Dedication.

This model took me a while. It's based on the man who immediately flew to Tasmania to rescue his son when his bike was hit by a car. You the best.

Pedro Mota on YouTube.

I've been following a few motorcycle travellers on Youtube.

A personal favourite is Pedro Mota who has ridden his much-repaired and modified '91 Honda Transalp across Europe, through Turkey, Iraq, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Russia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. He's currently locked-down in Argentina and hopes to ride to the southernmost tip of South America before turning around and heading north.

Here's a small selection from Pedro's channel:

* The blessings of the Big Guy (© Pedro Mota)

May the oil stay viscous and slippery,
and absent of water.
May the carburetor pump,
like a strong man's heart.
And may the engine keep pushing us
to further and further away destinations.
Help us now and then to make good foolish decisions,
but save us from the too-foolish ones.
Amen.
