the latest FortNine video is quite interesting...a look back at the Hercules motorcycle which used a Wankel Rotary engine, and a few bikes that followed (and failed) after it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3HBAvkc4a0

Itchy Boots is my fave. And I just came across this dude who bought a 32 year old Honda Dominator. Rode it from Germany, through Denmark, then hopped a ferry to Iceland. Then toured Iceland for a month over sometimes gnarly terrain. Good viewing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ7C_y5TRcg I also watch Itchy boots, she's very courageous. Literally driving all over the globe by herself on sketchy dirt roads.... amazing landscape. she's on her third bike i think
