- Part 2 of 2│ The Laidlaw's crew finish up their ride out of Jerome, AZ with the boys from 2 Lane Life. They decide to take Route 66 instead of the boring interstate 40 back home to southern California. Along the way Lance and Gaylin search out some of the historic hot spots along "The main Street of America." Lunch at the Road Kill café and a stop-off in Oatman, AZ were two of the highlights as the 12 riders blaze the route 66 on a trip down western US memory lane.

Loving these intros!! Great stuff & a great trip. We're glad everyone could make it out for another epic adventure on two wheels. Until next time! See ya down the road 😎 🇺🇸
Thanks guys! Thanks again for being our tour guides. You definitely showed us some great spots like Bisbee, Hackberry, Cool Springs, Sidewinder, Etc. Let do it again soon!
Thank you for taking me along! I made this ride as a young man in 1965 on a Triumph Tr-6 from Wash. D.C. to Ca. God bless you guys, hope to see you in heaven. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
What a great video. I rode Route 66 this summer. I ran into a guy on this badass Honda 250 (at least he thought it was) at a gas station in Kingman. He asked where we were headed and I told him Oatman. He told us not to waste our time, that it was a crappy road and Oatman was not worth the ride. BOY, was he wrong. I agree with Matt, Oatman was probably my favorite part of Old Route 66. We stopped at the Cool Springs Station and the flowers in the desert were in bloom. The burro's were pretty cool. They would stand in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, looking for a hand out. Oatman was never a town. Oatman was a mining camp and get's it's name from Olive Oatman. At 28:23 into the video, you will see a mural of Olive Oatman panted on the Oatman Restaurant & Ice Cream Saloon. Olive was 14 year old Mormon child, who's family was slaughtered by Indian's in 1851. She was held captive with her younger sister by the Yavapai Indian's and later traded to the Mohave Indian's. You will notice in the video that her face was tattooed, a tribal custom reserved for members of the Mohave Tribe. If you are interested in Western American history, look up the story of Olive Oatman. We ate at the Oatman Hotel Restaurant in July and it was a packed house so we ate at the bar. Oatman is over a 2,000 mile ride for me, but I am definitely looking forward to doing it again.
Great insights.
That’s one of the best routes I would take if I have a chance ride in US roads. Thanks for the video to whole team.
What a great time. Thanks to you and all involved for bringing these historic places to the masses
Wow that shot at the end with the sky ..Awesome
Thank you!

Well said and amen
Danielle is like Waldo... here then gone. In my many travels I can honestly say that Route 66 is one of my favorites starting out of Chicago down to Joplin Tulsa, Amarillo (Oatman might have Donkeys) avoid the Amarillo it is like a massive rock with legs. Gallup, Kingman, and yes, Oatman is the best by Far...

Yes Matt! best memories are with your pals on your bikes...
Just like the Cowboys on their Horse...
~Enjoy the Ride
Happy Holidays to all, and I left you something on your desk, get better see you next year..
What happened to the jerky.?
Thanks for the comment Steve, and thanks for the goodies. Have a Merry Christmas. Always, appreciate your insights. Have a happy new year!
@Matt Laidlaw ~ Our family sees you, and your staff as a continuation on my family...
Matt, I know how much work you guys put into the production and editing of these videos and we really appreciate the effort. You always deliver, so congrats and Merry Christmas.
Thank you. I appreciate the positive feedback. As long as people keep enjoying the vids I'll keep putting in the effort.
Well said, totally awesome 👍🏽
It’s okay honey…. Sweetheart 🤣🤣🤣 Fun times are being had by all 👍 Great video Matt 😎✊
Haha, thanks for checking it out
And just fall in love with life again
Yes!
Have a great Christmas sir and if you're on the road be safe bro
Matt, this was just another outstanding video and top notch narration. Love getting off the beaten path to ride these old sweepers. My pops rolled up thru there years ago, and found a great distressed leather cut and chaps in a leather shop there, that I’ve hung on to since he passed 7 years ago; I’ll never part with them. The Wild West is like no other. Ride those ares again in early Summertime, to eliminate the weather you just endured.
Thanks man. 🤙🏼
It's-5 with 50mph winds tonight in Ohio. I needed this. Thanks Matt
Haha glad you could see some warmer weather on TH-cam. Thanks for watching
Great video. This is where I ilive..34 years now..from the SoCal Sewer....I forget how fortunate I am to live and ride here ...and take all this for granted. Thanks Matt for reminding me.
Thank you Matt for the videos they were great. I have been putting off watching them because of their length. But I'm sitting here in Indiana with the temperature of 2°, and the wind blowing. Sitting in my chair with the heated blanket on perfect time to watch both videos thank you again.
Ride safe.
I really wish I had friends like that to ride with. You guys are great!
Hey Matt...that was great. Your vids are so good, and I love the choice of music you used...especially the 'whistler'! Thanks for sharing...
Haha the western whistle! Thanks for the feedback
Oh man. It’s my time to shine.
It's always your time to shine.
@@TH3G0ODGUY lovely summers day here in Australia.
Who gave you permission to talk.

Your narration and music in your videos is awesome. Really look forward to watching your videos.
Thank you! It takes me forever to make them. I'm glad people enjoy them
Bucket list trip being from the UK 🇬🇧
These trip videos get better every time, keep them coming Matt
Started following your blog after Sturgis with MDB.
Addicted after watching Sturgis watched North Rim, Sedona.
Now route 66.
Love how you tell a story and love the history.
New Addiction 🇦🇺🇺🇲
Thanks for taking me with you.
Loved it felt like I was there too
New Zealand
Thanks for watching Chris. I appreciate it
Those donkeys (Burros) are the descendants of the burros that worked for the miners 100 (or so) years ago!
Matt, I just watched this awesome video. I knew about Route 66 based upon the song "Route 66" and a few books I had read, and had mental images of it. The landscapes and businesses in your video were exactly what I had imagined it would look like. As always, your introduction provided historical background that really helps a viewer understand and enjoy the video. While I'll most likely never ride on Route 66, your video, makes me feel like I have.
Part of what made this video so great for me was your use of the clips from Cars. My oldest son was 3 or 4 years old when Cars was released in 2006 and we took him to the theater to see it, and bought the DVD for him (that he watched so many times that the DVD wore out). I had forgotten that Cars told the story of Route 66 and the people (cars) and towns that were bypassed by the Interstate Highway System and US 40. Coincidentally, I own and ride a 2006 FXSTSI (the same year Cars was released and the final year the Motor Company produced the all-chrome front end Springer) that is in mint condition that I am going to give to my oldest son one day.
Im sitting at home freezing 🥶 my ass off in Chicago whille Matt and the Laidlaw crew ride through Route 66 . I can't ride my Street Glide St right now through my section of Rt 66 but at least I can watch Laidlaws ride through the winter so thanks its the next best thing.
Haha, Glad you could ride vicariously with us! Help you get through the winter!
As always, great job on this series guys! I really enjoyed it. Also thanks for the hospitality a few weeks ago while I visited your dealership from NC!
Absolutely correct about the fresh rain. I lived in OC for a few years and was gorgeous after the rain lifted all the crap in the air😎
Yes sir. Fresh rain fall is nice as long as you're not in it
Hey Matt, another excellent tour! Love it so keep the adventures coming! You and the 2 Lane guys...two favorites. Long live the friendship.
Awsome Awsome video man!!!!
I love how you include some history of the routes and places that you go
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
Rode it twice in 1999 and 2000 . Texas to SoCal are the most complete parts . I wouldn't bother with the rest anymore .
Hackberry is a town , you just can't see all the homes from there . To the left of that store are the towns mailboxes . Sadly the owners of the store have to hide their famous Corvette now due to outsiders from nearby trying to vandalize stuff at night .
Cool springs was an abandoned building when I was last there . Burros, not donkeys 🤣
26:06 those steps go up to the goldfish bowl . You missed it
37:50 That building with the bright silver roof is now a musem. But it was used as a hotel in the movie 'How the west was won'.
Thanks for the memories
Best yet! Amazing.
Have a great Thank from me ... for this absolute awesome and greatful Roadtrip / Roadride ... you all have made it in everything fantastic ...
So my Heart and Feeling was very touched ...
I wish you and your Crew a peaceful and happy End of this Year ...
See you ... your Arne from the Northern Highlands of Germany
Thanks for the ride along and great video Matt
Great Job Matt. I road those same roads in early October after watching @2lanelife video. I also hit up th 89A through Sedona after watching your video. Enjoyed the historical sights.
Ahhh, that's better. I was Jonesin for part 2. Another epic ride by the Laidlaw Gang.
Thank you!
Great video, that is by far the most stapled dollar bills I have ever seen.
Haha, that makes two of us
Wow. The scenery got me really thrilled to live in America. And don't forget the music in this video, very wild west, and country-ish. I so love it. Ride safe, guys. Enjoy! ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love these videos Matt. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. As someone who has rode all over Arizona but doesn't live anywhere near there (Nebraska) I felt like I was reliving my trip through every town you visited as those are all the same places I visited as well!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. And now a must do.
Makers my heart thump thump wanting to go riding. Maybe another lifetime. Great video
Oatman is such a fun place. You've done a great job and service to these attractions and beautiful places of history. Awesome ride and great production value!
Stayed at the Oatman Hotel the first time going to the Laughlin river run in '99. Beautiful area to ride except for the donkeys. Around any turn in the road they can be just standing in the middle of the roadway. The first time on Route 66 was in the early '70s headed to Tempe from Wisconsin. Took it easy on my 66th birthday on that highway in Winslow. Excellent video.
Matt another great video thank you for sharing it. Watching videos like yours get me through the winter months.... Thanks again!
Glad I could help get you through the winter Hah!. Take care. thanks for watching
Looks like time well spent. Thank you for sharing the adventure, with those of us in winter hibernation. Skol!
Thanks for this amazing video....look forward to more of these
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Absolutely Epic Matt.
Thank you sir
This is an excellent video. Thanks.
Thank you!
When you and the 2 lane guys get together is an explosive combo! Great video!
I don’t have a bike right now but the vlogs you do make me feel like I’m right there with y’all. Thank you for the experience.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Exactly what I'm going for! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Thanks for watching
And every time this beautiful landscape. 😍 Thank you for this insight. 👍
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for watching !
Another video that took me there. I cant wait to ride the 66. Life dream. Great video. Love how you transport the viewer. Especially if you ride
Now I gotta go ride for real. Be safe all!!
I'm glad that that's how it translates to the viewer. I make the videos to inspire people to ride.
Going up the hill to Oatman I found myself in the 1930's driving a 4 cyl flathead Ford held together with baling wire and prayers from the passenger seats. Thank you for sharing, Ride Free
I really enjoyed this video trip.
Thank You Matt!
Looks like one hell of a ride, boys!
Bucket list! Thanks for sharing, brother!
I just finished part 2 of your alls excursion and absolutely loved it. Almost as if I was riding with you guys. Great job Matt and Thank you for sharing your journey. Peace ✌
Not only is Jerome an awesome town to hang out the people are stellar. I was immediately welcomed into the scene when I road through there last summer on my way back home from Born Free 13 in Silverado, CA.
The Oatman place was very, very cool. Just from the video you can tell that it has that oldschool western American vibe to it. I'm amazed that these remote places are able to get supplied with enough electricity, food, and gas stations. Another video I enjoyed watching. The donkeys seem pretty cool too btw lol.
Love these videos! Happy Holidays to the Laidlaw Crew! I’m excited to see more new adventures in 2023. 2023 will be the year I retire from the military with 23+ years of service to the nation. I’m wholeheartedly looking forward to spending more time on two wheels and experiencing times like these. Thank you for the inspiration!
The best Route 66 video I’ve ever seen!
So cool to see y’all riding together.. love 2 lane n just started watching Matt Laidlaw
Wow, thank you for sharing this trip with us. Great video, enjoyed every minute/mile.
Thanks for coming along!
Awesome ride landscape and company you can't beat it. Regards from end of Route 62 South Africa.
Fantastic video Matt it’s like I were on the ride with the group Thank You !
What a great show. We didn't want it to end lol, I could've watched for hours, especially this time of year for us up here in the deep freeze lol.
Great video Matt, I did the same route 66 ride from Seligman, to Kingman, to Oatman and all in between back in April. Also, ate at the roadkill cafe. Best scenery I have ever experienced. That road into Oatman is no joke!! Keep the rubber side down brother.
Here you are, out and about, trying to get me to retire about 7 years early just so I can go on these rides! Great video!
Haha, if you can do it - retire and start riding!
@@MattLaidlaw Seven years maximum and I am stepping out.
What an amazingly epic journey through time and history of gone... truly would love to ride that Route66 and experience the conjure... cheers for taking us on the ride.. Merry Christmas to all, and safe Holidays..
Ride on 🛵💨💨
Your travelling videos are pretty good Matt . Nice pace and vibe . Your commentary good . Nothing over the top , you somehow capture the atmosphere . Thank you 😊
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching
Love the Matt's Commentary
Matt should have way more than 171K subs. I've been here long since he has been under 100k. The production quality of these videos has been top notch lately. Keep up the work.
Thanks Matt another awesome road trip 😎👊🏻
Dam i live in az and haven’t took this road trip yet thanks for this one ✌🏽

Another great Video Matt , Thank you for sharing your expierence!
Wooow man, such an epic episode! Very well put together. Shot bros!!!!
I’m from New Zealand and just came through Oatman 2 weeks ago. The Oatman Hotel was absolutely pumping for lunch, and I had the best burger I’ve ever had. Circa 14hr BBQ meat. To die for. Staff amazing too.
Nice man thanks for the comment.
Amazing shots! Thank you for sharing and your hard work putting this together!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
As I watch this excellent video from small town Ontario. The weather forecast is for 15 to 30 centimeters of snow and high winds. What a great pre storm Video. I am going to have to ride Route 66 one day.
That was really cool. Great job.
Great and marvelous USA road! It’s one of my dream to ride in this whole road! Beautiful video! Congratulations guys! 🎉
Merry Christmas Matt and guys......i have been watching you guys for a while ...........you inspire lots of people like us who has a bucket list to ride where you are riding...ride safe brothers.

Absolutely loved this production. I’ve only started researching 66 using TH-cam as I’m travelling from Ireland in Sept 2024 to ride the entire route. This vid has whet my appetite big style. Superb! Subbed. 👌🏍🎥
Great trip…keep riding fellas.
Absolutely fantastic video Matt. Rode the same roads and visited Oatman in June this year but it was a little hotter at 104° 😅. All the best for the festive season 🎉. 🏴🇺🇸
Yea, June is a little toasty. Try the fall time. It's the best, as long as it isn't raining
