Matt, dang you are NAILING it with these “short films”!!! These are the kinds of vlogs that motivate people to get away from the “noise” in life, get away from Corporate America, the nasty news on TV every night, to go buy the bike, and see this epic landscape we’ve all been blessed to experience. These journeys either solo or with the right company, really remind us what’s important in life and make for great story telling for all the years to come. The camping, the photo ops, the huckleberry pie, the weather, the elements, the wildlife, the big sky, the chatter. Man I REALLY appreciate these types of vlogs, and few narrate and do it as well as you… Glacier, Death Valley, Zion… providing great feedback to those buying bikes in finding the right ride for their riding style, and great intel on all the destinations to consider… I had that perfect moment as you pointed out so well and I never thought of it that way, but an early morning ride out of Telluride, leading a few guys after a big breakfast, on our way to a little town called Ridgeway, on our way to Aspen. No traffic, refreshing brisk weather, epic scenery, not riding hard following a long day of more than 540 miles, there was that relaxing moment where you think, “man, riding doesn’t get any better than this”. Great stuff Matt, you’re causing me to reflect and get long winded! Lol.
I appreciate that comment my friend. Thank you! You pretty much summarized exactly what I hope people take away from watching my riding trips. I'm glad people like you are enjoying them.
Every production keeps getting better, love the History lesson!
I think it may be time to retire and spend the rest of my life riding around America!
What a country, you guys are truly blessed!
You and me both! I’m ready to just ride every day.
Yeeees you have a biiig country, I was only just thinking this morning that Thailand is actually pretty small, not being allowed to cross borders and check out Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia is very frustrating. One biker mate is talking about riding to the foot of Everest, now that would be something. Its good to dream sometimes.
i retired ar 57 and have been doing that since im 66 now,,, what a country
Glorious! So much better than hearing about how many torques are made at the crankshaft.
Haha, I like to mix it up once in awhile. Glad I could provide a little variety
This is one of your best videos. Loved it.
Thank you! I spent A LOT of time on this one.
Bike camping is always glorious
It’s a man thing that brings out the best in us all.
@@MattLaidlaw *Indeed **#MattLaidlaw** & **#JohnSSmith** it sure **#does**.*
That intro man! You’re the David Attenborough of wild Harley’s in their natural habitat
LOL, Thank you! I try to make my intros set the tone. Glad to hear it's coming through
Attenborough. Classic! Hahaha…

Gorgeous film. Love it, every second
Thank you my friend. I appreciate you watching and leaving the comment.
Love your videos Matt! I will probably never be able to visit all of these places on my Road Glide so your videos are the next best thing! Thanks!
I've ridden all over Death Valley on my 2002 RKC on several trips. Love it. Great roads and ever changing colors and scenery. You pretty much need two days to catch the highlights of the park on a motorcycle. You didn’t miss much not seeing Scotty's Castle. Still worth the ride. You got the crater to see as well at that end of the park. Nice video.
Thanks for the heads up. Yea, we just scratched the surface of stuff to look at there.
fantastic video ! having lived most of my life in a big city in Canada a lot of my riding has been through huge areas of forest so the couple of times i've been to the SouthWest i've completely fallen in love with the barren deserts of Arizona and California . they have a beauty that's hard to pin down , just so much open space and a completely different colour palette than i'm used to . this video captures that beauty incredibly well . i can't wait until i have another chance to visit and Death Valley has definitely been added to my list !
I really appreciate the comment. It's funny how we all crave what we don't have. I love the lush forest because I get a lot of desert. I can appreciate both though. Take care
Once again, you’ve knocked it outta the park, Matt. The narration and explanations were fantastic. I think what I enjoy most about your videos is the fact that you do a great job showing what the Harley culture truly is. You aren’t just trying to sell bikes, but selling a lifestyle. I find it truly appealing. You truly are living your best life and I hope I’m watching these videos for a long long time. Kudos to your team as well! Great bikes and great people!
Great road trip. Love that Road King Special. 😊
Amazing video. I’m surprised you don’t have your own TV show. Music, video, and footage was amazing. Love watching your videos Matt!
Thank you! It's great to hear people appreciate our work! Thanks for watching
Much appreciated brother. That’s a huge compliment. Thank you for the support.
Easily your best road trip video so far, as it prominently features a Road King Classic. The white walls and the chrome beautifully complement the colours of the desert and the blue skies!
Another mesmerising amazing story captured on a Harley with great friends. Thank You Matt for bringing us along on your journeys. Ride safe 🤟
Great video Matt. I always loved the California and Arizona deserts. Only thing I miss about it. Ride safe all.
Really nicely told story with great editing!! Well done bro. Great images also.
Another fantastic video Matt. Showing people how great it is being in the Harley-Davidson family. I'm 68 now but still ride my SGS almost every day. I have had many adventures on the 7 Harley-Davidson's I've owned over the last 33 years. My favorite trips always involved camping. Former Milwaukee native saying greetings from SW Florida.
Man bro this was one cold ass vid man, from the history in the beginning to the night of camping to the ride with that great music, everything. I got some planning to do with my bros.👍🏿
Dang! Wish I could have joined you guys! Great times for sure!
These are great...keep them coming!
Woooo incredible man, my dream is to make a trip like this one day with my partners and our harleys, I'm from Brazil but I'm still going to know the valley of death one day. 🤟🏻🏴☠️🏍🏍🏍
Positively my favorite style videos to watch, greatly appreciated work on it.
Matt, another great video! Thank you for taking us with you, truly inspirational!
Matt- this might be my FAVORITE video you have ever put out. We traveled from Seattle to visit DVNP last Feb- the WHOLE TIME, from my rental car, I was thinking how awesome it would be on my HD. I loved seeing many of the same spots we hung out as a family. You seemed to have a great time. These must take an enormous effort to put together- just want you to know how much I appreciate it!
Another awesome video Matt!! Appreciate the time and effort you put in to making them!!!
All the work that goes in is worth it when I get comments like this. Thank you!
Matt thank you so much for taking the time to perfectly edit film and narrate this awesome mini movie 💞
great video! Looking forward to riding death valley some day myself. Would be great to see some overland camping videos with the Pan America.
My backyard! Grew up just north of there.
Bishop CA.
Thank you for making and sharing this incredibly well made video. You have succeeded in convincing me to make the journey there. Extremely well done, chaps. The greatest cruiser ever made, the VTX 1800, will enjoy taking me there too.
Just did a ride through there two weeks ago!
How was it? What did you do different?
*#MasterChief0093** ☝🏽Question ‼️*
Friends and motorcycles priceless! Love the narration Mr Laidlaw. Keep the videos coming. I bought my first Harley a couple of weeks ago because of your videos. Never thought I’d ride a Harley or any motorcycle again. Thought I was to old. Your videos inspired me. Thank you Sir.
Black rifle and yeti should sponsor your show😁
Great thanks thanks for the ride along
Great video, good comments, seasoned with some historic facts: Perfect! Simply good entertainment. Good put together. Some of these videos you have made in recent years is, in my opinion, thoroughbred documentary movies. Great music and a wonderful contribution to keep the Harley-Davidson and motorcycle culture alive. Thank you for sharing and doing this!
This is exactly the content that I try to make so I really appreciate the comment. Thank you my friend. Glad these videos are delivering entertainment
@@MattLaidlaw wow
Loved this video. Keep em coming Matt!
As always, great job Matt!

Thanks for the comment man. I got some good ones in the archives. Haha. God is with you too.
Matt one of your best videos ever. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope to get out there one day.
Definitely one that I put the max amount of effort on. Glad it didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks for watching
About eight years ago I rode from the east coast to the west and back. On the return I stopped in Fresno to visit friends. From there I did Yosemite, A night in Bishop then Death Valley. This was August, it was 109 at Stove Pipe and 122 at Furnace. Really hot but worth every mile I traveled. I’m 73 now and am planning a Colorado west coast and back trip this year. Probably do 6 to 8 weeks of riding. The trip I mentioned here totaled 12,500 miles and took 65 days.
Ride on gentlemen ,loved the video.
Another great video Matt, all the rides you do just get added to my bucket list!
That was awesome guy’s! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you for watching!
I'm 4 hr north of Sacramento in the mountains, it amazes me anyone would WANT to live in such a place as death valley, so MISERABLY hot and desolate, i can't comprehend it, but that's what makes this country the great, something for everyone. Whenever I cross Nevada on a roadtrip it's at NIGHT. Cool video Matt.
Awesome! Very nicely done! I visited Scotty's Castle the year before the close. I have pictures before the flood. I can't believe it is still closed. It's been years.
fantastic Harley travel video !!!! keep them coming !! love the editing , narration as well as the drone footage too !!
Great video Matt! Made me want to be there. Some awesome cinematography in there too.
Love these videos and the history and ride details you include. Gives me many new rides to add to my bucket list. Thanks Matt and crew!
Can’t go wrong with a video from Matt Laidlaw 😎🙏
Much appreciate the comment. 🤙🏼
Thanks for sharing the amazing experience out there. I really hope to enjoy it myself soon.
yet another EPIC trip Matt! thanks for sharing this area with us all. I MUST make it out west sooner than later.
Matt, thank you for sharing your HD Motovlogs! They are 30 mins but seem only like 3 mins long because it flows so seamlessly and smooth! They move my heart and soul too!
From New Zealand and our first trip in 2007 we went to Death Valley not long after Sturgis....Interesting, second trip 2012 was even better but had just had massive thunderstorm through and there was water and rocks all over the road...Love that place. Top video, the filming and content is top quality...Thank you
Wow ..... that was an !! epic !! video .... What you said about those moments on a road trip with your Harley where everything is so perfect was so true! THANKS to you and your team for sharing that ride !
Thank you! Thanks for checking it out. 👍🏼
this is epic bro! it is like watching good quality documentary
Thank you!
Wow, incredible video Matt and team. I felt I like I was there with you all. Thank you for the video/experience!
Love these short films Matt! Ride On!👍🏻
Your video production is just superb Matt. Fun place btw. Greetings from Arizona .
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
You guys do some of the best videos I’ve seen. I feel like I’m right there with you. Perfect blend of on road, and off… Keep up the great work 👊
Road kings…. I like it!
3 to be exact!
Awesome video!, thanks for sharing your adventures guys
Epic videos. Thanks for sharing your trips!
That was one of the best videos you done Matt! Really enjoyed it!
Love the way you began this video!
The edit of the two shirtless guys into the story about the two young riders made me choke hahaha
Love these touring vids!!!! Production on this one was killer!
Awesome completely changed my perception of Death Valley thanks for showing. When you stopped in at the canteena I was thinking a picture of beer and a pizza would be so good. Just bought like 2 days ago a 2020 Harley Street Glide special in competition orange I've not even got it home yet. Now winter is here so I will park it in the garage and watch your videos .
Another awesome trip and video. Thanks for sharing.
I really like these destination videos. I was stationed at Ft Irwin from 1998 to 2000. I have a 2012 FLHTCU which I like very much. The first bike I ever rode on was a 1963 Duo glide when I was 4 years old so Harly Davidson was ingrained in my childhood. I live in Northern Utah so I can really relate to all your videos. Thanks for your work on RUclips!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing this experience with us. Never knew this existed.
Cool that you guys did some motorcycle camping! I’m going on an overnight motorcycle camping trip this weekend which is awesome cuz it’s November in central Illinois. Supposed to be in the 60s so gotta take advantage! Been motorcycle camping all my life (63 now). Only stay in hotels on trips if the weather is really nasty. The more you do the camping thing the better and more comfortable you’ll be. I remember waking up in Yellowstone with our tents and bikes totally frosted over. Inside our tents and sleeping bags we were as snug as can be. Thanks for a great video!
I’ve been camping a good amount in my younger years but haven’t done it much as of late. I’m gonna get back into it 👍🏼
Speaking for someone who had been homeless for years . . You guys had it way too easy out there! Lol love the video! Ride safe!
Yea, we had it pretty easy. That’s by design. 👍🏼
Another great video Matt. Thanks for sharing. Have a pleasant weekend. 🙂🏍🇨🇦
Thanks for watching👍🏼 have a good one.
Looked liked alot of fun!!
Hey Matt, Another awesome video and I agree that your videos have become wonderful cinematic films. The quality compels me to watch and the narration with a touch of history is just perfect. Thank you!!!! I loved it! And I would consider traveling there from Florida is you ever decide to invite your subs on a group ride.
living the dream.... love it thanks for the video
I was living vicariously though all of you. It's great to ride on the open road with friends. And great job putting the video together.
Really enjoy your teams trips mate. Keep them coming 😎👍🏼
Another exquisite video Matt. 1st class all the way. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you sir. I really appreciate the comment and you watching!
Love the intro Matt and as usual the video was kick ass. Keep them coming.
Great Videos Matt! Thank you so much. Awesome bikes and nice places! Greetings from germany :)
Thanks man. Thanks for watching.
Great video and a good time to hit Death Valley. Here I am trying to decide if I am going to ride the Heritage into work today...at 38 F...
🥶 you’re a brave man.
I can’t say how much i relate to this right now lol
@@zackaryschrimsher7319 It's what that nonbreathable rain gear and soft lowers was made for! 😁
Matt, I love watching your videos brother! Keep them coming!
Blessed to have a good bunch of folks to take trips like this with. Enjoyed the scenery. Always wondered what it was like there. Your video production keeps getting better and better.
Thank you very much for showing us this beautiful landscapes 👍
Really amazing views.
I watched your video in my wide screen and I feel like I'm in it.
Great video and nice crews. 👍 👍
I love it! Thanks!
🤘⚡️🤘✨. Scotty’s castle 🏰 foreplay. Requesting a follow up video. Great stuff as always.
HAha. Maybe you need to be a guest appearance on that one
@@MattLaidlaw maybe
I’ll be recruiting you for that video.
Fantastic motorcycle trip. Really enjoyed this.
Thank you Matt.Another EPIC video.Thanks Guys.
Greetings from tropical Queensland down under........Awesome vlog Matt, loved every second of it. Great to see the brother and sisterhood between you all having a laugh and simple good time, Is what times always used to be like back in my day on the road. Great selection ok bikes also, and mannnn that 05 RKC is truly beautiful to see it road tripping, and to see a young guy riding it. Massive hanks for making and sharing these wonderful vlogs mate.🤙
I’d say you still do have it! Excellent Matt!!
Awesome video...Thanks for sharing!!
thanks for the tour ! been up and down 395 a few times but didn't know what was out there !
'Riding my Harley on Artist Pallete Rd at sunset that day was one of those moments' Been there, done that. & hope to do it again. You nailed it! Love your vids!
Awesome video guys!
What a Trip, i wish we had this Roads.
Greetings from Germany.
Having been to Germany I can tell you as an American that we wish we had some places like you have.
I've been all over Europe and in my opinion nowhere has more natural beauty than Southern Germany. Including Austria, Switzerland and Northern Italy.
Someday come to The Great Southwest, rent a Harley Davidson and ride !
Yes that's my dream, someday I'll do that.
Awesome Matt! Did the same ride a few years ago and your vid definitely brought back those memories. I really love that place too. Mahalo brah. Peace
Badass Matt, thanks for the share!!!
Hey man! love these productions they are so fun to watch and hopefully I can expierence this same thing! keep it up
Great video documentary and awesome story telling with historical lore weaved in.
