Music is "Getting Tipsy 2" "Ice Cream Social" "Lincoln" "Miami Work"
Music from Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsou...)
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!!!!!
With all the great locations out there by you.....you figure Harley would no problems drawing more new riders. Love the video....stay frosty!
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.
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
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 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?
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 👍
Another great video Matt. Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Scott
Great video, thanks for taking us on the ride with you
Cheers from Perth Australia. Kevin
That was a great video. Was wishing it never ended!
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!
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 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!
This video really brought back some good memories. I lived in Woodland Hills for years and that was my old stomping grounds.
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.
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.
I'd like to do a video on Laidlaw's History. That's a big project. Maybe one day I'll tackle it.
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!
Great video Matt! Love it when you take us on a ride. Ride Safe!
Sick dynas!
Instablaster...
I will watch this again. Thanks for posting.
Always a pleasure to watch this video.
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
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 👍👍👍
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 :)
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 👍
Awesome video looks like a great ride
Keep posting your awesome vids!!!
Really enjoy watching ALL of them.
looks like a great ride. Going to have to put that on my list. Never been to Neptunes net. Food looks good😋 👍🏻👍🏻🏍
+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 ⚡️❤️
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Matt. Beautifully done, Vid!
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.
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!
What a cool hang out
Gorgeous scenery and a great video. Can’t beat So. Cal. Ride safe.
Cool! Thanks for sharing the ride.
Love riding Malibu Canyon!!!
So many great roads back there.
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
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.
Nice Drone Footage ! Great Vid....
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 😊
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.
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...
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.
I think this is my fav Laidlaw video bro. Cool to see california from a riders eye over here in New Zealand. 👌
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 place, and super video. I’d love to ride there some day👌🤟😎
Super interesting, looking forward to more like this!
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!
Beautiful Sunday ride in California thanks for sharing
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
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.
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 !
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!!!
Matt must be the coolest boss ever, you guys were the slickest dudes there at Neptune's hands down ..
Great video and your audio is always on point. Keep up the strong work.
Hello Matt, very well put together video of some very iconic twisty roads and great views! Keep up those great drone shots! You guys are very Blessed to have such great destinations to ride. Are you planning any long road trips this year?
Great video as always
Always a good time at neptunes on weekends! Thanks for sharing!
Great vid, great music very informative picture quality fantastic
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.
That music and intro was fire 🔥
Very cool video- good for someone like me that is unfamiliar to the area to add things to my (growing) bucket list!
Señor Direktor ! Your a genius .... 🤙
At putting these very artistic video’s together ! Lol- 😁 great job ! ( keep ‘em coming )
Thanks!
Excellent video, Matt. Really enjoyed it. Those were two absolutely awesome bikes you were riding with. I love Nick's blacked out Lowrider as well as the most amazing (green) Lowrider S ever :) As I've said here before, sure hope H-D releases a Lowrider S in the '19 lineup. Looking forward to your dealer show footage on the 21st.Thanks so much for taking us along with you guys. Great drone footage also.
Thanks brother. I appreciate the comment!
Nice ride
Great video music and tie in with the FAF 1 scene, RIP PAUL WALKER!
Also, Kade Gates did a DOPE AZZ YT video a while back on his Sportster, throwing the front wheel in the sky!
Much Respect from the East Coast Matt! 👊⚡⚡
Thanks Brother!
Matt Laidlaw You're always welcome my Brother, your vlogs are getting better as you push 'em out! I really like how you covered the different bike genres and incorporated the drone footage too!👊
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
You make some killer videos! Thanks for sharing this with us....I would like to stop at “Neptune’s Net” next time I touch down in Cali, along with Laidlaw H-D! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼🦅🦅🏍🏍🇺🇸🇺🇸🦀🦀🏝🏝⛰⛰⛰
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.
I use to ride there all the time when I lived in Los Angeles
wow thanks Matt, we get to ride the local haunts without the jetlag! cheers from Brisbane Australia.
Great video Matt , enjoy your trips you do ,from here in the 🇬🇧 uk
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. 👍👍👍
Nice! Thanks for watching. Glad I could have you make some decisions for the bike. Enjoy the ride.
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 👍
Hi Matt loving your videos and channel I have just joined the Harley family by buying myself a 2018 iron
Awesome man. I appreciate the Sub. Welcome to the Harley family.
Thank you Matt keep up the good work
What a beautiful ride! 🤗Thank you!
Matt,
It was a Simpson "Model 61" Darth-Vader Face, that kept me alive in 1983 so I
could buy that StreetBob @
your place in 2011.
I don't ride anymore.
My bike is sold, &.gone to Germany. You know I rode for 50yrs. I survived 6 M/C
accidents, I'm not dead.
I live in Long Beach now.
Later,
John Spencer 😎
Really enjoyed the vid. Looking to come over from the UK next year to do this run and visit the shop 👍
Awesome video.... Beautiful Scenery! Great job Matt
great video! finally, it is not only informative but also beautiful...Malibu is an amazing place...bare rocks, but still beautiful!!
Makes me miss home..great video Matt!
Very cool video Matt. Sadly, the CHP has closed Mulholland Hwy between the Rock Store and Kanan. You have to take Sierra Creek off Mulholland to Kanan and go around
What a great video and the music too! Had to watch three times in a row. Thanks Matt!
Haha. Thanks man.
Well put together dude, I enjoyed that , thank you !
Thanks man
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.
Fun video to watch. Beautiful ocean.
Met Jay Leno once at the Rock Store when he was just a comedian riding Harleys, around 1974.
Great video Matt, always love your vids, commentary and honesty. My next trip back to So. California I plan to visit your store.
Great ride! Great production too. Thanks for the share
As a kid I lived in Oxnard and my dad always stop here to get fish and and beer on the way home with me to eat back in the 70
Cool ass video. Cali looks cool as shit. I really want to visit Neptune net if I ever go
Watched the whole thing. I gotta ride down to SoCal soon. Finally got my Harley!
Can you do a video about riding gear Matt? Thanks!
Congrats man. I might do a riding gear video in the future. I try to keep my channel about the bikes mostly though.
What Harley did you buy
JOHN CLARK wait , wait , I am getting a vision , it's BIG !! Very big very black! !!! You know, to match all of his shirts ! Lots of chrome , lots of chrome 😄😄 very heavy and slow, AND LOUD AS FUCK !!!! 😎😎😎😎😎 what do you think? I'm close right ???
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.
That’s a fun video, very cool
Will be going up there first week of May going to hit these spots for sure
Paul Walker !!!! nice Matt - RIP , always in our hearts !!!!!
Another great video Matt. Love the music and the filming. I noticed you mount your phone on the engine guard. What kind of mount do you use and do you have any vibration issues?
Thanks!!
I like your Helmet. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Just went up there in my brand Indian dark horse. Awesome ride!
