Pacific Coast Highway on a Harley-Davidson

Показать описание
The Laidlaw's crew take a ride down one of the most scenic sections of the Pacific Coast Highway (HWY 1). The first night they take the I-5 up to Santa Cruz - rain is in the forecast. The boys take on some harsh weather initially but it pays off the next day as they travel down the coast. Three Pan Americas, one Road King, and a Road Glide Ultra are the motorcycles of choice for this trip. They wind through a section of the redwoods just south of San Francisco, at which point, their pieced-together rain gear is put to the test.

Your videos are more like short-films. Watching them is the next-best thing to being a participant. You must have a line out the door there at Laidlaw’s, with people who want to apply for jobs. A great place to work with great people and obvious benefits. Trips like these make great memories. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for taking the time to document and share this epic road trip with us Matt! Great video once again for the best Brand Ambassador that Harley-Davidson has!

Always a good morning when I’ve got a new Laidlaw Harley production to go with my coffee before I go ride my Harley for the day. The wet leaves on the road are way more sketch than the wet roads and rain.

My old stomping grounds. Breaks my heart to see the burned areas.

When you're in the moment of the ride and the elements don't cooperate it can be frustrating at times, but when you look back you'll remember what a great experience it was. People who do not ride can never understand that experience.

THANKS MATT !
"Embrace the suck " is the best advice when the weather turns bad.
I rode the PCH about four decades ago ( in good weather ) and still remember the beauty of it all.
THX for sharing !!!

Trust me I didn't see one either other than me when I was on it some of those curves it looked like one of my wheels on the trailer was hanging off the cliff and I had to take both lanes to go around some of the curves but that tunnel scared me really bad too because I didn't know if I was going to be to tall and get stuck inside it... I quickly figured out I probably wasn't suppose to be in that road especially when ever car I met was thinking at me and waving a certain finger out the window lol

I must say I'm very grateful that you guys did this and decided to film and share with all of us. This was truly an extraordinary experience. The redwoods, the scenery along the coast is just amazing. In 1967 a show called Then Came Bronson starring Michael Parks filmed him riding his Sportster across the Bixby bridge. That show was what got me into motorcycles. Big thanks to Matt, Nick, Mickey, Brandon and all who went on this. Rain is no fun when you're solo, but when you're with friends it can be so much fun. Thanks for posting and take care.

Yeap I would have to agree with you Matt 1, 000% that Hwy 1 is also my Road of Roads as Hwy 1 ends at Leggett and turns into 101.
My other favorite is The Canadian Hwy 1 which will take you all the wat into Anchorage Alaska then back on Hwy 1 onto Hwy 7 to Juneau.
Yeap, there are a few Hwy 1 around the world.
My future GI~PA are going to revisit a few of those favorite Road & Places..
Don't know if Mary or Paul will be able to do the rides of my vision..
But, I will send you the photos to Prove I was There...
Great Video...
Really Nice Highway Pegs too...

I've ridden on some of the most beautiful roads in America from east to west and nothing compares to the PCH, especially from Big Sur all the way to Oregon and beyond. At least you found out about the rain gear. Every time we have been there it was parched! Great video as always. Thank you!

This is my all time favorite ride. I used to live in Monterey and I've ridden pch1/Big Sur hundreds of times. This is a ride that you just don't become complacent with. You won't notice all the mansions built into the cliff faces your first time as their exteriors are of the same type rock as the cliffs. It's a spectacularly beautiful scenic area to ride!

I love it. This is a trip you guys will never forget and will always talk about. I am jealous!

Used to make the ride down to SLO from Monterey on the 101 and cut across to Cambria and ride back up usually in September. Beautiful, if you timed it right to avoid the fog.

hi Matt, great video on a great route and as I said, there is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothes and attitude, and who has not spilled water from his shoes anymore, he did not drive in the rain, great performance from a rainy but what a great perspective, thank you for sharing it because it is also in part my memories, although not so wet, greetings from Poland and Germany

Two weeks ago, a buddy and I did this ride from Moss Landing to Avila Beach and back. Spectacular ! Highlight was on ride back north, riding along a herd of Zebra, yes Zebra, that wonder the open space at Hearst Castle. We had bright sunshine and vest weather! As Matt says, a must for all riders!! Thanks Matt and crew, I now have a video of our ride!
Ride safe!

These are my favorite types of YouTube Motorcycle content videos, a nice cinematic style road trip video - they push the wanderlust to almost unsubstainable levels and boom I take off of work, jump on the bike a go!!
