I thought they did a great job on that video as well Barry, which kinda goes without saying ofcourse. 
Can we get a clip of you on your Harley someday? Seriously though that would be cool.
His Ariel VHA 500 is also in the "MotorcycleMojo magazine's 2020 calendar for the month of September as well.
A short clip of him riding his Ariel VHA he did in 2016:
Here's one of his clips from the Kawasaki Triples rally held at his place in these specific years. Locations vary year to
year in the U.S.A and Canada as I understand it.

Triples in Tweed II

I'm not much for selfies, and I don't have any clips of the bike in motion. But here are a few pics of the bike in front of some various landmarks (all located in Texas):
This is Stonehenge and Easter Island, located in Ingram, TX.
And this is from the OTHER Stonehenge in Texas, in Odessa.
Here's a mildly well known "Target store" outside Marathon, TX, which I found on www.roadsideamerica.com. I can't find my pic of the Prada store, but it's an epic little art installation near Valentine and Marfa, TX.
And here are a few of the various international-named cities in and around Texas. I've been compiling a Texas Passport, visiting various international-named areas around Texas, I've found about 80 so far, but here are a few.

And, just for the heck of it, here's my other bike, a little Benelli TNT135 (comparable to a Honda Grom). I've been working on converting it to a micro Adventure Bike.
It's fun in its own way, but mainly in trying to get something to do something that it was never designed to do. Here's what happened when I found out that the dirt road I thought was a dirt road was, in fact, thick sticky nasty mud:

Hilarious. Imagine being able to go to Easter Island and Stonehenge on the same day? Badass bike too!

I have to admit I haven't seen a Fat Bob here at all.maybe not big sellers in Canada, who knows but I do like the looks of them.

I made some mistakes using the Go Pro (Ariel VHA) I'm going to try another one as a challenge..maybe riding the 36 Norton this time

Ahhh, you made it.
If your doing a themed one, like from-a-different-era type of thing, I have updated software now from the last time I did some VFX. And I have nothing but free time now if you ever want to play around with some ideas. It would certainly give me something to do.
haha.
Cool. Sounds good.

Thanks! I've got some pics in front of the Greek Parthenon (Nashville, TN) and Eiffel Tower (in Paris, TN) and Texas's Eiffel Tower (in Paris, TX; of course the Texas one has a cowboy hat on top). Found a dutch windmill in Nederland, TX. And Texas has a piece of the original Blarney Stone, I can't remember if it was in Dublin or Ireland or ... wait, it was in Shamrock. And we have two Egypts. And a couple of Wellingtons. For Great Britain, we've got two Londons (Old and New), Scotland, England, Liverpool... that's all I can think of. There might be more.
Most of the international places (like Israel, Medina, Mecca, Ireland, Asia) are either tiny cities, or actually just spots on the map with nothing there. Like Saturn (yes, we have Earth and Mars and Pluto and Saturn and a couple of others); Saturn doesn't exist anymore except for a cemetery. So lots of the places I went had to be documented by taking a screenshot of Google Maps when it said "Welcome To Tokio" at the end of the trip... and there's one place, I think it was Toronto, that I couldn't actually get to because it was in a big ranch's front yard. There was a gate. I waited around a bit to see if anyone would show up and if I could ask them if it'd be okay to ride up to get a photo, but never saw anybody, so I took a photo of the gate and had to call it good.

Thought it might be of interest.
Sturgis Bike Rally 2020
My Brother rode down there in the mid-late 80s on his BMW I think it was. I wore the T-Shirt he brought back for me for years.
He said one bar down there had sawdust/wood-shavings for a floor. Quite the place I guess. I can only imagine.
