- The Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson crew takes a multi-day road trip into Yosemite National Park. They experience some heat getting there but the payoff is an epic day in one of the most beautiful national parks in the U.S. Check out the sights and the bikes as they make their way up the 395 into Mammoth and then Yosemite.

“Moisture is the essence of wetness.” Cracked me up.
I finally went to Yosemite a few years ago and the whole time I was wishing we were on the bike. Gotta experience that kinda of nature by being in the nature, not looking through glass.
I love my hydration vest here in Vegas. Get a Harley cooler bag and put it in your saddle bag with water and ice. Every time you stop, put vest back in that cooler bag till you're ready to go
They work. Period.
I need that in Phoenix! How long does it keep you cool before having to wet it again?
@@Cregar1 the Harley ones are thin. I got mine off Amazon and at over 100 degrees and 80moh 90 minutes with no problems. Down side you can't anything in your pants pocket. You'll be soaked from the shoulders to mid thigh but it's worth it in this heat
How blessed our SoCal Harley riders to have the rides here. Yosemite is probably one of the tops. Ride Safe 🤙🏼
We got options !
There are many places out there I want to ride
Who the f*** would thumb down this video? I got so adventure sick watching this. Thanks Matt. Loved it.
I need a trip like that.
Everybody needs a trip like this .
The bike which Andrew was riding was the best looking one. That black and chrome... 😍😍
Nobody ever told me there was such a thing called a hydration vest. Nice bikes and nice scenery.
wife and rode down 395 from wa st. went into Yosemite. cant remember the year, it was the hottest weather ever recorded inside the park. we rode out the west side. next morning told my wife we are not stopping until we get too the Pacific Ocean.
Your choice of music over the course the video is fantastic. A+
Thanks! I wanted something that captured the trip and scenery and something that was universally liked.
Doesn't get much better than this !!!
2016 i fly from Sweden to LA! Rented a street Glide for 3 weeks. THE street Glide took me around all of California 3850 km. And a Short stay in Vegas Nevada. But My greatest memory is Yosemite ❤️🤠 next time i have to Bring My wife . Hard to explain Yosemite!
Just went up the 120 a week ago. I rolled over Sonora Pass l, south on 395. I didn’t go to the park but fished Ellery Lake you passed on way to park. I also ate at the Whoa Nellie Deli inside the Mobil gas station right at the 120/395 junction. Next time y’all roll up ya should try eating at that place. This video was fun to watch! It’s in my back yard basically!
Great looking trip from SoCal. I did in in 1995 on a new FLHR from Louisville KY. Little bit longer ride but I was young and adventurous. Now I'm old but I still have the Road King.
I really enjoy this and realize that America is one of the most beautiful countries by nature, I share the height of this beautiful vlog
Thank You.. Beautiful thing to watch.. On one of my to do list.. Long ways from the middle of the country..
I know California really well and live nearish Yosemite, but I think it was very cool how you showed the route you took to get to Yosemite. Good job.
Hi Matt, greetings from Victoria, Australia. Thank you for that incredible video!!!! We're in Australia so we know what heat is but having ridden in Pheonix Sept 2017 we REALLY know what heat is !!!!!!
Every few years i make it out to June lake , and Lee vining. Feel right at home , the dialouge and discription in your videos Matt compliment the beauty that are the high sierras
Thanks man. Hopefully I don’t get too cheesy.
A dream. Thanks for taking us with. Beautiful landscape. Greetings from a very rainy and stormy Germany this year.
👍
Great video, thanks for taking us along.
What do you think Sportster S? Huge jump air cooled to liquid cooled. Looks bad ass. No stage 4 needed, just bags and windscreen! Good job Harley
What an awesome video. Man you should have your own show on TV I swear. Great job and pleasure to watch as always.
Let’s go! 💨
Let's go!!
I dont know whats worse listenening to irish fiddle music or listening to matt laidlaw!
And yet here you are watching….
Those bikes combined with those trips are the life. I would really like to own one.
Absolutely loved this. Been on the upper road with my lowrider many years ago. Brought back many memories of rides across country with my best riding buddy. Haven't done a road trip for several years now because of declining health. Heart surgery this Friday and if I make it through plan on Yosemite next year on my Tri-Glide. Thank you for this great video and long live Harley Davidson trips.
Been to Yosemite a couple of times, love it, definite bucket list experience...loved the video, as a retired cameraman with over 25 years experience, great operating, cutting, and music, exceptional...one of best travel vids I've seen...loved it.
Coming from someone who’s been doing it longer than me, I appreciate the compliment.
Matt, you should win am award for that video. One of the best motorcycle travel videos I've ever seen. And thanks for sharing your beautiful state with an old east coaster that will probably never get experience it.
Awesome video. What an amazing ride. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
One of your best video yet! I ordered a cooling vest. I wish that I had it when I went to Nashville-102 degrees🥵
My Beautiful Wifey and I watched the whole video together and really enjoyed it. We are inspired to make Yosemite our first BIG RIDE. Thank you very much Matt and your Team
You’ll love it. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼
@@MattLaidlaw *Yeah but even @ 💯 degrees it’s still **#HOT**‼️* 🥵
Another great video Matt. Made me want to jump on my bike and ride! Andrew to Funny Brother! Always enjoying life!
Bought a hydration vest for me and the wifey to combat the Central Valley heat. They work!
Love the paint on that Dyna..... the rider is quite cute as well !
Awesome trip and vid. Great reminder to stop by Laidlaws to pick up a hydration vest.
Good to see you put off SEKI (Sequoia/Kings Canyon) for another trip. SEKI usually takes longer than planned.
Thx for the trip down memory lane of those great Sierras. You guys are awesome.
Thanks for watching !
Awesome video! Matt Laidlaw saying you meet the nicest people on a Honda while standing next to a goldwing was pretty good to. 👍🏽
Matt, you guys visited my backyard Yosemite! I grew up outside of Fresno and I can't tell you the hundreds of times I've visited our National Park! Great trip! Thank you for sharing!
If I lived close I’d be there all the time. 👍🏼
I could have spent a lot more time there.
@@MattLaidlaw Just plan a trip with the family or your pals and do the Sequoia Kings Canyon ride through. Either through Visalia up and around and go visit General Sherman the Nations Christmas Tree and come out 180 west ei down to Fresno. Or from Yosemite down the 41 and east 180 through Kings Canyon out to Visalia!
That 36 minutes of sauce was awesome.
Great trip and video. That RKS in Deadwood Green looks really great on the road, much better than HD site pics for that color.
Thanks, Matt. My favorite place on Earth, and I haven’t been in 20 years. Seeing your view from the bike absolutely made my day. Love it.
Such a beautiful place. You need to go back 20 years is too long. Thanks for watching.
Matt knows its time, I know its time, and you know its time. I want to see a reply to this post in the next year with a link to your IG with Yosemite photos from your trip. We are on the earth for these reasons.
This shit is just epic! I like the way you see things and articulate your vision.
@Matt Laidlaw, thanks for yet another great video. I recently retired got a bike and pick I NG up where I left off 37 years ago... Life is good. May you all be blessed in your travels my friends 👍😎
Man that guy is funny had me laughing out loud all the way from Melbourne Australia!
Outstanding!! and great video!! real thx 🙏 we can't wait for the next video, we are always enjoying your video. Suprb job Matt as usual.
Andrew is buck wild 😜 definitely enjoy his energy! Excellent views and videography! Superb job Matt! 🤘🏾
Thank you brother!!! 👍🏽👍🏽
I was born and raised in Fresno. I've been to the park hundreds of times and it never loses its magic! There's just something about it? I've rode, drove and hiked all over the park! I know you were pressed for time but Glaicer point is a spot you should of taken in.
The hydration vests are life savers in the heat! I've used them for years but they don't work as well here in Florida with the high humidity.
Great video!
Yea, I wish we could have done glacier point. We just didn't have the time to ride in and hike. Next time I'll do it for sure
Glacier Point Road is getting a complete rebuild and widening. Lots of closures, delays, and construction surfaces. Should be reopened by summer of 2022.
Riding 110 miles in 105 degree Heat and those vest still being damp?
That's extremely impressive. I figured those things would have dried out in 20 minutes.
Really enjoying this Matt….thanks for the scenery and great music.
Thanks for watching !
I'm still saving for my first motorcycle but can't wait to do awesome trips like this. Thank you! Gonna be an iron 883.
Here in vegas I have my road king in the garage. Cant do it in this heat but damn I want to.
Great video! Can't wait to see more!
Can’t wait to go there someday!
Really enjoyed this video. Perfect combination to enjoy nature and Harley Davidson at the same time.
Matt! I'm 58, at my age my bucket list is supposed to be getting smaller, you keep adding to it!
Sorry man. 😁 I can have that effect on people. Sounds like you need to start crossing items off the list.
Enjoying your trip videos, live in Australia so nice to see the iconic US landscapes. Nice looking at the Harley's too!
Nice!! Should be on Netflix.
Good time & ride for sure...people need to get out and see all the amazing places in this country of ours and experience it with there own eyes . It's amazing
Vicariously riding from the Philippines, good stuff Matt. Many many thanks!!
From Lisbon, Portugal. Spectacular this video.
The landscapes that Yosemite National Park shows us in this video are of extraordinary beauty, it's American beauty in all its splendor, without a doubt.
I like the purple T-Sport better than any of them. A 2001 T-Sport was the best touring Harley I ever owned. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow,,,,what a great video!!! I know you spent a lot of time and effort on it. Absolutely perfect.
My wife and I drove our motor home there a few years ago. Had to go in the west side because east side was still 40 feet of snow! Luckily I called before we tried to go in the east side. Just a wonderful place, I missed not being on my motorcycle , but staying there in your RV and doing the bus tours was a great way to see the park and listen to the history from our guide.
Yea, I’d love to spend more time in there. Going in a motor home would be awesome.
Wow, what awesome footage of Yosemite 👌🏽! What a beautiful park, an extremely lucky place to be able to ride a bike through...💯%👌🏽👍🏽✌🏽😎🇦🇺...
Annie, Australia. 2016 BMW S1000R, Owner...
Real nice trip and glad you guys had so much fun……….👍
That is what I would like to do for the rest of my life. Ride a Harley-Davidson through these incredible landscapes… Greetings from Spain!
You and me both.
That's what messed up our day visit spend more time looking for parking than actually visiting too many people
🛑🛑 Matt…probably one of the “best bike adventure” videos that I have ever seen on UA-cam💯👍.
It is really great, how you can spend time with your team at Laidlaw’s where everyone gets along; and enjoys each other’s company😀👍.
This video and camaraderie indicates the “family atmosphere” that is present at Laidlaw Harley Davidson👍.
Great Job…😀👍🍺
I really appreciate the comment. Yes, we have a good time riding together. Thank you for taking the time to leave the comment.
The place i work was amazing in that way. everyone got along. People even came in 1.5 hours before their shift just do they had time to hang out before work. We got bought by another company. They did not like that there were 40+year employees. Triple generations worked there, since 1926. The new company's philosophy was to have strife amongst the ranks. No joke. It took them 5 years. Now most people are gone. Nobody likes coming to work and everyone dislikes each other.
@@whatyoumakeofit6635
I worked at a plant where everyone was always comparing “themselves” to “the next guy”.
If you bought a new car or new bike, people became jealous, and “god forbid” if they found out what they cost.
I started driving an old “beater” pick up truck (never took my bike to work) just to “ keep folks from going crazy”😂👍
Thanks for sharing, Matt. What a beautiful country…God’s country…for sure.
Lake Tahoe cabin trip with the crew next please. Those twisties as you go into Tahoe will get the blood going too.
Well done Matt,lovely video, I watched it on my 50 inch Screen, great photography
Epic voice over! Awesome content as usual. 👌🏻
the perspective of that group shot makes you out to be a giant among dwarves!
Haha. I’m kinda tall.
Matt has real talent putting together his videos. This is his best and the music he chose is top drawer.
Thank you my friend. 🤙🏼
Went through the park 20 years ago solo on my road king on the way to street vibrations. Brought back lots of memories. Guess I need to to do it again on my 2020 CVO Road Glide. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Nice. That’s would be a great ride.
Beautiful place! I can see why so many folks visit the park. One day I'll ride my Harley through that beautiful park. Thanks for posting.
If someone mentioned this already, please forgive me but there is a road that takes you up to Glacier Point. It’s only open from spring-Fall. It has THE MOST epic views of Half Dome. It’s off Wawona Road near Indian Creek. It climbs and climbs and is surreal. Did it on my FXR back in 2015 at the end of a x country trip. Best way to end it. Cheers Matt
That Denny's in Bishop was the same one I stopped at on my ride from Sacramento to San Diego 4 years ago.
Awesome birthday cake shake.
I’ll be sure to get the shake next time
I am growing passionately for motorcycles and have stumbled onto this video and glad I watched. Truly top notch production value here. Nice job and thank you for putting it together!
Did Yosemite and Sequoia this past May on 1500 GWing solo, outta Tucson. Fricking epic- highly recommend.
AWESOME MR. MATT THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Fun. You guys should do a few more of this type of ride.
I agree. It’s just finding the time.
That’s a great trip with wonderful camera shots , plus on a HD , Andrew is a beast
Great job on the video, fantastic views and with the right amount of motorcycles mixed in. I wish the park wasn’t 3,000 miles away from me. 😎😎
Just a weekend trip but a lifetime of memories!
That’s right! Best to live the weekend in a memorable way instead of a forgettable way.
Well Matt, I believe that this is the best cinematic video that you've done so far. You've really upped your skills in both stories and videos.
The only flaw is that you didn't give yourselves enough time but with everyone working, I get it. Life is so short so make the most of it with your friends and family.
I still have you on my bucket list to somehow drive to Laidlaw's for a T-shirt and a visit.
God bless....
Your videos are top notch. I have been to Yosemite many times in a car but that changes the June when I ride my blacked out Ultra Limited I got from you. You gave me the send off in the rain. It was a pleasure dealing with the Laidlaw family. Keep up the great videos.
Harley - Davidson Number 1.🌎🏍🇺🇸🦅
#Freedom.🗽❤
Your videos are amazing! I never watch tv however I watch you on UA-cam over and over again! I love my Harley!
Thank you so much for your post. When I was young I spent a lot of time in the park. We lived at the Spingwheel ranch just off of Hwy 120. Be safe and Blessed
Matt you and the gang make the best video's
Keep them coming
Thanks Matt & gang great video .Collect my PA here in UK this week and now I know I need to save up some money to ride it in Yosemite. Hate to see you guys riding with bare arms so you take it easy out there.
Fantastic video ! Great footage on park especially riding a Harley. From a fellow Harley rider who has always wonted to visit . The only way to see this amazing area.Even the wife enjoyed watching . Greetings from Australia!
Another excellent production.....Professional grade content, camera work, commentary, etc. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Planning to take this ride on my 2015 VRod Muscle!!! Thx for the awesome inspirational vid!
Superb Job Matt, Hydration Vests were the Star of the Show! Thanks again.
Haha thanks man. They saved us for sure.
Magnificent! Great coverage of a great tour.
I was stationed at Castle AFB when I experienced Yosemite. I went back several times. I would love to go back there and see it again. One thing I remember is going there in the spring when the water falls was most intense. The spray coming off of the falls was cold and refreshing. The climbers going up El Capitan was awesome, just not for me.
Very cool
Awesome places , lovely drone shots. Thanks for sharing 👍
This was great! Thanks for posting this. Beautiful ride.
thanks Matt.and ever trip needs an Andrew.ride safe guys all best from New Zealand.
Man, when you were showing the maps while splitting lanes in traffic I was looking at the squiggly lines to the right and was like, "Screw this traffic, I'm heading that way!". LOL!
Haha
Thanks Matt, love your destination rides! Also Andrew is a mad-man, laying down in the stream!
