I am from the area and this video brought back lots of good memories! Excellent video and great music!! Those were the days and still today, 50yrs later!!! The cops by the rock store have always been this way for 35yrs. 1000's of accidents from the store to Malibu Cyn rd. I had 9 accidents and quit. Now i ride a 50cc Coca Cola collectors bike that barely drives up a hill.. I once was with a friend on a Sunday afternoon, and joined up with a 3000 bike, biker convoy, from the store to Santa Monica! So much fun! Sunday afternoons at Neptunes, drink beer and fresh seafood also for 50yrs. Smoke a doobie on beach and reflect on life! Further down Leo Carrillo beach. Fun in the sun! Thanks again for a really good video!!!!!
Born and raised in So Cal and want to say this video is great. Can you imagine being an avid rider living the midwest during winter and watching this video thinking "I need to move to Southern California". The sun, surf, bikes and the music wraps it up.
Wonderful ride and beautiful sceneries. Great to see you and your co workers bonding off the job and enjoying a ride together. It also gives you an overview of their riding skills so you can help them improve.
Thanks for tge memories. I had forg otten hiw great it was in SoCal. I had spent sometime there in the late 90s riding up & down Topanga canyon & on the PCH! Top shelf cruising.
We rode through Neptune’s nest to Oxnard last Sunday morning around 9:30 ish marine layers rolled in and temp dropped down to about 69F and what a beautiful ride. Temp jumped up to 90F soon after as we heading back to Santa Monica beach. Great video Matt 👍🏼
Great vid Matt, one of my favorite rides. To be fair there are a large number of crashes and deaths up there. People override that section constantly, so I don’t think it’s just the cops trying to pick on people having fun, but to stop people from using a public highway as a racing strip, can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen someone pass on the wrong side of the road in a blind turn
I'm watching your videos from UK. Big fan of your bunch and your trips. Good to see bikers are universally nice people regardless the country or what they ride 👍
I have lived only 12 miles from the Rock Store for the past 20 years, but have never been. If it were open during the week, I'd eat there. But I stay clear of the weekend racers and warriors, the canyons, and their hangouts, especially during the summer. My Yamaha FJR and Honda probably aren't cool enough anyway. Try the canyons during the week after traffic, or before sundown going down to the ocean (against traffic). You'll usually own the road. But you have to watch out for deer at dusk. I clipped one that came out of nowhere on Malibu Canyon Road doing 25 mph in my SUV a few years back. Nice video Mr. Laidlaw.
I am from British Columbia Canada did almost that same ride , I was on my way down to Cabo on my 16 road glide ! Can’t wait for the borders to open up again love that pacific coast hwy
Hope to visit in 2024 from Scotland,UK and get a rental Harley and visit...this looks awesome!!!!! Will be in touch nearer the time to organise a rental.....cheers for the video!!!
No problem. Let's keep this between us and on the down low. Don't want everyone to know about it so it doesn't get crowded with traffic LOL! Ride Safe.
Awesome vlog! I’m in New York, but have family in California. I look forward to the day I can stop by Laidlaw’s HD and meet the crew, and possibly ride over to Neptune’s Net!
Great roads, brought back memories of my years in LA. Wouldn't it have been cool to talk bikes and cars with McQueen? Jay Leno was there one morning when we rode in. Earlier he had bought everyone breakfast, such a classy guy. BTW... Who gives these videos a thumbs down?
I can't get enough of this video lol THis damn Quarantine lol Can't wait for this nightmare to be over and start getting out again. We need more videos like this one showing the nice bike hangout spots around LA, OC, SD and all the way up to Santa Clarita's dealer :)) Good people!
I know this is an older vid, but I love your videos bro. I've been riding on and off since I was 14 (metric bikes) and after I got home from Iraq in 2019 I dove headfirst back into bikes and now I'm finally trying to get a Harley. Your videos have definitely helped me with my research on bikes and also given me ideas for road trips. Even my guy at my local HD said he watches your videos as well. Your videos should definitely be like official HD marketing videos or something lol. Anyways, thank you for making your videos and keep doing what you're doing bro!
Matt I enjoyed watching all of your videos. I live in Michigan and originally from there. But lived in Ventura California back in the eighties I used to work on that little man made island up on the rincon between Ventura and Santa barbara
Fun stuff! I grew up in So.Cal and lived the Harley lifestyle for a long time. The Rock Store was very cool. Jay Leno rode in while I was there on one of my two visits. I live up north now but know that So Cal life! Not to mention the iconic Laidlaws Harley Bar and Shield dominating the 10 freeway! Nothing like a few bros jamming down the road on Harley’s. Wish you would do a vid on Laidlaws Harley Davidson's history.
We stopped there on the way to Santa Barbara. Didn't know it was iconic. Great view with reasonably priced deep fried sea food. A little over cooked but I would eat here again.
Love these videos Matt. I live in Minnesota and stuck in winter now (January 2020). Videos like these warm me up. Took this ride a few years ago, awesome. Keep the videos coming.
AHHH Matt just when i had a great week in the western black hills and up at devils tower you tease me with these 2 socal rides and local favs :( Love the scenery and the clean cut Andrew on the video lol ......Bear Tooth pass is up next so i might get even :)
After watching your video on customizing your new 2018 Street Glide, I went and did the same set up on my Roadglide Ultra, slip-ons, AC and tuner. Mat my bike is running excellent, I couldn't be happier with that setup and still keeping my warranty. 👍👍👍
You definitely influenced my decision Mat thanks again. I rode about 100 miles yesterday after the stage 1 upgrade installed by my local HD dealership. 4in Rinehart Slip-Ons SEPST and High flow air cleaner. What a noticeable difference, an already great running bike runs even better. This particular set up seems to have the bike running perfect. Slightly higher idle speed now, smoother shifting and definitely a noticeable power increase, not sure how much of a power increase but it’s more than enough for me. Being I’m in the NY area and it’s cold this time of the year I had them install the heated grips and they work great, another recommended add for anyone thinking about it 👍
Hello Matt, great video and that view high upon the mountain is beautiful. I do not comment on every video but I do not miss out on any of them. Greats from Italy, where I am on vacation now. Greetz Erwin
Hey Matt, thanks so much for the cool video. I really think it is easy to get lost in the production value, the sights and scenes, and not fully appreciate the camera work and editing you do. I'm from Ohio and have not been out to California, so these videos are especially cool. I appreciate your work. Thanks.
+Matt Laidlaw - Great video! I'd love to see more from you in this style. Maybe you could record a ride to Newcomb's Ranch and/or Bouquet Canyon? Both have great twisties and excellent scenery. Have a good one.
I’m from England and as a guest in your great country and state Angeles Crest / highway 2 in imho one THE great roads . I’ve ridden it many , many times and it always teaches me something new about ridding . See you up there at Newcombes sometime ⚡️❤️
Too dang good video Matt.... best ! Miss the old days where outing in Neptune nest was fun n meeting many bike enthusiasts n more... this F**ing covid screwed us big time last year n years ahead. Great video !!!
Great vid Matt, I love that part of the country and the drone shots really put things into prospective. Hope the fires out there get stopped sooner rather than later. 👍🤟
Hi Matt, really sunny and relaxt video. Very well edit. The music makes me feel like an SoCal biker. Now, inspired... i take my night train and drive some bavarian ways here at home. BTW, i think i go changing to the Touring Bike Guys. RG oder SG. I will see next few month. Greetz an thx for that damn cool video. See ya.
On my 3rd Roadglide, just can't seem to get away from them, currently riding a 2018 Roadglide Ultra and I had the detachable tour kit installed, it gives me the option of riding without the tourpack when I'm just in the neighborhood and the bike feels so much lighter and easier to handle, and being it's the Ultra I get all the benefits of a soft comfortable ride 😊
We've got great roads here in VA, but we certainly don't have the car/bike culture or iconic destinations you have there. Wish we did! Looks like everyone is having a great time!
You stepped your game up! Everything is awesome especially the music and editing. I really enjoy it because I live in Detroit and I remember the trip I took from 2016 to all those spots.
One of your best vlogs - AWESOME - A video to watch more than once! I am going to quit my job, leave the East coast and hang out with you all! Never seen so many bikes together except the Memorial Day in DC.
Paid a visit there June 2023, awesome place. Matt the video is great, kinds keep watching it! Thanks guys, Simon 👍✌UK🇬🇧
Used to drive my S2000 hard through those roads every other weekend back in the day. They are such fun roads to drive and ride. Thanks for the video.
This video really brought back some good memories. I lived in Woodland Hills for years and that was my old stomping grounds.
I am from the area and this video brought back lots of good memories! Excellent video and great music!! Those were the days and still today, 50yrs later!!!

Thanks again for a really good video!!!!!
That music and intro was fire 🔥
Watching this is more entertaining than watching a Hollywood film. Well done fellas.
Thanks man. We appreciate it 👍🏼 thanks for watching.
Born and raised in So Cal and want to say this video is great. Can you imagine being an avid rider living the midwest during winter and watching this video thinking "I need to move to Southern California". The sun, surf, bikes and the music wraps it up.
Absolutely!
With all the great locations out there by you.....you figure Harley would no problems drawing more new riders. Love the video....stay frosty!
Another great video Matt. Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Scott
Wonderful ride and beautiful sceneries. Great to see you and your co workers bonding off the job and enjoying a ride together. It also gives you an overview of their riding skills so you can help them improve.
Thanks for tge memories. I had forg otten hiw great it was in SoCal. I had spent sometime there in the late 90s riding up & down Topanga canyon & on the PCH! Top shelf cruising.
Always a pleasure to watch this video.
That was a great video. Was wishing it never ended!
Great video, thanks for taking us on the ride with you
Cheers from Perth Australia. Kevin
We rode through Neptune’s nest to Oxnard last Sunday morning around 9:30 ish marine layers rolled in and temp dropped down to about 69F and what a beautiful ride. Temp jumped up to 90F soon after as we heading back to Santa Monica beach. Great video Matt 👍🏼
69 Degrees is the perfect riding weather. It was too hot the day we rode but it was still a great day
I will watch this again. Thanks for posting.
Sick dynas!
Instablaster...
Great vid Matt, one of my favorite rides. To be fair there are a large number of crashes and deaths up there.

That’s true people are dumb.
Yup cops the way they are there because of people like Dyna guy and bra girl! Cudos to the cager on the right staying out of the way also!
Great video Matt! Love it when you take us on a ride. Ride Safe!
I'm watching your videos from UK. Big fan of your bunch and your trips. Good to see bikers are universally nice people regardless the country or what they ride 👍
The Pacific Oceans never get old. A true bikers dream.
I have lived only 12 miles from the Rock Store for the past 20 years, but have never been. If it were open during the week, I'd eat there. But I stay clear of the weekend racers and warriors, the canyons, and their hangouts, especially during the summer. My Yamaha FJR and Honda probably aren't cool enough anyway.

I am from British Columbia Canada did almost that same ride , I was on my way down to Cabo on my 16 road glide !
Can’t wait for the borders to open up again love that pacific coast hwy
Hey Matt! Never take this video down! It’s truly the best. I give it a spin every couple weeks. Especially during Ohio winter. Big dirty thumbs ups!
Definitely two places I will visit on my next visit to Southern California as well as Laidlaws HD. Thanks again Matt for another great Vlog.
Awesome video looks like a great ride
Cool! Thanks for sharing the ride.
What a cool hang out
Nice Drone Footage ! Great Vid....
Gorgeous scenery and a great video. Can’t beat So. Cal. Ride safe.
Great video and your audio is always on point. Keep up the strong work.
excellent tour
Beautiful Sunday ride in California thanks for sharing
Hope to visit in 2024 from Scotland,UK and get a rental Harley and visit...this looks awesome!!!!! Will be in touch nearer the time to organise a rental.....cheers for the video!!!
Love riding Malibu Canyon!!!
So many great roads back there.
Keep posting your awesome vids!!!
Really enjoy watching ALL of them.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Matt. Beautifully done, Vid!
Great video as always
Awesome video.... Beautiful Scenery! Great job Matt
California is absolutely beautiful. Great camera angles and awesome bike ride. Atlanta has nothing like the scene in LA. Good shit bro! 👌🏾
Thank you my friend. Appreciated
DeMonte', there are some good roads for motorcycles north of Atlanta around Blue Ridge and the Chattahoochee National Forest areas. Hwy 5, 60, 19 & 76
Tim Murphy Thanks for the info will definitely take time out to explore the sights of Blue Ridge. Thanks again!
No problem. Let's keep this between us and on the down low. Don't want everyone to know about it so it doesn't get crowded with traffic LOL! Ride Safe.
Tim Murphy too late I'm heading from tx to see them 👍
Always a good time at neptunes on weekends! Thanks for sharing!
Matt must be the coolest boss ever, you guys were the slickest dudes there at Neptune's hands down ..
Awesome vlog! I’m in New York, but have family in California. I look forward to the day I can stop by Laidlaw’s HD and meet the crew, and possibly ride over to Neptune’s Net!
great video! finally, it is not only informative but also beautiful...Malibu is an amazing place...bare rocks, but still beautiful!!
Great roads, brought back memories of my years in LA. Wouldn't it have been cool to talk bikes and cars with McQueen? Jay Leno was there one morning when we rode in. Earlier he had bought everyone breakfast, such a classy guy.
BTW... Who gives these videos a thumbs down?
Hah! I fill up at that Shell too. Can't beat those two spots on a Sunday. Great vid, Matt. Love that trap beat too.
Super interesting, looking forward to more like this!
Very cool video- good for someone like me that is unfamiliar to the area to add things to my (growing) bucket list!
I like your Helmet. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
You hit some of the right points to enjoy riding in SoCal. I might have gone up to Ojai though and further. So much to see out here.
Awesome video Matt !!!! you should do more videos like this !!!! awesome dude !
Will be going up there first week of May going to hit these spots for sure
I can't get enough of this video lol THis damn Quarantine lol Can't wait for this nightmare to be over and start getting out again. We need more videos like this one showing the nice bike hangout spots around LA, OC, SD and all the way up to Santa Clarita's dealer :)) Good people!

I'd like to do a video on Laidlaw's History. That's a big project. Maybe one day I'll tackle it.
We stopped there on the way to Santa Barbara. Didn't know it was iconic. Great view with reasonably priced deep fried sea food. A little over cooked but I would eat here again.
awesome video, definitely have some riders envy after watching that
Haha thanks 👍🏻
Love these videos Matt. I live in Minnesota and stuck in winter now (January 2020). Videos like these warm me up. Took this ride a few years ago, awesome. Keep the videos coming.

What a great video and the music too! Had to watch three times in a row. Thanks Matt!
Haha. Thanks man.
Really enjoyed the vid. Looking to come over from the UK next year to do this run and visit the shop 👍
What a beautiful ride! 🤗Thank you!
Great video Matt, always love your vids, commentary and honesty. My next trip back to So. California I plan to visit your store.
Hello Matt, great video and that view high upon the mountain is beautiful. I do not comment on every video but I do not miss out on any of them. Greats from Italy, where I am on vacation now. Greetz Erwin
Makes me miss home..great video Matt!
As a biker and a surfer, this video really hit home. Good stuff Matt. Thanks for sharing some of that southern Californian culture!
Thanks for watching !
Awesome place Matt! Great video!
looks like a great ride. Going to have to put that on my list. Never been to Neptunes net. Food looks good😋 👍🏻👍🏻🏍
Hey Matt, thanks so much for the cool video. I really think it is easy to get lost in the production value, the sights and scenes, and not fully appreciate the camera work and editing you do. I'm from Ohio and have not been out to California, so these videos are especially cool. I appreciate your work. Thanks.
I appreciate you pointing that out haha. Between filming and post production work I probably have about 17 hours into this video.
Congrats man, on a very nice video!
Well put together dude, I enjoyed that , thank you !
Thanks man
Great place, and super video. I’d love to ride there some day👌🤟😎
Awesome video of great scenery an´great bike roads!
Keep em´coming sir!
Thank you! Always appreciate the comments.
Matt Laidlaw Thank you, sir! I'll always appreciate your work!!!
Love this video. Makes me miss SOCAL in a big way. I also notice you listen to a lot of KROQ-my all time favorite radiostation.
+Matt Laidlaw - Great video! I'd love to see more from you in this style. Maybe you could record a ride to Newcomb's Ranch and/or Bouquet Canyon? Both have great twisties and excellent scenery. Have a good one.
I need to do Newcombs again soon. I've never done bouquet canyon before.
I’m from England and as a guest in your great country and state Angeles Crest / highway 2 in imho one THE great roads . I’ve ridden it many , many times and it always teaches me something new about ridding . See you up there at Newcombes sometime ⚡️❤️
Too dang good video Matt.... best ! Miss the old days where outing in Neptune nest was fun n meeting many bike enthusiasts n more... this F**ing covid screwed us big time last year n years ahead. Great video !!!
What awesome 😎 video ! Please do more of these type of videos
I plan to. 👍🏻
Great vid Matt, I love that part of the country and the drone shots really put things into prospective. Hope the fires out there get stopped sooner rather than later. 👍🤟
I'll stay fly it when it's illegal.
Cool, I'm glad people are liking the drone shots.
Matt Laidlaw 👍👍👍
I use to ride there all the time when I lived in Los Angeles
Awesome vid! Thanks Matt
Matt your HD filming is awesome love the footage and the music 🎵 keep up the great vlogs I really enjoy them especially when I can’t ride!.. Thanks...
Hi Matt, really sunny and relaxt video. Very well edit. The music makes me feel like an SoCal biker. Now, inspired... i take my night train and drive some bavarian ways here at home. BTW, i think i go changing to the Touring Bike Guys. RG oder SG. I will see next few month. Greetz an thx for that damn cool video. See ya.
Thanks for watching as always my friend. You can't go wrong with a SG or RG
On my 3rd Roadglide, just can't seem to get away from them, currently riding a 2018 Roadglide Ultra and I had the detachable tour kit installed, it gives me the option of riding without the tourpack when I'm just in the neighborhood and the bike feels so much lighter and easier to handle, and being it's the Ultra I get all the benefits of a soft comfortable ride 😊
I think this is my fav Laidlaw video bro. Cool to see california from a riders eye over here in New Zealand. 👌
The videos just keep getting better! Keep up the good work!
We've got great roads here in VA, but we certainly don't have the car/bike culture or iconic destinations you have there. Wish we did! Looks like everyone is having a great time!
Luvin the footage and the HDs all the way from Edinburg Harley Davidson keep up the good work Matt and the team ✌️
You stepped your game up! Everything is awesome especially the music and editing. I really enjoy it because I live in Detroit and I remember the trip I took from 2016 to all those spots.
Awesome video Matt!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks
One of your best vlogs - AWESOME - A video to watch more than once!
I am going to quit my job, leave the East coast and hang out with you all! Never seen so many bikes together except the Memorial Day in DC.
Great video Mr. Laidlaw
Wow amazing matt!!
