Foxen Canyon....nice ride. The main micro-climates in SB Country are very good for growing grapes for Pinot Noir. Zaca Wineyards and others make outstanding Pinot Noirs. There are also some Michelin star restaurants in Los Alamos, and I dare say: Matteis Tavern is a good place. The movie Sideways was filmed in what is now (renamed after the movie) the Sideways Hotel, it has a nice bar. An absolute must for any biker within SB County is Cold Springs Tavern, Mavericks, and the Depot in Los Alamos. A local hangout in SB county is Billiards in Santa Ynez. Solvang has some very good places to go. And of course for wine: LOS OLIVOS (every block has tasting rooms). Good Roads to go biking on are: Foxen Canyon (Ballards Canyon too....although much shorter and single lane) and of course: Santa Rosa Road (bumpy and gets down to a single lane). Najoqui Falls park off Alisal road is also a good place. Near Santa Ynez the best breakfast place hands down: Ellens in Buellton. The best place for breakfast (better than Ellens: is American Host in Lompoc). The Shamrock Bar in Lompoc is also a good place to grab a beer. Foxen Canyon will take the rider from Santa Ynez up to Santa Maria. (note: if the rider wants a twisty one lane road that offshoots Foxen Canyon they can get off on Tepequet road: that will dump out onto Hwy 166. From there if they hang a left and head west they will run into Hwy 101. At Cold Springs Tavern: MOST bikers show up on SUNDAY afternoons. About 100 miles north of that area is Cambria a very good place to visit. (San Luis Obispo County) The Palm Motel in Cambria is probably the cheapest place to stay. Nearby Cambria is Paso Robles with a lot of good wine.

I have an 06 FLHTI that has been customized to surpass CVO status. In 2012 I had a project in Paso Robles CA. I convinced my company to let me drive to the sight from GA. I hauled the tools and the bike across country to the project in my Pickup. Every Saturday afternoon I would ride the Eglide to different wineries for the 4 months I was out there. I ended up with 14 cases of wine that I hauled back to GA. I flew my wife out for a week in CA then followed Route 66 back to OK for 10 days. It was one of the best vacations we have ever had.

These videos are so inspiring. I wish I had friends who rode and were willing to go on epic adventures such as these.

Hell yeah!! Another Laidlaw crew road trip. Keep them coming Matt 😎👍

Two lanes, two wheels, two cylinders, too much fun! This is one of the best videos yet!

Great ride Matt, nice music track not to mention the drone footage. Nice to see the good natured ribbing of Brandon with plenty of tips to fix things.

Matt You and your crew have reached a new plateau once again! Amazing and outstanding, You keep outdoing yourself every single time. Your journeys are much more than epic,keep the content flowing. You're scenic editing and commentary is second to no one's. Thank you for what you're doing and continue your safe journeys now and forever into the future.

Stunning ride! You should make a link on your dealer website about the routes your rides take!

What a difference when watching on a big screen TV. Amazing. You showing us on the East side of the Mississippi some hidden gems of roads out west. Keep them coming.

Did my heart good to see riders prepared for tire problems 😎

I really enjoy these videos. I live in Iowa would love to take a few weeks off to ride my 2022 RGS out to the west coast and check out a lot of these roads that are in your videos. The great effort that goes into the narration and production is very evident. Please keep em coming!

Don't leave Home till you've seen the Country.😊 Another very COOL RIDE Matt and Team. .

When you have a ride like that you just don't want the day to end Thank you for the video take care

Damn Matt another video made by RIDERS for RIDERS appreciate this !

Another awesome video. Thank you for taking us along.

Love your videos of your tours. Always great to watch and falling in love with California. What a beautiful state. Please keep em’ coming !!

Once again, another great video by you and your crew! Thank you Laidlaw Crew!

Matt, thank you for content. I would love to see a detailed video of the HD's different engine's reliability with all pros and cons. What is the highest millage HD engine you have ever seen or had serviced? I think that would be a great content.

And that why we ride motorcycles. Fantastic day for you and your friends!

Actually they are called alternative lifestyle cutters! Great video! My wife and I watch them and it pumps her up to take long rides with me.

Great video guys... back roads is where the magic is... One day we will venture to the west coast it looks great!!!

Great video Matt ! Thanks so much for sharing the journey. The music and scenery are spot on. Good times .

California bashing is practically a new sport these days but it’s good you and the boys haven’t left. This is the soul- lifting stuff of California dreamin.

What an amazing trip. Great video and editing too.

Screw Hell, that was a Lag Bolt...😂 Matt you guys never cease to show the best part of the country, another master piece bro...plus I haven't heard that song from Bo The Drifter in a decades...

Always look forward to your videos! Love the group rides you guys take. Keep them coming Matt🤘

That Neotec 2 is awesome! Watching carefully you look like riding a secondary road in Europe. Such landscapes richness you have.

Better ride than me dodging rain and hail in the CO Rockies today. But never a bad day on 2 wheels rain or shine. Another good vid.

Awesome video Matt (again). Love the drone shots. Ride safe from Sydney, Australia🤘

Great vid. Having fun while riding with your friends is a simple pleasure that never gets old.

Oh, this is hilarious. I’m in fact sitting here in Denmark watching you guys eating and pronouncing æbleskiver. Second to none… Just hilarious. Love to watch your videos, Matt. Keep the rubber on the tarmac

Truly an epic ride! Can’t wait to get out to California.

Yup, yet another great voyage of riding experience on two wheels Matt. It gets me so pumped for another season of rides this year. Thank you!

❤😍🤩 WoW Love the Route you guys took. Especially 166 to Hudson Ranch Road. I will definitely 💯 take Hudson Ranch Road soon. Thank You to your customer (Fran) recommendations. Love the white Shoei Neotec 2 helmet.

I really enjoy following your "rides", what really comes across is that you are all really decent guys and also very good friends. Thanks for bringing some sun into the life of a Cornishman (south England County)

Wow! What a gorgeous scenery to ride a Harley through! Thanks for sharing this amazing video! I had a chance to drive around by following the wine route of a movie called “Sideways” which took me to most of the small towns you guys showed on this video! I wish I could’ve ridden instead of driven hehehe / Again, thanks for sharing the video. That reminded me when I visited over back in 2016!

Another inspirational video of motorcycling in southern California. Very well done, thank you. Fess Parker was an actor that portrayed Davey Crockett in the series of and also Daniel Boone in the series of Daniel Boone

Jaime! Glad to see him on the ride. One of the first and friendliest guys I met at your shop

Thanks, Matt; I always love your videos. I need to get down that way one day. I've been on most if not all the back roads in Napa and Sonoma counties seeing I live here.

This was a great video. I'm green with jealousy because I wish I lived closer to there and could ride those roads, but I can dream! Thanks for posting.

Another great ride! You guys were due for a nice one without rain!

As always Awesome Matt & Crew!

Great video Matt, always love the content you put up. On KZfaq you see lots of videos drop and many are kinda Mehhhhh! If it's a Laidlaw drop I'm in faster than a rat up a drainpipe 🤣 as I know the quality and videography are going to be right up there. Thanks for posting.

Cali riding is epic. Love it!

Enough about wine, I don't even drink wine lol, classic. Enjoy all your adventures

This must be the fourth time I’ve watched this vlog. Lovely job 😊

This is what team building is really supposed to be. Great video!

Great ride Matt, thanks for taking us along!

Thanks Mat, once again this content is what you excel at. Always good to have a crew that you can share these experiences with. Hope to get across to the States on day to give these roads a try. Thank you 👊👍

You guys are awesome Love the travel videos Thanks!

I love that green road king special. Thats my next bike, hope they stick around.

Excellence again Matt! Your cinematography just keeps getting better and better too. You're doing a terrific job with these videos!

You literally do the best job on youtube, whether it's a journy or a review. Thank you for all you do! I'm down and out with an ankle injury and this helps me feel like I'm riding again. Thanks again.

A great road trip, I enjoyed your ride, Greetings from Frankfurt a.M. Germany, Matt.

Matt, thanks for the shout out! Fran AKA Bill

Nothing better than the Backroads. Wisconsin is full of these types of roads. Slow, windy, very little traffic. Best way to ride. Great video!!!!

Totally awesome, a great video Matt thank you for sharing 👍

Looks great 😮‍💨 streamed on my 65” TV, awesome cinematography and informative as always. One of my favorite places to ride. When I ride to The Deer Lodge in Ojai, after a nice meal and a few games of pool - I usually take the 33 north and swing a right onto Lockwood Valley Road and then take the 5 south back to San Clemente. Thanks for sharing your trips, good times for sure! 😎⚡️🤙

That is a great ride! My mother-in-law and father-in-law have a house up in Pine Mountain. I've ridden a lot of the places you guys did and it is a great little day ride! 👍🏼

Another great video - thanks Matt! We appreciate all the work that goes into making these videos and yours are certainly among the very best on youtube!

Matt, this a scenic route. A more technical twisty is the road just south of Hudson Ranch/Pine Mountain! It is called Lockwood Valley Road. Take that to Hwy 33 to Ojai! Then to Ventura Pier for Beach House Tacos!

Nice crew . great job bringing us along on the road with you all .. thanks for the ride !

Epic weather for such a great trek out thru those old canyon highways.

Another masterclass Matt and crew 🙌🏼Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹 a country known by great wines as well! Some amazing rides and scenery 😎All the best

🫶 awesome friends. ❤️‍🔥 thxxx for the beautiful impressions. btw. I want to have Mickeys Harley Zipper ✌️😜

Hey Matt. Really enjoy these videos and appreciate your effort in making them. And FWIW I think you do a great job with narration. Keep up the good work. Please!

This had a very Ken Burns feel to it- great job man. This must have taken forever to make

Amazing footage again Matt, love to watch these roadtrip video’s. Great to see you and your friends have so much fun, enjoy 😎

I like taking the 33 down to Ojai going east to the 5 . good cruise ,I have enjoyed 166.

You have a natural talent in creating your content- always cool to watch. Ride safe everyone.

Great-Time...nothing like a road trip on your Bike, even if it's a overnighter at motel or you packed a one man tent with basic camping gear. And the Back Roads out in the Beautiful Country...for-sure. Good Video.

One of your best. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

Thanks Matt!!! You always show the greatest road on your side of the country....

Another Ride to add to the Ride bucket list.

Another Great video Matt! The music score at the beginning was Awesome as was all the scenery! Thanks to you and the crew for taking the time to put it all together!

Nice review keep up the good work Matt Laidlaw

What a beautiful, peaceful scenic ride and to top it off no traffic....that's what MC riding is about! I t heightens all your natural senses, that can only be experience on two wheels!! Great Off the road adventure!!!!! Tanks for sharing!

i grew up in lancaster/ palmdale area! good to see you riding out there. i now some how live in MN lol. I miss that area though. Got very gang orientated. still a nice spot.

Another great video, Matt. Those are some of my favorite roads, too. Pro tip: it's actually pronounced tep-es-KAY road. Every year there's a downhill skateboard weekend out there . I happened to ride through there last year when it was going on. Effing crazy seeing those guys flying down that road on their boards!

"Dont even drink wine" Classic!!!!

Man that's an awesome ride. Thanks

Love your videos, they are truly the best. Thank you.

Great Clip Matt! Really enjoyed it.

I have been watching Adam Sandoval's convoy video and it seems every bagger that is riding with him is a Road Glide. It is nice to see 80% of the bikes on this ride are Road Kings.

Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait to see your review of the new CVOs.

What can I say everybody else Express just what I was thinking. Awesome 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Spiritual... Everyone should be blessed to see it.

Awsome Ride! 10 out of 10 stars!

Thumbs up on a great motorcycle adventure, Thanks
