Malle Moto - The Forgotten Dakar Story

- They say you only really grow at the very edge of your comfort zone. For the last three years Lyndon Poskitt has been stretching that comfort zone one kilometre at a time. From the safety of corporate existence to the freedom of a motorcycle and the open road to the biggest challenge of his life as he rides 150,000km to take part in the hardest class of the most brutal motor race in the world.
In 2014 Lyndon Poskitt set off from the UK with a simple goal, to ride round the world on his motorcycle and race rallies in every continent he visits. A voyage of discovery? Or escape? As his time on the road grew, along with his hair and confidence, it dawned on Lyndon that as the world has become smaller the idea of adventure has lost it’s way.
Inspired by the early pioneers of exploration and speed, he entered the infamous Dakar Rally, now hosted in South America. Lyndon looked to the pre-commercialised origins of the race where competitors set off with very little assistance or hope of reaching the finish line. To this day, even though the Dakar Rally has outgrown it’s humble origins, it still retains the Malle Moto class for those who seek a pure test of spirit and endurance. One man. One bike. One box of tools. 12 days and 10,000 kilometers of hard racing.
In 2017, as the only competitor to ride to the start line, Lyndon was to discover the limit of his already stretched comfort zone. There would be only one way to discover what lies beyond it…
If you liked this film don't forget that you can watch Lyndons 'Races To Places LIVE' project this January as he attempts to win the 2018 Malle Moto class of the Dakar Rally all whilst being filmed live by his intrepid film crew...

Not politicians, not footballers, not pop stars... it's guys like this kids should look up too.

smokeybarr True 😉🤙
I’ve always said, go out and do a desert race, and tell me you aren’t a better, stronger person because of it.
smokeybarr I look up to this I’m 16
I am now 54 years of age and you are living my dream, I regret not following my heart at the age of 18, I wanted to ride my XT500 to the end of the world and back. It was expected of us to go and fight a war and then start a job.
Well done man, live your dream.
Respect!!!
Sounds like you live on the southern tip of Africa Len. I had the same dreams as well...
54 is not too late, many do it, make it happen man .. don't regret to die and never dare to try.
Check out Ian Coates, he is like 80 and travels on his Africa Twin all the time.
SOUND LIKE YOU’RE SOUTH AFRICAN, LEN?
@@richardpooley5535 , yes sir. My family has been here since 1678
What a personality. Through blood sweat & tears he musters strength beyond most others.
Very moving and inspiring, Lyndon is such a great human being and ambassador for Adventure riding
It's content like this that leads me to spend less and less time looking at a television and more and more time looking at a computer. Why in the name of god would I waste my precious few hours of relaxation after the kids have gone to bed on pop star wannabes jumping through hoops for condescending judges, D-list celebs making twats of themselves in a house, cookery programs or any number of 'reality' offerings when THIS is sat at my fingertips? Awesome film Mr Poskitt......simply awesome. Good luck for 2018!!
The same reason why i gave up on Television. The Internet is the future today...sadly governments are trying to destroy it.
im lucky enough to have been born in 2000 so i grew up with tech all my life. i dont think i will ever own a tv in my life, and i dont think there will be many from my generation that will. good riddance
DJL 68 whats cool is we have smart tvs so i can watch lyndon on a 66inch screen!
Wait till you see a video of how to assemble a working computer online in minutes from boxes of parts pieces of different brand names and the video person showing you how is a 5 year old little girl...all of a susden you wont feel mentally challenged and will have this compelling erg to check out newegg , tiger direct ebay, and amazon for DIY bare bones pc kits as we are men who will not be shown up by children ....and bada bing you can snap together a real pc using only a number #2 Phillips screwdriver and end up with a behemoth that runs faster than you can tell it what to do with a mouse or keyboard or voice command .. For 500 bucks it will be faster than anything in your office and cost three times less that what dell has to offer or all of wally world put together ....cool part of this deal is you get to send in registration warranty cards on every component that are usually covering said component for two years and higher end pieces will be longer coverage ....example if your 15 hundred buck Dell breaks down after 20 days you dont get anything back brand new and not even the same computer , but instead a totally "refurbished dell" (from hell) ..as you will end up with all the parts that didnt overheat from someone elses misfortune , as dell requires the whole computer sent back in the same box it came in ..even if its just a start button that fails or like in my case was the motherboard that burned out because the power supple was underrated for the load and then there is always the name brand mark up of parts you can buy anywhere for pcs at a fraction of dealer cost ...it is a mind blowing story to follow and get involved with the pc deception ring of fraud and misleading non info that are costing the public billions except bill gates , microsoft , nvidia , advanced micro devices (AMD) and of course our pals at Intel. Bomb beam boom bam..we have Intel inside
I've not had a TV license (here in Britain) for most of my life - last time was for just a year back in '96 - this exquisitely peerless video alone justifies that choice. Vast amounts of viewing choices have alway existed, first of all on video-cassettes (before that, I was too busy chasing girls to bother with TV), then DVDs/Blu-Ray and hard drives and internet/catch up. Scheduled live TV is dead.
guys on bikes in Dakar simply maniacs.......amazing film.............
We love you Lyndon. Greetings from Lima Peru.♥️
Struggeling with words. This race, this attitude, this charakter is just wow!
30 Minutes Dakar rally a day!!! On tv!! Please bring it back. And this video is one of the best I ever watched!
If only I could do something even remotely close to something as Spectacular as ur life...... God bless u and make ur dreams n wishes come true... !!! Godspeed... n keep the rubber side down... !!!
Dakar coverage is so limited it’s nice to see an inside view, great work Lyndon
What a fantastic story! Thanks Lyndon
Lyndon! What a HERO!!!!
Proper modern day hero and inspiration to far more than I'd wager you realise!
Fantastic, thanks Lyndon RIDE ON!!!!!
It's scary until you make the decision!!! Absolutely.. very inspiring.. thank you.
Only when you stop living someone else's life and choose to live your own, can you find fulfillment and I believe this is exactly what you did here. Congratulations!
Love the colour of Rex. Mesmerizing. So inspirational.
No only self supported for the Dakar, but he rode to the race start. This is an epic documentary and all involved should be proud. It truly coveys the emotional and physical toll this race takes on Lyndon and all competitors. This is Dakar as it was originally intended, not the corporatized, whoever has the most bucks wins all.
Wow. One of best documentaries I have ever seen.. Very proud of you. For finding your way through life. Mat your life always shine...
Thank you for sharing your story Lyndon and GOOD LUCK on 2018!!
Epic. What a journey

Wow what a Documentary 😊 living the dream for us all 👌 ace
Awesome!! Well done, Lyndon and AS!!
absolutely fantastic. Your an inspiration Lyndon.
Really fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the segment where you narrate the navigation. The catastrophe was quite unfortunate.
I recently purchased an Adventure Spec skid plate for my 690r because it looked cool, was from a different country and had great features and protection. After this video I feel proud to have it on my bike and a sense of kinship with your company realizing It’s from people that love motorcycles like I do. You guys get it and in my book that makes Adventure Spec the best.
Nothing but love vor Lyndon! dude's LEGIT....
Amazing , Fantastic what an Epic Effort. Taking the Dakar to it's roots, One man One Bike. Thanks for sharing this experience
Lyndon you are the best and I appreciate what you do for us simple viewers 💪👍
I've followed Lyndon Poskitt from day 1. He is a inspiration off the scale and the epicness of the Races To Places journey is the zenith of adventure. Emotion to the core watching a genius with machines and with people letting his dreams take flight.
Amazing!!! I feel like I have been all over the world with Lyndon!
Great to see these edited into a single story. I appreciate the work it took.
This is so emotional. I'm looking at an older version of myself. Incredibly respectable!!

Dear Lyndon. I have watched all races to places an now this epic documentary on the real flat spirit.
You are a true inspiration. A legend! All the best from Sweden.
Wow. Blew me away. Great job chap. Respect.
This is by far one of my first documentaries. I started following Lyndon at the beginning of this years Dakar rally and he is really one of my biggest idols.
well done! the video quality and production value continues to climb with each new adventure. This is especially hard to watch when it is -25C and my motorcycle season is 4 months away. Anyhow, thanks for sharing this Lyndon and sponsors!

Great video, departing on a 2 week long 4000km desert ride this weekend, nothing like this, but the emotions are all the same. Thank you for the inspiration when I needed it most.
You are great! I have no other words...this is Adventure! Thank you.
Probably one of the best hours I’ve spent not riding in a few years. Such a great story mate.
Malle Moto riders truly are hardcore, Lyndon is a legend to me👍
👍Wow! Absolutely fantastic film. Great inspiration. Well done Lyndon and all his supporters.
Got quite emotional at several points 🤒
Why is this not on a main TV channel?
🏍Bikes rule!👊
It's a rare privilege to be able to be welcomed onboard and into your story for this mammoth achievement. Well flipping done!
You are a remarkable person, Lyndon! Well done.
The best footage from Dakar 2017 was watching Lyndon sit by the side of the trail and do that piece to camera about his exhaustion... So memorable.
What a bloody inspiring documentary. It actually hit me deep. So motivating!
Absolute Legend, very inspiring fella!!!!! Well Done
One of the best documentaries about Dakar very emotive, Great job Lyndon!!!!
I’m so close to starting a small adventure of my own. I have to do this or die trying. Everyone of my family says I’m crazy. Not one word of encouragement. I’m going to do an adventure and nothing is going to stop me!
My family are exactly the same I did alot of Asia and I never regret it only regret I have it's not doing again
Absolutely amazing. Congratulations Lyndon.

What a great story! What a machine of a man. He had the courage to follow his dream, & he is now living his dream. So inspiring
Instant genre classic! You’re a special man Lyndon.
Bloody brilliant mate! Well done. You are an inspiration.
Indeed! Do follow your heart .... for therein lies true happiness ! I've just been weeping the whole time so happy for Lyndon who's truly living his passion. Though I'm in a part of the world where its hard to put 1&2 together, somehow I'm motivated to keep pushing.
Watched this twice now, what a top job Lyndon and the team have done, brilliant :)

Massive effort to film whilst competing in the hardest race in the world and come second! Great job, what a great video!
what an inspiration Lyndon, biggest of respect and admiration for your hard work, dedication and sacrifice!
Thank you Lyndon for sharing your journeys! In your hardest moments, just realize we are all pulling for you.
Inspiring!! Have followed Lyndon for the past 3 years and it just gets better, fab to see some of the reasoning as to what the driving force is!. Good luck in 2018 Dakar and beyond. Ride safe Lyndon
You are the Elite Lyndon. Millions of us everyday riders cannot help but admire you, envy you and appreciate you letting us ride along with you if only thought video and diaries.
Just outstanding! A brilliant Christmas present and a must see for anyone with even the slightest interest in the Dakar.
Now let’s see what 2018 brings!
Thank you for making this and making it available!
Lyndon you are an inspiration! Your film is epic and brought back so many memories from our time on Dakar ( 2003, wow a long time ago) keeping an eye on the Malle moto riders and sharing the bad days and the good. The Malle moto is not the 'forgotten Dakar' but the REAL Dakar true to the Thierry Sabine adventure. Good luck for this next one, we will be with you all the way! Dot and Jim Jones
left the same company to do the same type of thing, started my own business and just ordered a new bike. Start of my journey!
Your Dad must be so proud. Thanks for this glimpse of dakar
I am very proud of the human being he has become.
Never seen a legend like you. You're an inspiration. I'm not a racer, I just love bikes. And people like you are the reason, who keep pushing the limits to infinity and beyond. Very motivating and inspiring how to get the courage to chase your dreams. God bless you. :)
One of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Love the Dakar and this was a hell of a story.
Well done, Lyndon! You truly know how to live life to the fullest and are an inspiration to those of us still slaving away in the aerospace industry. Cheers!
Scott Hoge
What a story right out from the belly of the hardest race on Earth, so inspiring... And then you think in ten days it's all rollin' again! Congratulations, Lyndon, thank you so much for sharing this with us and THE BEST LUCK in Dakar 2018! You really rock, pal!
Fair play for doing this!
A massive achievement that will stay with you forever!
Well done to the sponsors for having the foresight and vision to support Lyndon
Im saving this video for tonight, a cold beer as company, this will be great!
WOW!!! Felt every emotion that film came with, SAVED for when I need some inspiration. it saddens me to think that's the closest I'm going to get to the Dakar Rally!!! Thank you Lyndon very much!!!!
That was life changing! Tomorrow I'm going to go on a ride.Thanks
An inspiration… what a story… I’m 49 years old and only just getting into rally raid…and the dream of Dakar.. we’ll see what happens…the determination and the passion of your video. Just amazing. Keep it up.. well done…👊
