Wow dude! Matt, That was a seriously killer short film right there. So much to say……I’ll start by once again saying that your videography, editing & soundtrack selections were so on point. I felt like I was actually on the trip with you! The still shots in Monument Valley were epic, as well as all the drone footage you added. Simply spectacular! I’ve lived in Montana and Colorado out west and climbed mountains and seen what I thought was beauty, but I think you “Johnny One Bettered” me as my tour guide into Southern Utah and Arizona. You just can’t unsee that natural beauty of the area. I just kept getting images of the old west running through my head and the Pan Am was my Trusted Steed! Lol….The sunsets and everything was just breathtaking, man. Btw, wish we had an Eagle Rider here in the Midwest!!! Can’t find anywhere to rent a bike around here. Did you see any Rattlesnakes?? I’m petrified of snakes and undoubtedly, that would have been constantly a thought of mine. 😂 Great job to all the guys as well for just being genuine fellas and enjoying themselves. You really know how to make someone feel like their life suddenly isn’t what it should be. I mean that in a good way of course. 😂 great job! Can’t wait for the next one wherever that may be, but I know one thing, “it’ll almost always be better done on two wheels”! Peace bro, and can’t wait for my Tshirt to get here either! 🤜🤛
Seriously appreciate this comment Steven. I’m going to pin it. Your comment is exactly the message and vibe that I try to illustrate in my videos. No rattle snakes thank goodness. Haha. Enjoy the ride my friend. Thanks for ordering a short as well. I appreciate it. I think you’ll like the quality. Take care.
From whistling cowboy music to the techno sounds of tool.. 🔥 Nice Moto documentary.
Haha. Music is always a tough one. Glad you enjoyed it.
Having ridden a bunch of these trip, the scenery NEVER gets old. It's just so beautiful out there.
I'm in awe every time I hit the road. Thanks for the memories and a great video!
It's so great to have Mickey back (one of my favs) and Nick OF COURSE! But a road trip without Andrew? Man just postpone the trip till he can make it.
Haha he'll love this comment. I think you're right though. I always do everything I can to get him out. This time he decided he had more important things to do I guess. Kinda a loser if you ask me.
Yeah it's definitely not the same without Andrew!
What no Andrew! I’m not finishing this video 😢😆🤣🤣
@@MattLaidlaw yes no need for a safety officer this time without Andrew!
😢andrew spent the trip in his dresser drawer with his dry rain gear!
very few rides in America I’d call “spiritual” but thru Monument Valley still brings tears of joy to my eyes….
2022 Harley Davidson Road King Standard
Tears of joy man. I love it.
Absolutely stunning!! Seriously, not enough Americans appreciate how amazingly beautiful the country is!! I've been several times and feel like I haven't even scratched the surface... Get out there and enjoy it!! I can't wait to go back!!
Those drone shots of the switchbacks are insane!!!
Thanks Nick! Those DJI hand-held shots came out nicely too.
Hands down you have one of the best ride channels on YT. The production value and footage is documentary quality. You must have spent a pretty penny on camera, sound and other equipment. Fitting that you're in CA; your stuff is Hollywood worthy bro. Good on ya. My son took the grandkids to Universal Studios this week so I told them to stop by Laidlaws and pick me up a t-shirt. Doubt they did it tho...the ingrates! LOL. Peace.
If you can stream UA-cam to your TV, it's even better watching these riding documentaries he puts out.
Haha! Tell them to come see me. We will send you a pic as well. Thank you for the positive feedback. I got some good equipment but it's all normal enthusiast stuff. Nothing really professional. Just a lot of time doing it and a lot of practice editing
@@MattLaidlaw well they ended up staying in Laguna Beach so maybe too far to get up your way. But one of these days, I'm going to swing by and say hey. Wife has family in LA area so I'll get there sooner or later. ✌
This is the best response I’ve seen so far, based on laughter alone. “Ingrates”!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
@shep68 its really is! definitely appreciate the quality for sure!
Riding in Utah never fails, visited on multiple occasions the places you were riding and Utah is calling my name again.
Contemplating getting back on a bike after a few years away. Came across Matt and his buddies when the Sturgis trip videos came out. I have spent the last couple of weeks going back and watching most of the older stuff. 2024 will be my year to get back on a bike, these videos cemented the fact. Thanks Matt (and friends), hope to see you on the road next year.
That was an amazing trip for you guys Matt. Utah is definitely one of the most beautiful states in the USA. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Good to see mickey and nick back! I thought nick might have moved on. I absolutely love watching these trips you guys take, be safe out there!
I wish I could have gone on the Sturgis trip and the Santa Barbara trip as well, but I have to remind myself I'm fortunate to go on any of these at all so i can't complain!
Matt, your videos tick the boxes of cinematography, local history, geography, and adventure. Well done mate, another excellent short film.
Had to put the bike's away the end of October 😢 gets harder every year to do so at my age knowing it will be my last year eventually. Living where I am is the greatest place on earth for riding bike's but the winters are extremely hard to wait out. 😢😢😢😢😢love that i found you're videos they help more than you can imagine to get me through 🤠 looking forward to the next one.
Always a tough time of year putting the bikes away. I wouldn't know about that though. Haha. Seriously though, thanks for watching. I glad I can keep the love of motorcycling alive for you during the cold months.
Dude your videos are seriously as good as it gets. I've seen every one. This one was in my home. I grew up in Escalante and live in Henrieville. Wish I could put together a group like you guys. I've been here 38 years and this one really made me appreciate it. Top notch to say the least man. We're going to try and do your Route 66 and Sedona this yr. Only have 1,500 miles on the new 23 Street Glide Special. Keep em coming. Can't wait for the next one!
Highway 12 is easily a top 5 road in the entire US. So much fun.
Absolutely stunning views and great videos from the team! Thanks Matt and the team, along with EagleRider for taking us along for the ride!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment my friend
Magnificent footage!! And yes, nothing beats the Pan America for this kind of traveling...!!
Thank you! The scenery in Southern, UT makes it hard to not have great footage hah! Yea, the Pan America was the perfect bike for this ride
@@MattLaidlawMatt, I’d be intrigued to know what you thought of the BMW.
I fully understand you’re a Harley Dealer man and have not only brand loyalties, but USA loyalties too. Nevertheless a little opening up about it would keep us Europeans abreast of your views.
Great example of being prepared, thank you for bringing me along
Another great travel episode!!! What happened to my life time "ride with the Laidlaws crew-" certificate. Maybe is does not include adventure bikes (which by the way is the fastest growing...). No seriously, what a great trip, thanks for sharing.
LOL! Stefan, I didn't want you to have to ride the new CVO in the dirt my friend. I suppose we could have gotten you a rental though.
Hi Matt , I watch you ,Danny and 2 lane . I live in the uk ,but you all take me to places I can only dream of visiting .thanks for taking me on all your adventures 👍
Would be rather interested in the MPG on the KTM, the BMW 1250 and the Pan America, on trips like this. Highway 12 on that ridge would be a REALLY cool spot to pull out the DJI drone and get some good footage, next time. Your timing of the year with the Azure blue skys out there makes a huge difference in how that whole red rocked area videos. Low sun = great shots. Matt, your video's are proof that, chosen wisely, once you get out of CA and NV and into UT, AZ, CO, WY MT SD.... on vacation.... it's never about the DESTINATION, it's about the JOURNEY getting to and from there. I would DEFINITELY want tubeless rims for a trip like this on my bike, with a plug kit and a battery powered air pump. A punctured tire out there would be a huge bummer.
Well said. The KTM was getting the best MPG at like 55. Depending on riding. We were really moving out on the highway. Pan Americas usually get me around 40 MPG. That's riding like a douche bag though.
Riding like a douche is the best way to ride
Wow What A Magical Ride & The View Was Just Incredible...
Thank you for the Ride.
👌🇦🇺👌
I put over 250 K miles on a 1978 Gold Wing doing just what your doing, I have traveled that road, I really enjoyed this video. There are some beautiful places to see in this country. They are even better on a motorcycle
Wow nice. Everything is better on a motorcycle. Except maybe a rain or snow storm. 🤣
Amazing video as always! On a side note, if anyone is complaining about this channel being all about and only Harley Davidson then maybe they're watching the wrong channel. You are a Laidlaw, that works at Laidlaw Harley Davidson so by its nature kinda is a Harley Davidson channel. Keep the videos rolling! Cheers.
Haha. Well said. People kinda who what to expect when they come here. Thanks for the comment my friend.
RT12 is awesome. One of my faves.
Yea, it's such a great road
2 Wheels is all that matters! Been Camping and riding in this area for over 20 years. It is Amazing !I have a GS 1200 and a KTM 350 Dirt Bike. Ride dirt every weekend and been to a lot of the same places you'r e Crew's been on Road Trips. If I had a bigger garage I'd have a Harley too. Love the Channel!
Thanks man. You got a great backyard to ride in that’s for sure. Thanks for the comment. Enjoy the ride.
Wow, the grandeur and beaty of this great country, spectacular! Enjoying good times and great friends all while on two wheels, can't wait to ride out west myself. What a trip, great video!
The epitome of the American West! You gotta hit this area!
Great Video! The Burr Trail is a wonderful adventure. I can’t wait to spend more time there.
Yea it’s a cool ride.
Great video, very enjoyable. Sitting in my recliner recovering from knee replacement surgery, watched the video on the big screen TV. Help take my mind off of my aches and pains for a little bit.
Thank you all very much.
Be careful, ride safe.
I've overlanded all over the southwest and Utah is one beautiful state.
Absolutely amazing. We have been on most of the roads in the video but in a car/suv. My dream is riding the paved roads on the Road Glide. Great crew! Second those that were happy Mickey was back! Looking forward to your next video!
Great video Matt, and Luke your crew. Nick's dry humor is awsome.
Matt, Thank You for sharing these videos of your travels. They are helpful , informative and inspirational. Godspeed on your journeys!
Pretty neat narrating the route while video riding in background. What a breath of fresh air this video. That type of riding through roads like that, not gnarly stuff, looks like how I’d like to ADV ride. Stunning scenery.
Good video! Riding in number one without show.
excellent video, spectacular country 👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Thanks Matt, it's just beautiful over there. Thank you. 😄
Almost like a scene out of the good the bad and the ugly at times with the music. Great video Matt.
Hah! Thanks man
Another great video Matt and "sacrifices must be made for the greater good."
Yeah that’s true and good Stanford, how are you doing today? I’d love to know you better Stanford, that’s only if you don’t mind 😊❤️
Hwy 12 is 1 of the most relaxing beautiful rides of all time. my favorite.
Wonderful record of your trip with the boys, great memories to look back on, kind regards from Scotland.
Just epic! LOVE that area... So majestic.
Matt, your videos are put together so well, the combination of first person, drone, and stills really make it feel like we are there with you. It really makes me dream of all the places I want go see first hand.
We traveled NM/AZ last October, and the ride into Utah and into Moab was memorable for sure, definitely need to come back and see more.
I rode through Escalantè last June on my RG Limited. Those roads are AMAZING. The colors, topography, everything. Now Id like to do it on an Adventure bike. Great video.
Yea it’s incredible country out there.
Matt, I live in Florida I have followed you since day one. I just bought my 4th Harley 2023 street glide in Atlas silver. Anyway I fly for an Air ambulance fixed wing company call Air Trek medical jets. I flew out to St. George Utah in October 26th to evac a critical patient back to Florida any way just watch this video and yes St George was absolutely stunning had I know you where passing through I definitely would have tried to meet you. Anyway huge fan brother love all your content and in a few years I will fly out and by next bike from your dealership. Anyway safe travels and always love the content.
Thanks Bryan, these types of comments are my favorite. 4th Harley? Nice man. Yes, stop in Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday. I'm usually here. Come say hi. I appreciate you following and supporting the channel. Enjoy the ride man.
Great video Matt. I love HWY 12. I have riden it a couple times. Southern Utah is hard to beat.
Yea great road
Once again Matt, you and your team nailed it! You make the best motovlogs out there. Thanks for the tour through the sights in Utah. Definitely makes me want to buy a Pan America!
Love these documentaries. AWESOME
Another excellent video. Really enjoyed the views. Thanks for taking us along.
I did Valley of the Gods and Moki Dugway with Eaglerider; fantastic
Matt Just want you to know I really enjoy your video's. well edited. great commentary and music. Always nice to know what your watching
I appreciate that! Hopefully they only continue to get better !
You should do more of this ADV content. Great job.
Freaking Awesome I love Utah riding .. just outstanding and most of the west so many hidden gems
Tons of hidden gems. I could ride the western United States for the rest of my life and be good.
@@MattLaidlaw 💯
Hey, thanks for the video. Had a great time riding with you guys. It is the dead of winter here in Pennsylvania so no riding right now. But taking a virtual ride with you guys out west helps to clear the winter blues. You guys ride at a pace that makes the ride look enjoyable. 500 miles a day is all I care to do at my age but watching you young bucks ride for 600 plus mile days was impressive! I have been considering buying a Harley Pan America. This video is going to make me head to the dealership to check this bike out. Thanks!!
Such good riding out there. 🤘⚡️🤘✨✨✨
I need the video of you doing Moki on the Low Rider S
@@MattLaidlaw ua-cam.com/video/nwPNMioidPs/v-deo.htmlsi=EASOD091VNJZTPUj
Great video! You guys can’t be riding without Brandon and Andrew though, those two are a riot!
I know. True. They were invited but both can’t get their priorities in line. Sometimes they make poor life choices.
You outdid yourself on the cinematography and editing on this one. Definitely have to watch it on the TV later. Miss that area so much. Gotta buy a Pan America and get back out there.
Thanks Murph! Yes, best experienced on the big screen. Haha
Another awesome video Matt, this is what motor vlogging is all about. Good friends, great scenery, excellent memories #2thumbsup
What a great weekend...spectacular. Definitely made for an ADV bike with long legs. Harley should bring out the Pan America in the Fast Johnnie colour.
So EPIC! I just did this loop in May but went the opposite direction. So cool to see all those amazing sites again - thanks for putting this up!
Awesome video Matt! Beautiful scenery and pictures, well done !thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. That is a lot of miles crammed into a weekend.
I love your shows, man. You are the best.
Lovely as always I always enjoy watching your videos all of them ❤
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Matt for always making such amazing videos for all of us to enjoy. We have the most beautiful country, why would anyone need to ever leave.
True. You really can’t beat the US of A for riding.
America has such epic landscapes. I'm keen to get there one day to ride a motorcycle. Until then keep the adventures rolling.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 … stunning scenery 🤩 … thanks for sharing 👍
That all black Pan America is 🔥
Wow, beautiful landscapes. I hope to get there one day and see it for myself, on two wheels of course.
You should! 2 Wheels is the only way to do it..
The production value on these videos is so high. Great footage. Great, fitting music. Great editing. I wind up watching these videos all the way through. Nicely done!
Haha, sorry I made you go down the UA-cam time suck. Glad you enjoyed it though. Thanks for watching
What a great video, absolutely gorgeous country you rode through. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for coming along!
Another great video. I've been through some of this amazing area a while back. FYI, Antelope Canyon is up in Page Arizona, another spectacular area.
The road from Boulder to Torrey on 12 is fantastic as well. You rise up to over 9000’ elevation and ride through the cedars, with the Capitol reef rift valley off to the east. Super beautiful route!
A surprise that it’s a totally different vibe to road riding somehow. Nice to see you guys just push through and do the hours to destinations. That’s the reality and often the best way to find that sunset ride. Beautiful 👍
Rode my Africa Twin out to southern Utah from Georgia. Will never forget Gooseneck or Moki Dugway epic time with my brother. Great video!
Fist bump to ya, could not have said it anybetter.Yes awesome footage
the switchbackssssss😳!!!!
Haha. Yes sir. Fun stuff 🤙🏼
Such epic scenery! Well done!
Matt! What can I say? Spectacular. Especially because I’ve done this route but not on a bike. There’s a difference. This is probably one of my favorites of your videos. Crew is perfect. Keep them coming. Again beautiful editing, transitions and overlays. You’re getting better. ❤
Another awesome video great job you guys are professionals.
Thank you so much 😀 Hopefully we are somewhat competent at this point. We have been doing it for along time now haha. Thanks man.
Great video, I love the way you promote the best in Harley riding. Very impressive scenery!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.
Wrote my Fastback Blue PAS on it last year...
Currently recouping from Back surgery so no PAS riding for a year 2025 will be Alaska, Canada, West to East, hopefully fly bike and me to Ireland and tour Europe with it is my Goal... Don't worry I have the Laidlaw's decal on the bike when I sent you photos...
Whats up Steve! You're flying your bike to Ireland? Nice man. That should be epic. Bucket list item for me
What a realy realy awesome Tour Video again Matt 👍😀 ... in a absolute stunning Area of the United States ...
It pull you out of all greys of Life and free your Mind ... to ride self on
Thanks you and your Crew for show me all that beauty's of the States ...
With a so positiv Feeling and stunning Views ...
Full against of this struggeling World ...
You made me happy with you Video Work ... so ride safe and happy too
Your Arne from Europe 👍☺
Ya'll need to do the Denali highway in Alaska on those bikes. It's 135 miles of 95% dirt road and panoramic views like you see in National Geographic magazine . I live in Alaska and it'sa true gem. The Denali highway is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I camp there all the time. Ya'll stay safe and seriously think about the Denali highway as a once in a lifetime adventure in Alaska. Take care. Love your videos ❤️
Alaska is on the list. I’ll get there one day. It will most likely be on the Pan America.
And go up the Daulton all the way to Deadhorse! The pan America is made for that road. Some dude on Facebook was talking big about how he was going to take is $40,000 CVO up the Daulton and I’m like you’re just nuts to try that. If he is even able to make it, bike won’t be the same.
Thanks for showing a great ride 👍🏻👍🏻.
We took a Heritage Softail out of that very same Eagle Riders shop in LA back in June and ride it to Chicago. You have such a beautiful country I can’t wait to go back and just ride around Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
Back here in UK I have the 1250GS that you took on the trip. I’m almost tempted to hire one next time. Having said that the USA viewed through a Harley screen and soundtrack is something special to behold.
Great work - sitting at Discovery Channel levels of inspiration. 🤓🤓👍🏻👍🏻
Great motorcycle traveling video. Thanks to everyone for making this.
Hey Matt, I didn’t know I wanted all of this. Great video
Awesome video and pictures!
Great video once again Matt 👍, truly breathtaking views 💯
Awesome video Matt!
Came across watch wow Stunning Landscape live in Utah Work for a family own Harley Davidson in Salt Lake City they have Logan, Ogden, Sandy locations Love The Pan American Thank you Corrinda
Looks like a pretty epic trip. I was out that way mid-October doing Monument Valley, Moki Dugway, Valley of the Gods before hitting four corners and half of the COBDR.
20/20 hindsight, but Valley of the Gods has quite a bit of dispersed camping and is simply an amazing place to overnight.
Have a nice weekend ☕️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍🧧🧧🧧🙏
Great video as usual, Matt. I really haven’t had much interest in adventure touring bikes, but I must say you have helped to change my mind after watching. Keep the videos coming.
It’s a fun way to mix things up and go places that just aren’t suited for a normal on-road cruiser. Thanks for watching
Simply AWESOME !!!
Thank you 🙏
Can’t believe I missed this one. Great trip though. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great ride, thanks for sharing. Looks like one just about anyone could do with the right bike
Someone who has a decent amount of Motorcycle riding experience and the right bike can handle it. It isn't a beginner ride by any stretch of the imagination but you don't have to be an expert off-road rider either.
Great video. Great editing. Breathtaking scenery.
Thank you! Thanks for checking it out!
ONCE AGAIN MATT , EPIC RIDE AND EPIC FILM .AND YOUR CREW ARE AWESOME GUYS .
