Sedona on a Harley-Davidson │Down the Hwy 89A

[@arielgonzalez72]

I really like this documentary style video instead of a “classic” motovlog....... thanks for sharing Matt , cheers from Mexico to all the cool guys at Laidlaw’s

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I'm glad you guys are enjoying it

[@nickhildabridle1612]

I so concur with this comment.

[@alifeletilatu3900]

I concur too haha, solid videos brother! Watching from AKL, NZ

[@ToyodaJake]

Bro, love that you included the history. It made the video feel more important

[@garrysceppa7508]

It never amazes me after watching you on KZbin or a podcast production I want to go ride and get that therapy. I’m late to the game but because of you and your crew last November I bought my first bagger at 50 years young . one of my goals is to come out to the west coast and meet all of you one day bucket list.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you for the comment! Stop by sometime and say hi!

[@stuartcarroll2860]

Another great video. Your videos make my long Canadian winter almost bearable. Thanks

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha. Glad I could help out in a small way.

[@stevemoore6812]

Greetings from northern California good video Sedona is on my bucket list for sure.

[@jeffjennison]

Lived in Arizona for 28 years, 21 in Prescott. Hit all 4 corners of Arizona, but the switchbacks around Prescott, ghost towns like Jerome, and the beautiful red rock of Sedona, taking Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff has got to be in the top rides ever! Btw, living there made Jerome a weekend favorite 😎

[@MattLaidlaw]

I love it when locals chime in. Thanks for the comment

[@mrjon75]

Plus Haunted Hamburger 🍔 is cool with delicious food.

[@ronburke]

I was there from 83 to 88 lived in phoenix I was in jerome every weekend pretty much I havent been back since 88 and I miss it big time

[@ronburke]

I want to be there right now , I sure do miss that northern desert, years ago I hauled pit run out of skull valley for the iron springs road project we worked up there around 3 months or so I should have bought some land back then I hauled for better built aluminum too from prescott valley back to texas oklahoma arkansas man some of the best times for me were in Arizona hahaha I think I may just go down for a few months and hang out!

Im from Australia. In 2004 i did 89A from Prescott to Flagstaff. I remember it being an amazing journey for a 22 year old but i never appreciated how special this area truely is. As a 42 year old now i really want to go back and take this all in with older eyes. Thank you Matt for sharing this and bring back those wonderful memories

[@Matosjay]

I rode through there last summer. Beautiful. I need to go actually spend time there some day

[@yanceyboyz]

Just upgraded from a 2000 road king to a 2015 ultra limited, we have a trip up through Scotland planned in a few weeks and I can't wait to feel the new bike on the long trips. Thanks Matt for all the info on Electra's etc and the Rushmore stuff, you're selling bikes to people 5000 miles away ha.

[@mrjon75]

I love my 2015 Ultra Limited.

[@toddaod295]

Another one for the big screen when I get home tonight. Thx Matt!

[@simonfuller7331]

Hi Matt from Kiewa, north east Victoria Australia. Just another fantastic video and one of the few places I've actually been to in the States. I was lucky enough to accompany my wife in August 2017 to a seminar in Phoenix and as she had to do all the work, I borrowed a Road King from Buddy Stubbs for 5 days and went out every day and explored. Now we know all about heat in Oz but nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing prepares you for the heat in AZ!!!!!! Travelled up the 17 from the city and the temp dropped to a much more reasonable 35 centigrade by the time I got to Lake Montezuma. Stunning scenery and friendly people (you try getting directions when you're lost in Phoenix - no one wanted to know till I got help from two lady police officers parked in their squad car) and a very laid-back experience. Brilliant !

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

What I like about your videos is that they look like something that would be on the discovery Channel or national geographic.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Dang! Huge compliment. Thank you

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

@@MattLaidlaw No problem and your videos are awesome 👌

[@Bill0167]

After watching this video, I have a trip planned at the end of April, and I added 89A into the road trip plans. Thanks for continuing to raise awareness on how important it is to get out and see the world through the lenses of a motorcycle journey! ~ Ride Safe

[@carlito3624]

This really helped my winter Nyc blues. Thank you.

[@carlito3624]

Also anyone know where Matts 1903 hat is available?

[@nbt3663]

What terrific video. If that doesn't make you want to ride, well it's obvious, you don't ride. Very cool video Matt.

[@johncallahan3573]

Shouldn't have watched this .... something just got added to my bucket list. Well done!

[@MrDoyle07]

When I came home from Iraq me young son Nate and I went out there. It was one of the most memorable of all our rides. The pine forests in Arizona are more precious than gold, and every memory of that is too. The 89 is a remnant of the old Pony Express trail. Arizona is incredible. It is as close to California as I have ever been too, one of the road signs indicated the Los Angeles exit… …I took a picture of it, probably not, but, maybe, someday.

[@steffenpfau2216]

Sedona is a great place to visit, would love to live there! I have been there, twice, and my son is named Jerome after the nearby ghost town and former Arizona capitol of Jerome. Visiting those places again on my Harley is a dream that I hope will come true some day. Thanks for this great Video! Greez from Germany.

[@JetlagJohnny]

I went to collage in Prescott and my classmates and I were ripping up those roads in ninjas and Interceptors back in the 80s…Now that we are all in our 60s, your video has inspired us to have a reunion ride on Harleys …Thanks!,,

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha nice. 👍🏼 yea, make that reunion happen.

[@robertdaley1194]

Love watching vids from other countries ,I’m out of action at present (fractured ankle)but looking forward as Spring has sprung here in Scotland ,Ps Laidlaw is a good Scottish name .Thanks Matt and Staff.

[@frankied5934]

That was awesome. Thank you for sharing this trip with us. Looking forward to your next adventure. Ride on!

[@jamesorellana4330]

I agree the best to date. It was like watching a short film festival clip. Really enjoyed. Need to figure out how to go.

[@ernieme101]

Sedona , Jerome and the surrounding area is one of my favorite places i've been . 1st time i was there was 1966 , Sedona was just the main street with a dozen or so shops and a few houses on side streets . most recent time was 4 years ago , oh boy what a change ! still the most gorgeous scenery , spent three days there hiking the hills and shopping for Navajo jewelery . even ate at that pizza place ! and Jerome is interesting for sure . sadly i've never been there on a motorcycle . it's on the bucket list for sure . great trip , great video .

[@MattLaidlaw]

Yea Sedona has grown a lot from what I have heard. Thanks for adding to the conversation

[@Idolismo]

As always man, fantastic video. Love these documentaries of yours.

[@johnmiddleton6252]

Absolutely awesome, stunning videography, phenomenal music.

Another good adventure for the Laidlaw Crew.. I am headed for Laughlin next week going to hit part of old Route 66 through Oatman, Kingman and up to Seligman. Great area for riding.

[@ChristianKustomz]

So good! I enjoyed every minute. I’ll ride this over the upcoming summer. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this beautiful footage

[@michaelofiara9732]

Best ride vids hands down. I like that you show each bikes details that are on the ride along with the personalities of rider and awesome cinematic shots of the ride itself. Well done my friend.

[@AustinSanderson.]

I lived in Sedona near bell rock for 2 years, sadly I didn’t get a motorcycle until I moved back to my home state of Wisconsin! I wish I could have rode oak creek canyon and Sedona on my bike now! Cheers

[@jimdaniels3542]

I've ridden all that area a few times. You always see something new you didn't see on the previous run. The colors of the mountains is just breathtaking. Sunset is my favorite time to ride there.

[@2wheelsgene171]

Excellent. Worth your hard work. The casino stop was hilarious for us oldsters as we would have hit the pillows immediately. 89A is now a top priority for us. Just have to figure out the best routing from the Bay Area.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha I’m hindsite maybe just hitting the pillow would have been best.

[@RoadKing-zl4jj]

seems that good times were had by all, thanks for sharing! 👍

Your best road video to date. Really great content you’re creating Matt! Keep it up! I love your creative choices. Question for you, you’re tall but doesn’t look like you struggle with wind buffeting. You have no lowers or fork fangs. What shield do you use?

[@dcxplant]

I lived in the Phoenix valley (Scottsdale and Fountain Hills) for over 15 years. We loved every minute of it. The motorcycling is epic. Be sure to make the run from Morenci to Alpine on US 191 in the eastern part of the state. Think 90 miles of Tail of the Dragon at 8000-9000 feet elevation with 100 mile vistas across the valley to the west.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Good to know. I’ll try to hit that next time.

[@dansklenicka8403]

My wife and I did the same route but the opposite way, left from Yuma Az up. Beautiful ride on a bike to-bad mine was in the garage back in Florida as we where in a rental. Best part of the trip was hands down the South Rim of the Grand Cannon. Thanks for the memories Matt.

Rode 89a in 2021 from Sedona to Flagstaff. Staying at Williams. Liked it so much went back the next day with my helmet cam and rode it again. The first day my gf was with me and I bought her a necklace from one of the native American vendors at that scenic stop. Great road!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Very nice road!

Matt, glad you guys got to come and visit my new hometown. I moved from San Diego to Prescott a few years ago because the riding here is amazing. No matter which direction you choose, you're going to have a scenic adventure. What you guys missed on 89A are the incredible OHV trails. You can take your Pan Am from Jerome to Route 66 in Williams on OHV roads. Get the book "Ride the Arizona Backroads".

[@richardashwood5771]

Great video. My daughter moved to Prescott about a year ago, so I’ve had the pleasure of riding some of those beautiful roads whenever I go there to visit her. I took a wrong turn into the house area and couldn’t find a way back out of there until a guy came out of his house yelling “you don’t belong here”. He gave me directions to get back on the main road. Being from Nevada for the past 40 years, I’ve ridden through some weird towns, but Jerome took weird to an-entire new level. You guys should have spent some time on Whiskey Row in downtown Prescott. They have some great bars there and a lot of history. Again you did a great job on this video. It almost felt like I was riding with y’all. Ride safe.
