Sturgis Chronicles Ep.6 - "Choppical" Pool Party

[@speedpig513]

Love this series Matt! It will forever be one of the best motorcycle trips hand down!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks for helping me create this life time memory my friend!

[@heathwest3718]

Y'all have a real chemistry that's rare and natural. It's very cool watching friends have fun enjoying these short lives

[@jplessard87]

Hopefully @speedpig513 gets to go back on trip with the Laidlaw Crew 😅

[@Paul20661]

*Hell yeah brother* sad to see it's over IT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING SERIES GG Matt u rly did an exceptional job with the editing on this one

[@stevek8829]

Every dealership across the country owes at least a few sales to Matt. The U.S. #1 salesman.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks man. Haha, I for sure sell more at other dealers than my own store. Not by choice though!

[@jorgejorge57]

ABSOLUTELY! I wanna run for a Harley. 😍

[@yanceyboyz]

I bought an ultra limited in the UK because of Matt. Worldwide salesman 🤣

[@bikerintheblood]

You know there are many reasons why I love the HD brand, but it really comes down to one. The few people who inspire me to seek out adventure on a Harley-Davidson. It may sound OTT but you’re one of the few who are an inspiration through sharing your experiences with your friends, colleagues and rest of the world. I’m now working out a way to make Sturgis, travelling from England. I may never get the chance to ride with you, but so many of us are with you in spirit. Thank you Matt.

[@MattLaidlaw]

This comment means a lot my friend. Get a few of your best friends and make the trip happen. One of my main goals is to inspire people to enjoy riding. Glad that's what people get out of the videos.

[@DeBa1226]

Brother this series start to finish is as good as it gets. That’s how you travel with your boys, and get your riding in every day. Tomorrow you should all flip your calendars, even the peeps who couldn’t make this trip, cross out the dates to Sturgis 2024, as non-negotiable etched in stone dates, the whole posse signs up for, start putting money away today, so everyone can make it happen, for memories of a lifetime.

[@hemi398]

This is the best Rally video yet. Great job, thanks for sharing.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤙🏼

[@feloniousmonk3049]

Matt, so stoic and deadpan. " Great day for a pool party" as the rain comes pounding down, once removed from inside the garage. You boys are pro's when it comes to Adventure.... making the best of it, what Ma Nature gave you. I've been to Sturgis 2 years in a row, now, pre bike rally in July. 2022 was sunny, 2023 was terribly smoky and rainy, every single afternoon and night. I'd say that Matt, give it a shot in 2024 or 2025, and hope you do all those beautiful rides in sunshine, and smoke free. There's just something about the water, the blue skies, the lush green forests, the lakes, and bright middle of summer sunshine, and the polished concrete roads that lace all throughout the Black Hills, that makes the place motorcycle riding Nirvana, on those roads. Get there pre rally, slow down a bit, unwind, and Deadwood /Sturgis takes on a whole new super vibe when it's less crowded. Matt, you have a very unique, one of a kind editing and shooting style as a videographer and story teller. I just don't know how you do it, but it's wonderful to watch, and I look forward to it.

[@MattLaidlaw]

A motorcyclists nirvana - perfect description. Yes, I’d like to come back again during the rally and try it without the rally. I think you described it perfectly. The area has every ingredient to make for an amazing bikers play ground. Thanks for the compliment on my editing and filming. I put in a ton of effort so it’s good to hear people appreciate it.

[@maximusreed]

Matt laidlaw with that laid back approach to making a vlog. Always enjoyable content well done

[@spajul1]

Sturgis Chronicles IS ONE OFF THE BEST VLOGS YOU'VE DONE AND AMAZING FILM FOOTAGE . WELL DONE TO YOU AND THE GUYS

[@dmfband]

Me and the wife enjoyed watching your videos on the motorcycle. Thought it was cool seeing Danny and 2lane life who we also watch. As our motorcycle riding ending here in Canada hope you keep doing videos to help us go through winter and still enjoying motorcycle riding even if it's watching you guys riding. Drive safe. Cheers

[@ronsheehan2184]

This was easily one of my favorite things I have ever watched on KZbin. Thanks to the Laidlaw team and friends for making this a must watch.

[@MattLaidlaw]

🤜🏼🤛🏼 seriously appreciate this. It’s a huge compliment to know people enjoyed the series. Thanks for watching.

[@Neocleese]

Great series Matt. Kudos to you and your crew of filmmakers for their fine work and giving us a taste of Sturgis. Thanks again.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you sir. I always appreciate your support

[@LRSTFJ]

Amazing Matt as always, your editing is awesome and you tell the story in a way that keeps us coming back. I’ve really enjoyed all six episodes and looked forward to each one.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you snow dude! We appreciate it.

[@Got2BTru522]

Great series and much appreciation from Florida. I am 60, have ridden for 50 years, but have never made it to Sturgis or the area. Your series completely motivates me to make Sturgis a must trip. Thank you.

Haha thanks man!! I get pumped when people like my Intros.

Wow! Binge-watched this two days-in-a-row! Best Chronicles / Series I've watched in a couple years! Makes me wanna buy a RKS from you guys and ride it back to my home state of Ohio and chronicle my own One Week Adventure! Thank you for all the time you've put into this Series and your other videos as well!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you! Best kind of comment I can get. Do it man. Take a ride from CA to Ohio on your new bike 🤙🏼

[@vicluncinski5258]

Love this Matt. Please keep up all the great work.. Thanks for the ride along !! Great crew you ride with.

[@glenngarza1845]

Enjoyed this series. The riding, including the rough weather (been there); the roads and sites, comraderies: Never been to Sturgis, but because of past rides I experienced, was (sort of) able to experience the whole thing through you. So much better than most "bike week" videos. Thanks.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks Glenn. Your comment represents the exact reason I make the videos. Much appreciated.

[@simonabram6120]

Thank you Matt and crew for the series.

[@christiaanschoenmakers1290]

Great video. You have a gift Matt. Keep making travel videos. You inspire me to get out and ride more.

Great job!!!!!!

Hey Matt love your content, all the way up in Alberta watching for next video lol 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@hoss6048]

You are blessed man. I ride alone quite often..I had some friends in So Cal I rode with but now I’m up in Nor Ca..I don’t have too many friends up here….just how’s it been..to have a “family” to ride with is precious.

[@rpmfreak9150]

Making me wish I was actually there, is one of the best things about your videos Matt. You and your team doesn't let a little thing like rain ,stop y'all from keeping your obligations to meet your fans and party.

[@theladwiththebeard]

Great series!

[@kenmarapese9085]

Entertaining series, loved it! Well produced!

[@splodge5714]

Another great series, already looking forward to the next one. Thanks to you all. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@treyscott4599]

I'm so late to watching this series. I've watched a lot of your videos but this is by far my favorite. The passion you show for riding and for Harley Davidson is so contagious. I found myself excited to go see this place and ride those roads for myself. Thank you for bringing us along on such a great trip. 🤘

[@cschauer]

Matt your videos are second to none full stop. The scenery is biblical, and your cinematography and video quality is epic. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

[@emulevu]

Man I finally had the chance complete the series, really inspirational. One thing I took away from this is to live in the moment. Thanks Matt and crew! 🙌

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks for watching. 🤙🏼 enjoy life while you can.

[@cameronbartley6139]

2 Wheels forever on a Harley Davidson. The Sturgis Chronicles was absolutely awesome. Matt the time you put into ur Videos is #1 over the top. I enjoy them been a subscriber for a long time. Keep them coming..

[@raymondmccranie3611]

Really enjoyed this series. Makes we won't to go even more than I already did. Great film work.

[@stevearmstrong3442]

Well done Matt !! Love your blogs !!

[@shep68]

I'm not an ATGATT nazi, but flip flops on a bike gives me the heebies! Too many bloody, mangled feet pics out there. As you're aware at the time of publishing this, you all missed the sunshine that followed the rainy start to this years rally. Bummer...lol! Glad you enjoyed it tho. I love living out here in the West. Every state has awesome riding best experienced on 2 wheels. ✌

[@MattLaidlaw]

Sometimes we use gear sometimes we don't. Watch the other 5 videos, we got mostly sunshine the whole trip.

[@jimrobinson703]

Great series Matt. Never been to Sturgis and never really had a desire to go. I’m retiring in about 4 months and after watching your videos I think I’m going to have to add it to my bucket list. I would like to go early and avoid the major crowds like you did. Again, love all you travel videos and this one tops them all. Keep up the great work. Cheers 🍻

[@MattLaidlaw]

Yea man, go a few weeks early if you really want to avoid crowds. The riding and area are so worth it. Definitely go.

[@oscars6030]

Simply inspiring and amazing!!!! Thank you Matt and thank your boys.. whenever I’m in LA I will come to your dealer and meet you guys in person.. rookie rider here of a Harley as well.. can’t wait to ride in your confidence level and looking forward to similar adventures!!! Best wishes always for all of you guys!!! ✌🏼😎

Keep riding you’ll get there. Come visit anytime. 🤙🏼 thanks for the comment.

Matt, Andrew, Daniel thank you for all the efforts involved. Very much appreciated. Matt, this is a terrific Sturgis vlog you’ve done…. It’s convinced me to start planning a trip for my first time to Sturgis. What a beautiful country we live in… can’t wait to see it with my own eyes. Thanks p.s nice finish in the pool jump ;)

[@raysydneyaustralia]

Loved all 6 episodes. Nice job Guys! 👏

[@kenkenyon444]

2lane life and thrashin supply guys in the same building as the Laidlaw crew! That would have been a fun night being there!

[@MarcChandler-m9v]

Incredible trip and documentary. It's great that you not only show the fun and awesome parts, but the parts that don't look that great. I love your crew's willingness to sell out for the quality of the content. I look forward to your next video. It will be difficult to top this series, but I am confident that you and the Laidlaw Harley Davidson Crew (and guests) will do just that.

[@timjohnson5163]

This episode was hilarious!! Your dead pan delivery is the best. Make the best of what life throws at you! Great content.

[@carmensaltarelli1387]

Enjoyed the series so much. Thanks to you guys for taking us along. Trip of a lifetime for you all. Awesome!!

Judging someone living their life is dumber than anything else. You prolly ride with full gear and go speed limit mind your own business. Dont like it dont watch.
