I love my hydration vest here in Vegas. Get a Harley cooler bag and put it in your saddle bag with water and ice. Every time you stop, put vest back in that cooler bag till you're ready to go

@@Cregar1 the Harley ones are thin. I got mine off Amazon and at over 100 degrees and 80moh 90 minutes with no problems. Down side you can't anything in your pants pocket. You'll be soaked from the shoulders to mid thigh but it's worth it in this heat

“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.

How blessed our SoCal Harley riders to have the rides here. Yosemite is probably one of the tops. Ride Safe 🤙🏼

Great looking trip from SoCal. I did in in 1995 on a new FLHR from Louisville KY. Little bit longer ride but I was young and adventurous. Now I'm old but I still have the Road King.

Thank You.. Beautiful thing to watch.. On one of my to do list.. Long ways from the middle of the country..

Been to Yosemite a couple of times, love it, definite bucket list experience...loved the video, as a retired cameraman with over 25 years experience, great operating, cutting, and music, exceptional...one of best travel vids I've seen...loved it.

Hi Matt, greetings from Victoria, Australia. Thank you for that incredible video!!!! We're in Australia so we know what heat is but having ridden in Pheonix Sept 2017 we REALLY know what heat is !!!!!!

Who the f*** would thumb down this video? I got so adventure sick watching this. Thanks Matt. Loved it.

A dream. Thanks for taking us with. Beautiful landscape. Greetings from a very rainy and stormy Germany this year. 👍

I know California really well and live nearish Yosemite, but I think it was very cool how you showed the route you took to get to Yosemite. Good job.

wife and rode down 395 from wa st. went into Yosemite. cant remember the year, it was the hottest weather ever recorded inside the park. we rode out the west side. next morning told my wife we are not stopping until we get too the Pacific Ocean.

Thanks, Matt. My favorite place on Earth, and I haven’t been in 20 years. Seeing your view from the bike absolutely made my day. Love it.

Absolutely loved this. Been on the upper road with my lowrider many years ago. Brought back many memories of rides across country with my best riding buddy. Haven't done a road trip for several years now because of declining health. Heart surgery this Friday and if I make it through plan on Yosemite next year on my Tri-Glide. Thank you for this great video and long live Harley Davidson trips.

Just went up the 120 a week ago. I rolled over Sonora Pass l, south on 395. I didn’t go to the park but fished Ellery Lake you passed on way to park. I also ate at the Whoa Nellie Deli inside the Mobil gas station right at the 120/395 junction. Next time y’all roll up ya should try eating at that place. This video was fun to watch! It’s in my back yard basically!

Great video, thanks for taking us along.

What an awesome video. Man you should have your own show on TV I swear. Great job and pleasure to watch as always.

This shit is just epic! I like the way you see things and articulate your vision.

Love the paint on that Dyna..... the rider is quite cute as well !

Matt, you should win am award for that video. One of the best motorcycle travel videos I've ever seen. And thanks for sharing your beautiful state with an old east coaster that will probably never get experience it.

Real nice trip and glad you guys had so much fun……….👍

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!

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.

2016 i fly from Sweden to LA! Rented a street Glide for 3 weeks. THE street Glide took me around all of California 3850 km. And a Short stay in Vegas Nevada. But My greatest memory is Yosemite ❤️🤠 next time i have to Bring My wife . Hard to explain Yosemite!

Outstanding!! and great video!! real thx 🙏 we can't wait for the next video, we are always enjoying your video. Suprb job Matt as usual.

Can’t wait to go there someday!

Good time & ride for sure...people need to get out and see all the amazing places in this country of ours and experience it with there own eyes . It's amazing

From Lisbon, Portugal. Spectacular this video. The landscapes that Yosemite National Park shows us in this video are of extraordinary beauty, it's American beauty in all its splendor, without a doubt.

Awesome trip and vid. Great reminder to stop by Laidlaws to pick up a hydration vest. Good to see you put off SEKI (Sequoia/Kings Canyon) for another trip. SEKI usually takes longer than planned.

Went through the park 20 years ago solo on my road king on the way to street vibrations. Brought back lots of memories. Guess I need to to do it again on my 2020 CVO Road Glide. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Vicariously riding from the Philippines, good stuff Matt. Many many thanks!!

Wow,,,,what a great video!!! I know you spent a lot of time and effort on it. Absolutely perfect. My wife and I drove our motor home there a few years ago. 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.

Well Matt, I believe that this is the best cinematic video that you've done so far. You've really upped your skills in both stories and videos. The only flaw is that you didn't give yourselves enough time but with everyone working, I get it. Life is so short so make the most of it with your friends and family. I still have you on my bucket list to somehow drive to Laidlaw's for a T-shirt and a visit. God bless....

I rarely comment on videos....but this was really well done. The scenery shots were outstanding; editing was very well done....great job with the voice-overs; you've got a nice, even keeled temperament for doing these. I've learned a lot about Harleys from your product videos. Some nice rides featuring different Harleys and accessories is a perfect extension for a dealer. Great job. Keep 'em coming.
