A new online docu-series and Discovery Channel special from Harley-Davidson, called Common Ground, is inviting viewers to tag along on a life-changing journey across Canada with an international group of riders.

Common Ground highlights their epic journey celebrating 100 years of the historic Harley-Davidson brand in Canada, part foreign exchange, part road trip, the three-part online series sees each of the three riders paired with a Canadian host. Together, they venture off on a six-day exploration of the Great White North.

Common Ground is a co-production between award-winning Toronto-based agency Zulu Alpha Kilo’s content studio, zulubot, and Artifact Nonfiction out of LA.

To promote the series, Zulu also worked with renowned illustrator Adi Gilbert of 99seconds on stylized posters of riders on Harley bikes set against different Canadian landscapes. The posters became so sought after as works of art that people began tearing them down from construction barricades and other public displays to keep as collectors’ items.
