  • 117 riders entered Sandraiders 2023 to experience riding on 1600km of tracks used in the legendary Paris-Dakar race during the eighties and nineties.
    I entered this year on a Yamaha TT600 alongside my son Charlie, who took his Honda XR600R this year and in this video you get see what happens as we scramble through some of the greatest scenery Morocco has to offer over the 7-days the Sandraiders event runs for. Dunes, dust lakes, rocky passes, they're all here!

    I can’t help but think some of those 60 new first-timers might be due to Harry’s promotional skills last year 😅

    Sucks that I know this won’t get as many views as the car videos. I love it that Harry still does motorcycle videos for the few of us who care.

      That's so true, he has a fine collection of classic bikes, that probably mean nothing to a lot of people.
      It's so cool to see them out there being used.

    • @dreamcrusher112
      @dreamcrusher112 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      There simply aren't as many bikers as car drivers, but I bet this audience is far more devoted to the content and will have higher retention over the series.

    • @peterwoodhead2569
      @peterwoodhead2569 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      38,000 views 20 hours in, it’s not doing too bad, the car guys maybe latching on to the bike videos, well done Harry, as usual, plus great content from Charlie, great team effort.

      IMO it doesn't suck at all. Even tho I'm not a biker (ie a sad shadow of a person in your view I suppose from your wording "...the few of us who care...") I still enjoy this video to the fullest. My enjoyment isn't spoiled of the number of views it gets, low or not. I guess we're very different in that respect.

    Love these! They may not have been the most popular vids as you said in your round up last year, but those of us who love it really love since there's not much else like it on TH-cam. There's more than a few of us who'd love to do Sandraiders one day!

    Last July I rode a 2012 DR650 through the outback from one side of Australia to the other. 8,500 kilometres from Byron Bay to Steep Point and on to Perth. There were 14 of us. I made a film and used my own music as the soundtrack. There were shitloads of bike issues, but we had Tex O Grady, a legend of a biker as a mechanic.

    This is amazing! I wish I could re-live my childhood, 7 year old fantasy of watching taped Dakar episodes from around 96,97 and do this event. We had an africa twin, I owned a kdx, but had a model KDX (the original) and it was my dream to just get a sense of the adventure. (I didn't know the extent of how hectic it was) but it was fun to daydream. Fun fact, IIRC the XT500 had a kickstarter that could easily launch you over the bars or break your leg if you didn't know what you were doing. Beautiful bikes all in all.

    Can't fault the decision to fit the electric start on the TT. I had a XR650R a few years back (prior to it getting stolen😡) and it could be a b*tch to start after it had fallen over. Lugging comparatively heavy dirt bikes like these around in 30deg+ heat must be exhausting but what an adventure!👍
