great roads. I did a car camping trip through there a few years ago and always wanted to go back on my bike.

Thanks for another great start to my Sunday morning. Incredibly beautiful part of the country.

Sterling, thank u for another adventure.

Wow, what an amazing area!

You will love the Norwegian cost Line 😊

Love that area. Hardly anyone knows about it. Takes weeks to see it all

I grew on the north coast and traveled those roads and more many many times. So beautiful, I still ride that area from time to time with my coastal friends. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful video Sterling, riding the Pacific coast this year, I had great days like this discovering the small towns and beautiful places that still remain in California. Thank you for sharing

Thanks Sterling, your vlogs are awesome and keep getting better! Informative and entertaining. Mattole road is on my bucket list. Your Lost Coast adventure adds even more! 👍

I just rode the lost coast road last week. its getting rougher every year but still one of my favorite rides

Fantastic! Love the music in this one.

Love the new format 👍👍

Amazing, simply amazing! Sterlng Productions at it's best!! 👍👍

California, where have all the grown ups gone? I will say it's nice to see the young folk learning the value of a dollar. Another great video, your campsite finding abilities are top notch.

Αwsome Ride !!

Watching your video while having dinner at home and thinking that my motorcycle is in my garage. I better go for a ride now 😂

Thanks so much for this beautiful video, and for taking the time to make this one a little longer. I’m with you in always looking for the little gray lines on the map. What a payoff. Thanks again.

Thank you Sterling.... I really look forward seeing you with a million subscribers. I really like all your videos.

Wow what a great day and a great way to end it !! The kids and dog were precious !! Glad you got to have that amazing experience :)

Nicely done! Beautiful part of the country.

This was a really good one. I missed the cental cali coast when i was out there last time. It looks so peaceful. maybe a bit too rural for me even. thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

Very nice. Adding that route to my trip coming back from the north west. Thanks Sterling!

You did a beautiful job putting this together great job once again !!

It's been nearly 20yrs since I've ridden in those parts... Hopefully someday i can make it back! Thank you!

Score! What a campsite.

One of your best videos yet!! You do amazing work my friend. Someday our paths shall cross 🎉

That was a beautiful area I was able to see last week thanks to you. I walked the trail past the barn and was able to see 2 bull elk and a covey of quail just before dark. It was amazing. Thx again.

The intro to this video is so awesome..so good. Another great video. I've done so much riding up in this area and I miss it. Thanks for bringing me back Sterling.
