Thanks for watching.
I hoped to make the vid more about the event and the epic scenery in Morocco, rather than just about the bikes.
I kinda wish I hadn't done such a long intro clip discussing what kit to take out but I won't make the same mistake next time..
Best value motoring event I know, though. Bikes cost us between £1500-£3000 and then another £3k for seven days in Morocco, including all event support and hotels/food seems crazy value to me.
Excellent video, I really loved this one and the 911 in Spain trip.I hoped to make the vid more about the event and the epic scenery in Morocco, rather than just about the bikes.

Both have added things to tick off the automotive bucket list one day.
Really enjoyed that video, well done, bloody hard work. I bought Chris Scott's Motorcycling Adventure Handbook years ago but never made it out to the desert, looks like this is one of the best ways to do it, that level of support takes a burden off your mind so you can get into the riding, what a spectacular environment to ride through. Now that Tussock Buster is no more this trip is going on my "to do" list.
Really enjoyed the bike video as it is just my cup of tea - apart from all the riding in sand! That fesh-fesh up the mountain trail on the last day looked a bit of a nightmare.
I'm doing an event called Illyria Raid on a Honda CRF300 in September from Greece to Croatia and I hope it is as much fun as this looked. I'm middle aged, carrying a fair bit of timber so going with the smallest bike that will do the mileage okay.
Funnily enough when I parked my scooter outside work this morning there was a Honda 600XL exactly the same as Harry's in the bike bay. It looked very cool with that red engine. I wonder if the owner watched last night and decided to give it a run out?!

I love Harry's garage and farm videos but have watched very little of the bike content until last last night when I watched the entire Sandraiders saga. It was fabulous and very engaging. What an adventure! The people involved seemed very welcoming, like the fellow who was telling you about the meals on offer in the tent, he seemed very proud. It must have been a real thrill to be able to witness some of that incredible scenery. Not something I could even think of doing but it was wonderful to have such a well-made first-hand account of what was involved. I laughed when Harry muttered "I don't want to go over there" as he navigated along a powdery trail carved out of a stone ledge with a sheer drop just a few feet away. Makes you wonder how the builders could have thought "well, this is good enough" and left it that way. Just a tremendous accomplishment overall. Well done, sir!
Just finished watching the Morocco video. Looked amazing and thanks for sharing Harry, and impressive fitness. I've been riding 30 years but road only and don't even like a bit of gravel let alone the concept of riding on sand.
The value does seem extraordinary too.
Love your road trips (desert Testarossa, Lotus to the Alps, Rolls to the Arctic) but I think this is my favourite one yet, and that's from a Bond fan.

I wasn’t going to watch this as its “off road bikes”, which don’t interest me at all. I saw the comments on here and thought I would. I watched it last night, and it’s difficult to add anything to what has been said above. I thought “54 minutes of this? hmmm… ok….”
(.....Watches TV for 54 minutes entranced.....)
Afterwards I thought “It’s over? Already? Did that really last almost an hour? Time just flew by”
With videos as good as this - you can see the end of normal telly.

Yes it's hard to see the downside really? Assuming Mr Google makes his money, Harry makes his money and we get quality content. Win, win, win.
He was on Twitter this morning (or maybe yesterday, I forget) saying that the bike videos have 50% less views than the car videos. 
Oh, great! I was gonna wait until the next video since I think that's when Harry probably goes to check the thread, but I guess it can't hurt to mention it already.
Yeah, would love to see Harry's Garage Mclaren F1 video! In case you don't know, Flemke is certified*TM Mclaren F1 owner and has already lent you the car before for one of your EVO features (which included a timed lap around Bedford Autodrome). So this is a real offer!
