This Christian film from 1972, presented by the Moody Institute of Science, tells the story of Dick Ewing, who became one of the first men to cross the vast expanse of the Sahara desert on a motorcycle and survive. The film is hosted by Dr. Irwin A.Moon and produced by the Moody Bible Institute. Dick Ewing is an extreme sports enthusiast, who gathered an expedition crew to travel on motorcycles across the Sahara Desert. Multiple troubles and accidents with miraculous solutions lead to Ewing’s conversion from antagonistic towards religion to a Christian.

The camera crew seemed to face no difficulties...
I'm thinking this entire adventure was fictional.
Seems fictional 😂
Your mom is fictional.
I pray you’re wrong.
Like religion?
Even if your message is moral and sincere, the trojan horse trick of smuggling information inside a false pretense is not.
I thought this was going to be some adventure vid?; This video is fictional.
God’s response: “Hey, idiot. Don’t put your life at risk doing unnecessary and dangerous stunts.”
Grab the popcorn the new video is starting 😮
More ridin! Less prayin!
They should have mapped out the route better including alternative routes before they left.
They also "spent several weeks waiting for the motorcycles to arrive" 🤦
@@infinidominionlittle Harley Davidsons.
Either 125 or 250 Sprints...
Nothing beats a camel.
A Marlboro does.
@@danorthsidemang3834 you are correct sir! I’ve been off 12 years
@@ChitownRon I was born correct.
Angry arab?
the bikes look small for that trip
I hope y’all will reply to this did Steppenwolf’s song Born to be Wild play in y’all’s heads when y’all saw this film?????
No.
Look how tightly they are clutching their hands so odd 🤔
Howany times does this guy pray 🙏 😂😂😂
Reminds me of the Jon Lovitz 'Liar' character :) sure they took some video and pictures, but I doubt they did this entire trip.
🙏🏍️👍👍
If your plan is to pray when you're in trouble, your planning sucks.
What kind of bikes are these?
Aermacchi-Harley Davidson Rapido 175. Aermacchi was an Italian manufacturer of which HD bought a 50% share. Their bikes were badged Harley-Davidsons and you could buy one at your local HD dealer until well into the 1980s, but despite the badges, they were 100% Italian. It's a similar idea as the upcoming Chinese Harley 350 and 500 models.
@@CaptHollister seems like a poor choice with HuskysDT1 yamahas etc. available
I had a ss 350 sprint. AMF Italian enduro
Aermacchi H-D 125 Rapido, 1969 or 70 jet fire orange color, had new as a kid….by the way, next bike up the chain was a 350 Sprint and never a 175 during mid 60 to mid 70’s
praise the lord.....
Poor choice using two cycle engines
Harleys😂 I would want a honda XR
Oh those are Harley 2 cycle bikes?, right! @@bird2114
If I remember correctly that Harley Davidson did not produce 2 strokes and the had another bike company produce them for Harley.
I’m old so I could me misremembering!! Lol!
AMF made them,@@dennishough3709
Aeromacchi Sprint 125 or 250
Watching this, I wondered if the lameness was ever going to end…then I prayed. And when I looked up, it was over! 🐴💩
Os it just me or did they really plan so poorly with thiee bike choices and overplanning is child level 😂
Who needs planning when you got prayers
How much is the Smithsonian bidding for this one? 🤔😂
they might have pure heart but oh so ignorant
That's ok, God saved them. lol
Spoiler alert it’s actually a religious recruitment ad, the OG Rick roll
Not once, not twice, but three times God miraculously came to the rescue ??? Hmmm i smell a rat here.
This is good because they brought God into it. :)
Seems "Moody Institute of Science" actually had a pro-creationism, anti-science agenda.
This was good until they bring God into it.
Religious crap? Lame.
Jesus is the only way, truth and the life. ❤
True Story
@@quentinrawlins4876Were you there?
Amen
...or not.
less Christ talk and more Harley talk please
