    I'm not a bike guy...but Sandraiders!!!! Yess!!! High point of the HG year! This goes totally over my head but I just love watching you guys nerd out over these bikes. This is UA-cam treasure. Can't wait for the video(s) of the actual event. Thanks for taking the camera along as always Harry.

      @phils2180 Місяць тому +2

      I had a 2001 650R I used for green laning. A bit OTT and certainly not the ideal bike for that but I loved it but obviously not as much as the thieving scumbag who stole it.😡

  • @philgriffiths7222
    @philgriffiths7222 Місяць тому +1

    I had a pretty much identical bike to the Marlboro HPN in the video.
    Mine was an original R80G/S, uprated chassis by HPN, 1040 twin plug engine, extended carden shaft, same tank as on the Vid, plus an under seat tank, WP suspension with twin shocks at the rear. Took me solo from Cape Town to Zanzibar via a number of countries including Angola.
    Hell of a trip . . Had two big smashes on the way but survived to tell the tale . . .

    The BMW at 12:00 is a G650 Xmoto from 2007-9. There were three variants, which are quite sought after now although they didn’t sell well back when they were new. I run the XCountry variant every day for commuting and it’s a great bike.

    Do Sand Raiders '23, hit problems, make some mods and come back for '24.👍👍👍
    Fair play to Charlie sticking with the kick starter, I hope he doesn't end up with an over developed right leg at the finish!
    Looking forward to the "race" coverage. 😀

      Jon is organising for his bike to go up to David Lambeth to be sorted and he has all the info on the right tank. If anything changes I’ll let you know. 👍

    Love the Sandraiders videos. In 2019 I bought in Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam a 1983 Honda XL600R (well stole it really) for USD $1000 and used it for two years through CoVid whilst based out there. It's currently in storage with a friend, with a plan to find a way to bring it back to the UK. Would love to do Sandraiders. Looking forward to your video on the event. Stay safe.

Speaking of videos, I seem to recall that we were teased with the suggestion of a few videos on the the resto of a cagiva about this time last year - is that still on?
