O'ahu on a Harley-Davidson
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A Scenic Harley-Davidson ride around the island of O'ahu. Matt Laidlaw picks up a couple of bikes with his friend Dan and gets the inside track of the best roads on the island from a local - Chris Wong. They spend the day riding around the island and capturing all the beauty of the tropic, island landscapes. From Honolulu to the north shore, the guys cover just about everything on two wheels!

Love your videos Matt, just awesome. We rented a road king on the island years ago. We still remember getting caught in a thunderstorm.. It was like taking a warm shower on the move. Ride safe guys from Sydney Australia ✌️✌️
Whew! I'm glad those kids liked the Road Glide better than the Low Rider - S. I just picked up last week a 2020 RG Special #1 edition. Supposedly HD only made about 750 of that edition. My sister in-law lives on the big island and I wonder when I go visit if there's a HD rental there?
I did this ride 21 years ago. Me and a buddy rented HDs. It was an epic experience. It’s nice to see it done and watch the scenery. It’s one of those things you have to do if you ever get the opportunity that’s for sure. As always excellent job.

I rented a V-Rod years ago and tripped around Big Island. Hilo to Kona....amazing how cold it can get up high. I ended up buying an '05 V-Rod cuz I liked it so much. Worst investment I ever made in my life. That bike did not hold it's value. Still, I loved it anyway. I hope my new Low Rider S fares better than that V-Rod. As far as ride in Hawaii is concerned, the smells and perfect weather impressed me the most...no bugs. Smells: Flowers and dead animals...was a fun time.
