  • In one of his many road trips to Morocco, Emile Leray (nicknamed the “Doctor of African Mechanics” by his friends) hit a roadblock ... literally. Well, actually it was a rock in the middle of the desert, but you get the idea. With his car’s front axel destroyed and a limited food supply, Leray faced an uncertain future. So what did he do? Engineered the ultimate DIY escape.

      The story is fake. Not a single video showing how he was able to ride and control the bike. Myth Busters tried and failed to fully replicate this thing in a way where it was controllable faster than an average man's walking speed, and even then the rider would have to get off and push the heavy machine back on course.

      VLPR But you can walk 20 miles in a day or maybe two. And carrying supplies for that time period too. I have never hiked in the desert and I bet it's really hard, but staying there for several days working on the bike must have been equally challenging.

    • @DruidEnjoyer
      @DruidEnjoyer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +77

      It's a gamble either way. Maybe you overestimate your own walking speed and run out of water halfway through.
      With this bike conversion thing you will at least have access to all of the water for maximum amount of time.
      And if it looks like you can't do the bike conversion when you have only couple days worth of water left, you can then start walking with the remaining water. There's really no reason to abandon the water.

      Riding a motorcycle, especially one that heavy and unbalanced requires a ton of energy to balance and steer, which is further compounded by the extremely slow speed it was capable of.

      You'd be surprised how easily you can put together a 2CV, you can assemble the 2CV within 1/2 hour with a couple guys. It was designed to be taken apart and to be easy to work on for farmers. Nothing needs to be bolted on, everything is basically pinned down together

      Most definitely fake. Looking it this as a tradesman makes me laugh. You would need a lot of different tools in order to get this done even cutting the axel and the frame haha

    So, apparently over the years this guy has changed his story quite a bit. In the last interview I saw with him, he said the city was only 10 miles away. So, he's changing his story as the years go by.

    • @NorthernChev
      @NorthernChev 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      What happened is, he got so much flack from people who said, it would have only taken 5 hours to walk back to the city, but instead he took 12 days to build a motorcycle... I think this is why he's making the distance a bit more, but even then, it's only 20 miles. That's only one day's walk in that environment.

    • @D_Syno

      unless you're an obese whale you should be able to walk 20 miles to save your life. Marathons are 26.2 miles and people walk them in about 8 hours.

    • @yumiko523
      @yumiko523 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Direction and distance of nearest civilization in unclear at that situation to him, so walking is a 50/50 chance of;
      A: Near civilization is found and you don't die from the extreme temperatures and exhaustion.
      B: Nearest civilization is hundreds of miles away and you die.
      It was a 50/50 chance, but given that he had enough supplies to survive an extended amount of time in the desert, he used that chance to significantly increase his chances of survival with long term planning and built a functioning mobile vehicle that gives him the opportunity to travel significantly greater distances without risk of death of exhaustion.

      Let's see you lift a fucking motor in the blistering desert heat. You're such a fucking idiot.
      Any able bodied person can walk in the heat for at least 3 miles, then sleep and rest. Back in half the time. Or he could have walked, I dont know, perhaps at night when it isn't so damn hot.
      You're a gigantic imbecile.
