Looks like you two guys were having a good time🎬🎥🆒enjoyed the ride through history well done 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hey, Doug! Thanks much! Oh yeah, had fun with this one. Have to go back once the trail is open all the way to the bay. Good excuse to go back. :)
Very nice. Pretty country.
Thanks much for watching, Wornout!
I enjoyed your "silent movie". The trail was beautiful and I can't wait until you can take us all the way to the bay. Keep on Triking! 🙂
Hey, Tom! Have to go back as soon as that construction is completed. Good excuse to make another silent movie! :)
Great ride, I never knew about the Niles trail thanks for sharing 💙⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks much, Paul! It’s a neat little trail and we really missed out on showing the best part because we weren’t able to get out to the bay. Next time!
Beautiful ride and historic tour. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much, Mark! Almost made it all the way to San Francisco Bay! Next time!
Great video... loved the history, the humor and the trail sights!
Hey, Glenn! I was shocked by how well the “silent movie” came out, with most of the credit going to Final Cut Pro X. That software constantly amazes me!
Your videos are fantastic, thanks boys😊
Thanks very much for watching, Arne!
Great video as always. I bet you had lots of fun making this one. See you next time 👍
Thanks very much, Dan! Too much fun making this. Now we have to figure out how to incorporate silent movies into all the videos. :)
Wonderful video. Loved the “historical” clip. Made me laugh.
Thanks much, LaSan! I’m pretty sure we had more fun making the silent film than we did on the ride. Looks like I missed my calling by 100 years or so. :)
Thanks for the great tour and a glimpse into the past. And your choice of music is perfect for a relaxing ride.
Thanks for watching, Wright! My brother did a good job of hunting down some nice music for this one! :)
Oh, and I like the bike in your icon! I just picked up a late 20’s early 30’s Hercules Speed King that’s been completely disassembled for frame painting so I’m still trying to sort out what I have and what parts I need to get this old girl back together. :)
@@bikestrikesrazors The bike is a Wright 1898 St. Clair which sold new for $42.50 (over $1,300 in today's dollars). This machine is in the Smithsonian and is one of only 5 Wright bicycles known to exist. What components are on your Hercules?
@@wrightflyer7855 Wow, how cool is that! Most of the component are unmarked, and from what I've read, by the 1920's Hercules was making most of their own components in house. However, what's left of the saddle is an original Persons 4-rail Track Racer which I'm sending in for restoration, and the rear coaster brake is marked "Harrow" in old script. I think I'll do a video soon showing everything in its current state and then working through the restoration. The only other reference I can find to this model is an old auction listing I found online: www.liveauctioneers.com/item/10058374_130-antique-hercules-speed-king-bicycle
@@bikestrikesrazors A restoration video would be great, something not often seen. Will you paint the frame yourself or send it out, and will any component plating be necessary? Sounds like a fun project.
Very clever guys👋🏼😂😂😂🐸
Thanks very much for watching, John!
Hi guys, it turned out very talented, especially at the end of the film, voice-over... My guys are now traveling from Denver to Aspen, I will send them your video, they love Charlie Chaplin very much:)
Thanks, Oleg! Your sons are getting quite a tour of the U.S.! Denver and Aspen are beautiful areas!
@@bikestrikesrazors It's so Joe, they want to see a concert of a band in Denver, I don't know its name, and then they want to go to Aspen... In general, they have already seen a lot, America is good for its location on the continent, as a result, very colorful nature and people, because they are from all over the world... I understand that your roots are in Italy?
Sicily on my dad’s side and Hungary/Romania on my mom’s side (not too far from you). :)
@@bikestrikesrazors A rattling mixture, I should note:) the surname is almost like Al Capone's:)
California's "high-speed" rail...
That’s about as “high speed” as it gets around here for the time being. :)
Did you ever make it back?
I did go back but didn't make a video of it. Maybe in the future we can re-visit the trail!
What are those white things on your feet? Assuming some kind of strap pedal …
Hi Terri! Those are just the Velcro straps that tighten the shoes instead of laces. Thanks for watching!
@@bikestrikesrazors They were going round and round too fast to see and too fast to pause! With that trike (and that leg power!) I’d pick you out as a clip-in kind of guy anyway.
Yep, clip-ins on that trike. :)@@terrienoll225
