Nick Sanders documentaries would suit you. He's an all round great bloke and amongst other things is employed by Yamaha as an ambassador.

So I stumbled on some feature length youtube vids today on KTMAustralia channel about some rally they do, then saw one in New Zealand. Anyway long story short they were made by Adam Riemann, search ARiemann1
I think they're well filmed and narrated and contain cool KTMs - all of which are important to me. I like the Long Way series, I've not seen Races to Places will have to check that out. C90 Adventures wasn't for me

There is also a spoof fillum where joules Holland takes a Vincent to the USA. Funny but I have never been able to find a copy of it.

Nobody's mentioned Sons of Anarchy...???
Does no-one here like comedies and fantasies ? Of course with a fair bit of gore, stereotypes and plenty of gratuitous violence and sex.
A few questions though, how long can anyone ride with their hands above shoulder level ? Do you have to be ambidextrous to join a gangsta bike club ? They all seem to be excellent pistol marksmen with their left hands …? And when you're in a gang do you become immune to the laws of physics ? When a dozen or so of them chase a pick-up truck they ride in a well disciplined formation. I'm sure if I was driving the truck and I thought their intentions were less than honourable, a bit of full power braking and some high speed swerving would almost certainly discourage them ! And reversing over the ensuing casualties would definitely get the message across.....
Mind you they probably don't teach those driving tactics in the USA. They must do in the UK though, and plenty of the Nova GT drivers are determined to get some practice in !
