Route 66 on a Harley-Davidson │ w/ 2LaneLife

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.

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.

Wow that shot at the end with the sky ..Awesome

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.

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

What a great time. Thanks to you and all involved for bringing these historic places to the masses

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

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.

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.

It's-5 with 50mph winds tonight in Ohio. I needed this. Thanks Matt

[dustoffmedic]

I love how you include some history of the routes and places that you go

[markbaker]

These trip videos get better every time, keep them coming Matt

[kerrymcclure]

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.

[StanfordCrane]

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.

[brendandandlisa]

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...
