The Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson crew takes a multi-day road trip into Yosemite National Park. They experience some heat getting there but the payoff is an epic day in one of the most beautiful national parks in the U.S. Check out the sights and the bikes as they make their way up the 395 into Mammoth and then Yosemite. Best experienced on two wheels!

“Moisture is the essence of wetness.” Cracked me up. I finally went to Yosemite a few years ago and the whole time I was wishing we were on the bike. Gotta experience that kinda of nature by being in the nature, not looking through glass.

I was born and raised in Fresno. I've been to the park hundreds of times and it never loses its magic! There's just something about it? I've rode, drove and hiked all over the park! I know you were pressed for time but Glaicer point is a spot you should of taken in. The hydration vests are life savers in the heat! I've used them for years but they don't work as well here in Florida with the high humidity. Great video!

@MattLaidlaw 3 жыл бұрын

Yea, I wish we could have done glacier point. We just didn't have the time to ride in and hike. Next time I'll do it for sure

Glacier Point Road is getting a complete rebuild and widening. Lots of closures, delays, and construction surfaces. Should be reopened by summer of 2022.

Had to go in the west side because east side was still 40 feet of snow! Luckily I called before we tried to go in the east side. Just a wonderful place, I missed not being on my motorcycle , but staying there in your RV and doing the bus tours was a great way to see the park and listen to the history from our guide.

The place i work was amazing in that way. everyone got along. People even came in 1.5 hours before their shift just do they had time to hang out before work. We got bought by another company. They did not like that there were 40+year employees. Triple generations worked there, since 1926. The new company's philosophy was to have strife amongst the ranks. No joke. It took them 5 years. Now most people are gone. Nobody likes coming to work and everyone dislikes each other.

@@whatyoumakeofit6635 I worked at a plant where everyone was always comparing “themselves” to “the next guy”. If you bought a new car or new bike, people became jealous, and “god forbid” if they found out what they cost.
