I Never Thought I'd Get THIS Close To It! Ep7

- Today is my day off, so I decided to bite the bullet and take a camel into the heart of the desert. I knew I wanted to photograph the Sahara, but I never thought for a second I'd end up in the MIDDLE of it all, resulting in getting SO many incredible images to cherish forever!
I could talk about this day alone for years to come, let alone the rest of the trip!

I watch way more motorcycle/travel content than is probably healthy, and I can say unequivocally that this is the best series I've seen in a VERY long time. You've taken us all along with you in a way that very few creators/producers manage to do. Well done, sir! Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much 🙏
Totally agree
Yep. Good effort.
100% agree what fantastic photography to Rich 👍😉,
Agreed.
Absolutely Stunning images Richy . Regards Glenn.👍
Amazing how your footage slowed this episode down and showed the majesty of it all. What an experience for you Rich. And we’re all blessed to have been able to share it. Thank you👍
Stunning, can’t say much more than that.
Awww 🥰 brilliant . What a great video. Loved the music near the end. It reminded me of local hero 😊
O.M.G...I am loving this series! Just outstanding scenery and your editing skills are fantastic. Love your positive outlook and finding so many hospitable, friendly folks. That bike is a beast, and you handled it like a bad-ass! I just got done with Ep. 8 and now I'm wondering how the heck you got over those rocks! But I had to come back to this episode. This one is so, so beautiful. I could feel your love for the area. Well-done! Love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Aah great to hear from you, Wheels! Thank you very much for your comment. Really glad you found it! Hope all is well with you in Arizona? 🏜️
Absolutely fantastic filmmaking. You make us feel like we are riding along with you. Your interactions with the local Moroccan people is inspiring. Now Morocco has moved to the top of my motorcycle must do travel list. Keep up the excellent and inspirational work. Looking forward to the next video.
Literally peering into another galaxy from the desert! Great shot of Andromeda 20:33 in your night photos!
Thank you 🙏
Once again I enjoy your perspective. I never thought I would ever want to return to Africa. I love the night sky when you can actually see it.
Good morning Sunshine!! Looks fabulous
Fantastic brings back so many memories. My wife n I did the camel trek from Erg Chebi and slept on blankets in the desert. We spent a night looking at shooting stars and the Milky way, it was awesome. That was 20 years ago and was the start of our adventures. Shame we didn't have Gopros. . Thanks.👍FB
Wow - those night shots ! What a great trip
What an amazing experience and fantastic photos… definitely memories to last a lifetime 👍
Thank you for sharing your travels. You go to/have been to some of the most incredible motorcycle destinations in the world, and I always love getting to watch you travel. Your photos are incredible, I very much appreciate getting to see them
More to come! And thank you very much
All these lights in Sahara camp mask the greatest view on the planet: the stars in the sky. We, city dwellers, cannot imagine how clear night sky looks in complete darkness.
Wow richy absolutely stunning what views you have had safe journey home.
Truly beautiful ❤️
What an amazing country and series 👏👏👏👏👏
What a stunning series, I have loved each solo trip, you take us with you on the journey. Amazing video production and breathtaking photography 🏍 😍 many thanks RV
Thanks so much!
Some stunning photos... and at 20:33 you even managed to capture M31 the Andromeda Galaxy.... something I wished I could see as a naked eye object, but being in Adelaide it's usually not visible. Thankyou for sharing Richy. :)
❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Just amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
Rich, I don't know what it is, but these travel videos of yours...they just get me. I mean, if I might think long enough I could point out what exactly moves me, touches me...I don't quite konw how to say it in english, I'm just some middle aged bavarian bloke having a beer (or two, Andechser Doppelbock if someone cares) binging away this series and thinking "This lad and his Norway Series made look away from the Triumph Thruxton I wanted so bad when I got my motorcycle license eight years ago and got me into touring...". And I do not regret a thing. Well, except I have not made it to Norway yet and now you're giving me the Morocco fix. Great ;-)
Thank you! I’m glad it makes you feel like that. Cheers, my friend! 🍻
Fine work.Thk you.
Awesome mate. I think it's safe to say that what you've had is a life changing experience. How about putting links in the description for the hotels and camp where you stayed?
Very very special Richy lad, what an experience! Imagine taking a group down there, they - like you - would be blown away.
I can't wait!
Absolutely stunning,
What a fantastic experience,
I've really enjoyed this trip of yours 😊,
So glad!
Just when you think it cant get any better,along comes the "Stills"bloody awesome mate,;-)
Ride Safe Mr B \m/
Superb !!
Hi Richy. I have watched many touring videos over the years but this Morocco trip and particular Ep7 is the best one yet. I head of on 7th April just for 5 nights and only hope I can feed the mind body & soul as you certainly have done.
Thanks very much. I think this episode is one of my personal favourite pieces of work. And I've turned out a lot of work! Really appreciate, thank you. Enjoy your trip, and allow yourself to take it all in.
The double humpers are better than the single humpers..
It’s like having an Africa twin L or the Africa twin adventure sport… 😂
Just 5:35 in. And so far awesome stuff Richard.. 👍👍👍
The way back will be a mix of emotions, awe, happiness yet sad that you had to leave it'll all behind.
Head over shoulders Richie.
Taking motorcycle vlogging to the final level. 🤙🏆
Well said. I’m still sad now! ❤️🇲🇦
Mega desert and rocks mountain in morroco. Thanks for sharing man 👌
Thanks for watching
Another fantastic vid richy what a place you can tell by your speech that the place realy got to you i may have to join you on you return visit 😊
Just breath taking Richy, people use the word "awesome" when things aren't, but that genuinely is.
Wow, wow, those photos are just stunning. Great series Richy
Another awesome Morocco Tour video, truly beautiful desert scenery, loved the camp you stayed in, clearly the winter months are the best time to visit, empty roads , cooler temperatures and no tourists, what's not to like.
Yes it was!
Thank you..that was just beautiful man👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing footage 👏 👏👏👏
Reminds me of Skegness when the tide is out, somewhere near the West Frisian Islands. Another great video RV. What a stunning place to go and ride.
Wow wow and wow. For me the best tour you have ever done. And there’s been so many great ones.
❤❤
Wow, thank you! 🙏
Hi Rich!, Absolutely breathtaking!, Your Photography is outstanding!, When you get time could you please put a rough costing of your trip ?, For the rest of us to have a rough idea!,
Thanks!👌👌🏴
Will do!
The picture of the two camels and the Africa Twin - for me that is the picture!! - 👌👌
🙌
Amazing
Nice desktop wallpaper level photos
Wow Richy. Absolutely stunning photos. Loving the dance around your tent. I would've done the exact same especially as there was no one around. Brilliant series 🤙😊
Looks like you got the Andromeda galaxy in a couple of those pics! Amazing trip Richy.
I've watched collabs with you in them prior and your vlogging ability is well undersold in them.
This series is an eye opener. 👍
Takes me back. A few years ago we did a trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate then undertaking a circular route taking in many of the visitor destinations including the Dades Gorge and Merzouga. The camel ride into the desert must have been one of the most painful experiences i have encountered :S. The camp was a bit more Spartan than your 5 star booking :) We got to sleep outside on a mattress under the stars. It must have been a bit warmer. Don't forget Morocco has a rich filming heritage.
Really? I was surprised how relaxing the journey was!
@@RichyVida you must have had the Ghia one :)
Stunning production and images Richy, the best touring vid you have done by a mile - humbling to see how the ‘ other half’ live, and you know what… they’re a damn sight better off than us with our European trappings off wealth and expectations. Makes you think for sure …. superb, thank you !
Thank you very much 🙏
18 minutes in. Just awesome: even here back at home. I love the fire outside and cooking. The band company you had.. great stuff. Stars I’d love to have seen. But yeah on camera doesn’t do a good job.
Actually I got a telescope a few weeks ago. But so much light pollution. Or cloudy as…
So far as said .great video..
If you organise a trip here. If live to join. Although will be on a baby crf 😂
Just incredible! Your images of the desert are spectacular. I dread to think how many Dakar Rally videos I've watched but they just don't show the vast, serene beauty as you have done tonight. Thank you Rich. The highlight so far!
Beautiful pictures, I have to say you are also such a good photographer to pic theses great views. Thx fo sharing and enjoy your moments in morroccan Sahara.
Thank you very much!
Richy this journey has been absolutely outstanding. The colours, filming and photography is award winning. your solo trips in winter have been amazing and each one gets better and better. i am glued to my screen from start to finish and i can't stand sand lol, but i would definitely do that trip.
Thank you for watching all of it. That’s always my intention and that’s nothing to do with “audience retention”, it’s to do with the episode having a beginning, middle and end! Thank you
Wow just wow RV.
It's an absolutely amazing video. You have drawn me completely into your experience, my wife and I are now planning a trip across. Thank you for sharing.
I can only echo what others have said just fantastic loved watching it you are so fortunate to be able to experience it well done and ride safe
Again gobsmacked . Just wow . A great video and great photos . Thank you.
You know you’ve done a few miles when you go for a ride and meet up with camels a few days later! Great experience!
What a place 😁
Awesome, thank you
Great content Richard. Did you know that sand from the Sahara Desert was and probably is still exported to the Canary Islands. Hot sure about the Lifin 125 cc lol😯
them old stars :D cracking video. Sounded like local hero at first ,
Lovely video richy thanks 😊
Mega..........and those stars WOW
Wow what outstanding photos , that camp was amazing
Yes it was! Even better with no people!
Another great episode mate . Fantastic images and great to see it means so much to you your emotions come across as really genuine. Congratulations enjoying every minute of this series 👏
Thanks a ton!
Good on ya mate. Bloody brill👍👍
Incredible, absolutely Incredible....!
Brilliant vlog again Richy - the stars at night are mesmerising.
Yes they are. I didn’t want to stop shooting. I was freezing and tired, but just felt compelled to keep taking more pictures. Very special night/day
Stunning , the night sky pics are awesome 😎
What do you see at 20:33? Quite sure it's the Andromeda Galaxy. :)
Glad you like them!
At least you taken the Africa twin to Africa and the sand, great video as always Rich what an experience you had.
Absolutely stunning photos thank you for sharing them , wonderful memories to treasure that's for sure.
Wow that’s absolutely stunning a once in a life experience would love to do that great vid richy 🙏

Marvellous series, that sunrise and the stars just magical, what an amazing location.
Pictures of the stars 🤯🤯 amazing experience , thank u for sharing ❤️
My pleasure 😊
I'd never really had this on my travel list but after this series so far ...amazing richy...thank you brilliant work
Almost speachless, amazing! 😊
Rich. Know what your talking about. Same in the Gulf... Always looked forward to the night and the stars, But it gets cold. Must say. Brilliant series.
A cracking sedate video . Amazing how the emotions of a simple sunrise can “Cure” you. Memories of living in the gulf and spending the weekend in the dunes came flooding back .
Have to say the pics on the iPhone were amazeballls.
Cracking episode again Richy .
Hurry up Sunday next week
Wednesday 👍
Your positive vibes throughout this video are truly infectious! The footage was absolutely incredible. Thanks a ton for sharing such an amazing content with us!
Thanks so much!!
Great vid
Wow…. Amazing. You were obviously emotional watching the sunrise in the desert. Great photos!
Thank you! Yep, it’s not everyday you can sit and watch the sun set and then rise in the Sahara! ❤️
Not sure if I have already commented but as always Richy ❤❤❤
Stunning photos, I have a 15 pro and I don’t think I’ll ever get to use it to its full potential like that. Amazing job.
Wow! Top drawer! thanks for sharing amazing footage and photos.If you’re going back I’m in😲🌟✨
Wow and pictures never do it justice 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻amazing
Exactly John. Although I tried very hard to capture the true essence of it on camera; I selfishly kept a bit back for myself ❤️
What a fantastic trip. Amazing photos 😄👍
Thank you 🙏
Seen a lot of motorcycle tours of Morocco which mostly put me off. Your videos do the opposite. Thank you.
Glad to hear that!
Over twenty of us stayed in the Sahara on motorbikes no one except me would get up for the sunrise it was 5.30am photos for proof they don't realise what they missed, I was right there with you man fantastic 🌅👌
I’m with you, Alan. Why on earth would you NOT get up?! 🙌
First off all, thank you Richy for shairing your beautiful and fantastic adventure, it really is an epic journey for us as well watching it from home...so thank you 🙏
I'm a little bit surpriced that you don't have a sidestand foot enlarger like Sw-Motech but i think you will sort that out when you get back home!
Drive safe home mate and take care ☀️🏍💙
Sheers from Sweden
Had one on the Big Lad. Haven’t had chance to put one on Keith, yet 👍
I’d just watched episode 6 and then this popped up! Awesome.
What a place, thanks for bringing us this 🙏
Now that's what you call a trip of a lifetime.
Amazing,just absolutely amazing, 👏 👍👌
I’m sure you’d have a good crack at filling the camp with a tour group. Looks amazing and definitely on the bucket list.
Amazing ,loved it ❤
Wow what an adventure Richy , so pleased for you and thank you for sharing amazing 👍👏👏
Amazing. Such a brilliant video and amazing journey ❤
Morocco looks absolutely stunning! The people are just amazing! ❤
