America Is Beautiful
America The Beautiful
Great Footage
That's right Daniel!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
That was rad, makes us want to go again RIGHT NOW!!!! Keep up the great videos dudes!
Thanks! Will do! And Lets go!
I'm with ya brothers, it's ALL ABOUT THAT BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN FLAG, IT'S HISTORY AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR!
And Harley-Davidson!
Ye agree on that one! 👍👍
As a rider in NC who loves my Blue Ridge Parkway, Smoky Mountains and Eastern USA riding (Maine to Fla and everywhere in between) I am always envious of you west coast/central US riders and the amazing roads and scenery you have the privilege to enjoy.
We do have some great riding out here. We would really enjoy trying the Blue Ridge Parkway and others out there. It's a goal of ours to make our way east.
@@2LaneLife well if you ever do be sure to let us east coasters know!!! Im in Charlotte kind of center of the east side of US but have ridden every state east of the Mississippi. Our scenery is more green but less flat so its less wide open. I usually do solo trips to see friends and family and mostly camp. Would be kewl to meet up along your way. Stay well and ride safe!!!
@@1twistedcpl6575 We'll definitely be making our way east again. We were there a couple of weeks ago, riding from Milwaukee to Maine, exploring some great 2Lanes and tons of history. That series will be coming out very soon!
Ride safe 🤘
I’m hopefully going to be making a trip down south this coming year Twisty. TN and NC then back north to good ole PA.
Love the Motorbikes Love the American Flag God Bless
Thanks Michael! We love our flag and what she stands for! God bless!!
Great Vid! Zion on a Motorcycle is maybe the Best 25 miles in America! Riding HD's with a group of Good Boys is simply EPIC!
We do love us some Southern Utah! Glad you enjoyed!!👍👍
Wow guys just stumbled upon your channel how awesome must it be to live in the USA 🇺🇸 own a harley and cruise roads and see scenery like that brilliant life and hey great channel
Thank you for the support and welcome to our family! Stay tuned for more and go check out some of the older Vlogs if you haven’t done so already.
Will be doing this exact ride in a few weeks! So stoked.
Awesome!! It's a great time for sure! Thanks for watching, Michael 🤘
the heat gremlins are gettin ya! great vlog!
Happens to the best of us! Thanks for tuning in!
Took my wife through Zion's on Labor Day on my '18 Road King. The views are beyond amazing. Highly recommend it to anyone on a bike.
Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks for sharing. We love it too!~
Zion is beautiful - hiked it extensively in the 90's - God got busy with the paintbrush there. Lake Powell is a photographers playground. If you get a chance to do a boat/camping trip up through Powell, it is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
@@MonkeyFreeZone "God got busy with the paintbrush"😂 couldn't have said it any better. Zion really is an amazing place. Powell is definitely on the list! Planning some sort of trip/episode there down the line. Might have to switch the bikes out for jet ski's for an episode or two. Thanks for watching
Started following your channel when I found the Route 66 ongoing journey and I'm so happy I found it. What an amazing video and ride!! Bike camaraderie and community resumed in 36ms. Brilliant guys, you rock!! 👍👍
Glad to hear it, Nelio! Thanks for checking out the channel. Plenty more where that came from, it's always a good time out on the road 👍
Winter time here, dreaming of future Motorcycle adventures, really enjoying your Videos!
Thanks Mike, glad you like our content.
Monument valley .... just unique!
👍👍 agreed!!
Rob & the 10, funny stuff
😂
You guys just rode in some of the best desert scenery there is. I have family in Page, Arizona and I am fortunate to ride in that area often🤘🇺🇸🤘 Hopefully, I will see you down the road 🇺🇸
Agreed! That is one of our favorites for sure. If you haven't seen it, we did a whole video series documenting Page, AZ. Local businesses, historians, workers at the dam, great riding etc. Page has become one of our favorite towns.
Here's one of our favorites from the series: ua-cam.com/video/qfmBiyO23Cc/v-deo.htmlsi=vRYzl9MlRO-J3Krs
Never thought I'd make it to ride the western states from PA till 3 years ago no I'm riding west 3 years in a row . Everyone needs to experience the western states on 2 wheels.
That's awesome!! Yes they do! Everyone needs to get out and see as many states as possible. Always great riding in new scenery 👍👍
Thanks for watching Keith!
Loved it. Lance is the man
Ride on! Thanks for checking it out Isaac!
Love watching you guys! I hope the white claw thing is a joke tho. lol
Thanks for watching, Daniel!! Haha we went through a short white claw phase...we're not proud of it🤘
@@2LaneLife LOL!! At least now you know. haha
Great video guys. I don’t ride but I loved the trip, I’ll say it again Ain’t America great when they don’t burn it down, Stay safe.
These Blogs are for anyone and everyone! Thank you for commenting on the fact you’re not a rider. Enjoy our travels and maybe one day you might ride. America is great! Thanks for the support and comments. Stay safe...Stay Inspired!
Bad ass dudes. I felt like I was on the trip

Heading out on a road trip tomorrow...I'm excited!!! Great video guys!
Nice! It's a great time to do it...but when isn't. Have a great trip Dane!
@@2LaneLife thanks fellas!!!
The bit and spur is our favorite restaurant! Trish the owner is amazing, and as a local, we love seeing others enjoy what we get to see everyday. Make sure and stop by the Hirschi Produce stand the next time your in Rockville and see The Red Dort Farmer!
Definitely a great stop whenever we're in the area! Such a great vibe, and a relaxing way to end the day. We hope to make it through Springdale again very soon.
Thanks for watching, Trevor 👍
Good job boys.
We appreciate it Darek!!
I was in Zion last week. It was amazing!! Stayed in Page Az. Good central location for all the parks.
It always is! Such a great time riding and exploring Zion. Thanks for watching, Charles 👍
Great footage on riding on the interstate!
I am riding with you!
Thanks Searcher!!
Thanks great video I guess just never been group Rider but appreciate effort
Thanks Jim. We like having a rider or two with us. Makes for a great time.
LOL! Yup, improvise on the tools!

Awesome ride, thanks for share
You got it, thanks for checking it out. Part 3 is coming tomorrow. We'll be hanging out and riding around Sturgis
I just stumbled across your channel and had to sub. What a great pack of bikes. I love finding channels I can relate too
Thanks for the support! We love sharing our rides with likeminded people 🤘🏼
Truly good stuff, it´s like I´m there.
Awesome! Great to hear Fredrik! Thanks for the support 🤘
Plenty more videos where that came from. We also have a blog section on our website with info from all of our rides, like maps, eats, stays, history etc..
Ride safe!

New subscriber here, a rider from Alberta Canada. I've spent many a winter in St. George, UT. Love the area. I've been to most of the spots you pointed out. Been through the Virgin River Gorge and Zion about 25 times. Beautiful scenery.
Nice! Thanks for the sub Freddie. It sure is a great area, especially during the winter time!
Awesome video buddy, ❤️
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.👍👍
Wish I had more adventurous riding buddies. Awesome!
We have a great group! Hope you enjoyed!
Great video. Nice to see You guys stopping to smell the roses so to speak. It truly is about the journey not a Destiination. But it sometimes can be difficult to pace yourself like that. Great job looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Frank. We do enjoy the journey on our rides. Thanks for the comment and Enjoy!
Looking to do an Fl to CA trip in 2021. So happy to have seen this channel! Great content.
That'll make for an awesome ride with plenty of great stops along the way! Thanks for watching Ronnie 👍
A_++ video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment Jerry! 👍👍
Awesome video
Thanks BellsRides!
You guys ever notice the Old "Stage Stops" along some of the highways? Seen several in my travels down there. They use to space them about every 15 - 20 miles or so, to change out the horses, and give the passengers a rest, food, overnight if needed, pick up mail, passengers etc.... .. A days ride by Wells Fargo of Butterfield coach could reach 60+ on a good day. Regards
Right there at 35.25 where the San Juan river bridge and motel meet in Mexican Hat, there was a sulfur hauler that came thru too fast and crashed into the canyon wall. It was a bad truck accident. If you look closely at the rock wall, you can still see patches of the yellow sulfur. This happened back when truck brakes frequently failed.
That's gnarly! We actually heard a truck crash in a similar spot by the bridge while we were hangin' on the balcony that night. We heard a super loud bang and some rubble, and a bunch of other people staying at the hotel came outside to see what happened. Gotta stay safe out there!
Thanks for watching SublimeSubdue 🤘🏼
Badass!
Hey Aaron! Hope all is well! Thanks for the comment!
One of the best vlogs you have done so far, great to see all having a ball, and showing the reality of a true road trip, stunning footage guys !
Thanks Merritt! We had a blast and the group enjoyed the journey! Thanks for the support!!
That was amazing I have never been to that part of the Country and it just shows how truly amazing the United States is thank you for the great video cant wait for part 2
It really is an amazing part of the country, and we're glad to have made it out there and share it. Thanks for tuning in Cathy! We appreciate the support 🇺🇸. Next episode coming in just under 2 hours
Great vid 🤙
Thanks MrPato, glad you enjoyed 👌🏼
Wow ! What a trip, what a scenery, what quality of footage ... and what a heat! Amazing. Waiting for the sequence. Greetings from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Thanks for watching Paulo! We had fun capturing the footage, it's awesome to see people watching in other countries. More coming in 2 days
Awesome as always, can’t wait for next week!! Lance is right, F**k is the best word in the dictionary, so many uses!! 🤣🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
such a versatile word!😂 Thanks for tuning in, next week is gonna be a good one!
Oh yeah, Cliff stay back from those cliffs..it was making my toes curl!!
Right! Well we had to get the shot! 😂😂
Michigan fam with the corn 🌽 😂
Right! What a wealth of knowledge. We had a similar discussion about the sweet onion in Walla Walla Washington last year! Thanks for the support.
Oh yes, very good.. I know when I see one of y'all's video's in my notifications that it'll be good stuff..and I am looking forward to the next one! Thanks guys 👍👍🍻
Thanks Swift Caution! We appreciate the comment and support!!👍👍
Man that looked like a good time, thanks for posting.
Always a good time out on the 2Lanes! Thanks for watching, more coming next week
Wish I could have seen you all in sturgis. I never miss one. Already getting excited for the 81st!! You going this year? Ride on and be safe.
Yes, we are definitely going this year.
@@2LaneLife Hola!!!! Just found you guys' channel. Apparently my husband has been watching you guys though for a bit! I dig you guys riding style, no bullshit, beautiful scenery, chill vibes! We went to sturgis last year, and are def going again this year! Looking to plan a ride almost just like this one you guys did! We're out of Long Beach Ca. We got a group of 4 going. Just a lil background, hubby is fireman/paramedic and Im a ER nurse, so getting "away from it all" is what we're about. Would love if we could pick you guys' brains for some info about routes, if that's possible. Last year we rode up to wyoming to meet up with family then cut across wyoming to SD. Looking to do something different this year! Dont know how to message, but Ive just followed on IG. Hope to hear from yall!
@@Fallonmock What's up Fallon! That's awesome you guys both have been enjoying the channel, we appreciate the support! Also, thanks for what you guys do!
Sturgis is one of our favorite rides and it's always a good time just getting on the road seeing rad stuff with a group. We've taken a few different routes over the years so we're happy to help out and answer a few questions for ya! Just shoot an email over to gaylin@2lanelife.com and we'll get ya covered 👍👍
Again, thanks for the support, we're stoked to hear you two are diggin' the vibes!
Epic ride!
Ride on!
Damn... looks like a good time. To bad we didn’t see yah on our way to the 80th from L.A. area.... would have been cool!
It was a great time for sure! Catch you next year 👍🏼
Great video guys, looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip!
Thanks William! We're excited to share 🇺🇸
Really cool you put the highway numbers in the corner - haven't seen that in any other videos.
thank you, we think its a cool thing
That’s awesome!
Thanks Tool Brothers! We appreciate it!
Cinematography is fantastic. Big difference from first vids this year
Thanks Michael! We've upgraded a few things since we started! Enjoy!
I love this video! There is lots of motorcycle riding shots and beautiful scenery. There’s no hand-held mics so the guys look more like bikers than news reporters (though I wasn’t prepared for the missing beard, lol). This was just a really excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed it!! The handheld mics will probably be retired soon. RIP to the 2lane reporters haha. See ya down the road!
Great vlog! Thanks for posting! That was fun to watch! Safe travels. :)
Thanks Rachel, we enjoyed filming it too. Thanks for the support!
so damn informative!
Thank you! 👍👍
Because nothing says hydration break like White Claw, LOL!
right, lol
Love watching your videos over here in the UK 💪🏻👍🏻 ! So ride safe and keep the videos coming 😊🇬🇧👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for tuning in TJ! More on the way!🎥
2LaneLife awesome I can’t wait 👍🏻
Orale wat up Homies, loved yr route I took the million dollar highway to Sturgis, the glacier park and Yellowstone, in Reno now then rolling back to the 818SFV!! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO 👍
That’s a great run too! Ride safe Johnny! Thanks for the comment!
Very jealous. In lockdown over the other side of the world in Melbourne Australia. Great scenery and bikes. Have a safe run.
Thank you for the comment and support. Stay Safe....Stay Inspired!!!👍👍
Am New Sub Great Video Guys and Love The Bikes...Maybe in 2022 Will Go To Sturgis....BTW Was Stationed at Hill AFB,Utah Many Years Ago Beautiful State.
Thanks for tuning in and for the sub Chaltaloma! Sturgis is great, definitely recommended when you can make it!
We love Utah too!
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸👍
Awesome video, Zion was just incredible, dig you’s Thrashing dudes,
looking forward to the next video run into Sturgis
Cheers Andrew from down under 👍
Thanks for the support! Zion is really something else. it never gets old. Thanks for the support, more coming on Wednesday 🤘🏼
Nice going guys, I'm not hating it but I couldn't finish the vid due to my vid fatigue of hundreds of these group rides to Sturgis. It was fun for me too in the '80s by meself.
That water comes out of the lower part of the dam. It's cold in the summer!
It sure is! Nothing like some fresh cool water on a hot summer day!
Thanks for watching Glenn
Great effort putting this video together. Most of youtubers ignore the kind of information you covered about the roads, stops and destinations. Maybe more on the roads in future. Keep it up guys 👌👍
Thanks MJ Motors. We sure try and we will take into consideration more on the roads!
White Claws 🤔😳😂🤣
😂😂😂 when in Rome
You need a Thrashin Supply / Two Lane Life rule on any ride, for any rider. Lose your hat, and you buy the first round of beer for everyone in the group at the next stop.
Hahahah that's a given😂🤘
Awesome video guys.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
New subscriber! Just found your channel you really have a great channel can’t wait to watch the videos. Keep them coming they’re great.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing Big Al! We appreciate the comments and support! Enjoy!
Looks like a great ride. I would do it by myself though because I am an outcast and I hate people.
It was a great ride! Sometimes we’re out on our own as well. Thanks for watching!
Did you guys run across a bike wreck on 12 east near Bryce Canyon UT? The guy was lucky to get off before he hit the Airstream camper. Stay safe?
We didn't see it, but that doesn't sound good. Hopefully he's all good!
Watching this after watching your sturgis live this year and remembering the shaving beard discussion with Lance Sr......don’t shave it man
haha not gonna happen!
Great ride, great bikes, great guys. Lots of fun riding together like that. One suggestion, don't grab-ass while your riding alongside each other. Good way to wreck the other guy.
Thanks for the comment a Samuel. We appreciate your support and concern for our riding. Stay well!!👍👍
24:47 ya missed on😂
Right....👍👍🤘🤘
5 people didnt like the vid. Because their wifes didnt let them go!!
We can’t please them all. Hope you enjoyed it! 🤘🤘
hahaha it's true
@@2LaneLife definitelly enjoy it, thank you for sharing
👍👍
I wanna do this!
It's an amazing journey and experience! We'll be leaving again for Sturgis 2021 in just a few days!
👍👍
@@2LaneLife I see this before I submitted vacation request for the year so I only have a few 4-day weekends planned this year. A Zion trip or something.. Until then I'll be waiting for the video! Ride safe and enjoy!
@@carolyneakili1 Zion is a great place to explore! Thanks Carolyne, we're excited to capture the trip! Ride safe 🤘
I got a speeding ticket near Kayenta by a Navajo Indian Cop. 55mph on 160 with nothing for 100 miles. He got me doin 65. Put on my Chief Wahoo Ballcap, maybe he thought I was racist or something. Anyway, I see him getting a cold drink at my next stop, he wasn’t very cordial. This was back in the early 80’s. I miss riding out there.
It happens! A cool place to explore for sure🤘
So many claw breaks! Gotta keep that blood thin!
Haha we're workin in it! Thanks for watching Lee 🤘
Good PM famous and wonderful HARLEY RIDER,,, if have spare time could pls. Tell me which hotel u gentleman stay @ ZION??? Tnx much to ur none stop amazing video. Hope someday I’ll meet u @ sturgis.
The Navajo are now calling themselves the Dine'. It means "The People."
Cool videos, but your boys drinking White Claws? Did you pick up tampons when you stopped, too?
Whoa. I just a thing😂😂
White claw party for the ladies!
You called that right. 😂😂
Two lane blacktops. Been taking them everywhere for 47 years now.
Nothing to see on the superslab.
You got that right! Glad your enjoy as much as we do! Thanks Jersey J!
You guys are going to think I'm a pathological liar when I tell you I taught high school math at Monument Valley High school. I used to drive that road everyday to work from Blanding to the school. It was 68 miles of peaceful reflection time for me.
Val
Awesome! Yes we enjoyed that part of the trip! Thanks for the comment Val! Glad we flulike trigger a good memory for you. 👍👍
I have no idea, CA 🤣😂
The best place to be 😂🤘
Episode 1 of our 2021 Sturgis Run drops today!
Thanks for watching, Brandon!
And remember...the only difference between nowhere and now here, is a little space..
Ride safe!
Exelelent video!!! Wonderful trip!!! Are u guys going this year too?
Thanks for watching Rolandas! We sure are! Can't wait for the journey 👍👍
Would love to join you!!!! Is it possible? Thank You
@@ronpro3600 We may try and organize a meet up while we're out there. Stay tuned 👍
@@2LaneLife I live in Los Angeles and was wondering if it’s possible to join you for the ride to Surgis?
Josh need to trade that bike in for a touring bike. I have to give him respect though going on long trips like that on a small bike.
He's made it work pretty well after installing hard bags and a few other things, but nothing beats a real touring bike like a Road Glide. We'll talk him into it one day 😎
Very nice post production (color correction, cutting to the music, etc) but needs more drone shots 😀
Thanks G Randy! We try and do the best we can. Drone shoots we definitely great and fun to film. Stay tuned for more!
@@2LaneLife I recently bought a 2003 GL1800 after not riding for 27 years...proudly graduated from the parking lot to the neighbord streets to my 1st 2 up with my wife last week for lunch. I'm a semi retired video production guy with a few camera rigs that I'd like to contribute to your options if interested 😀
@@CrystalClearNM Awesome to hear! Nothing like getting back out on two wheels! We'll definitely be updating some cameras down the line!
Thanks for the support G Randy 👍
Love your videos! What seat are you guys riding? I have a Harley Hammock on my 2017 Street glide and not impressed. You guys put some serious miles on your bikes and have yet to see you complain about being sore. Keep posting your videos, inspires me to put more miles on my bike!
Awesome! Thanks for tuning in. Glad you like the vids, we'll keep them coming! For longer rides like this, we rock the Saddlemen Road Sofa Seats. They make quite the difference compared to the alternatives, and they definitely live up to their name! You can check them out on our site here (2lanelife.com/collections/seats/products/saddlemen-road-sofa-seat). They also make a lattice stitched version, it all depends on preference 👌🏼
And for our Day to day and without a passenger we run the Saddlemen Slim LS. We have a combined 150k miles on them.
Looking at purchasing a modular helmet, I currently wear a FF shoei GT Air. I see you guys wear the Bell SRT. How do you like them? Do they flow air pretty good? Do you recommend the Bell, or do you want to change to a different brand/model?
@@kencasper5807 The modulars are great. Of course, not as quiet as a standard helmet (slightly more wind noise), but totally worth it in our opinion. We've been rockin' bell for a long time and don't see that changing any time soon. The SRT's are comfy, they look great, and they make the photochromic visor for them. They also have the internal slide-down lens which comes in handy.
Our video guy Josh was a diehard shoei guy, and had been using the RF1200 for years. He borrowed an SRT for Sturgis, and never looked back😂. Let us know if you have any other Q's, we'd love to help you out. We have the SRT's on our site as well at 2lanelife.com 🇺🇸
What is the name of the band playing at 17:04 onwards ?? Excellent video !
John D. Lee (Lee’s Ferry) was the only Mormon executed for the Mountain Meadows Massacre, where 140 pioneers were headed to California and were talked into giving up their guns by Mormons and then everyone older than 6 were massacred
Thanks for the history Dean.
Wondering is my 800cc suzuki c50 will make it 1200 miles or I need a bigger size motor
Josh did 1200 on his 700cc Yamaha FZ07. Really more about your personal comfort and how much time you take.
Thx alot
It'll take you as far as your willing to sit and the seat and twist the throttle. Id just stick around 65 and cruise
Loved the ride. Hey one of your guys had a street glide with tee bars is there a way I could get some info on that?
Glad you enjoyed the ride. Give us a call. 1-818-207-7084
