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!!!
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.
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!!
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
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.
Huge respect to Dakar racers especially malle moto racer 🙏. Gutted for cs santosh and aravind kp 😍. Envying sagar more as he is witnessing all this in person 😜
I am just sitting thinking about what to write - I am 78 years old and still biking , but this lad is something else I hope all snowflakes could show this lads determination and ambition - Good Luck
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.
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.
I don’t usually do UA-cam comments but this was amazing, inspiring, moving, epic, fantastic. I don’t have a story anywhere near London’s but, having ridden dirt bikes from 11 to 21 (I’m a pussy and the 440 Maico used to scare the s**t out of me) and road bikes (sports tourers mainly, my fav was my GPz900R) from then until I was 38 I thought I’d finished my two wheel story. But, 16 years later, after watching a mate fight and, hopefully, beat cancer and watching awesome stuff from awesome people on UA-cam I bought a 1973 Bonneville that’s now a runner and will be restored to her former glory this winter (after I’ve clocked up a couple thousand miles in the British summer). Lyndon; thanks for being you and thanks for doing what you do. You’re an inspiration and you change lives.
some of us aren't that lucky to be able to travel around the world on our bikes, but you make us live those moments and make us feel alive watching these videos.Sometimes, after watching some of them, I put on my gear and go for a short trip....they are really inspiring.
Very encouraging to here you struggles with living in the normal and being lost, than to sell off most things and set out fresh and refocused on an idea, desire, adventure, than putting it to action. I really enjoy the real moments when you show you self, the emotional and sincere parts of you. Keep on, your smile is intoxicating.
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.
This documentary is epic, it shows Dakar in its true raw form, and this guy Lyndon - hats off to you man! Before watching this documentary I never knew Dakar could be this crazy, and all guys who compete in Malle Moto Class - courage beyond words.
This is honestly one I’ve the best videos I’ve ever watched on motorcycle riding. So well done, no agenda, just shows a very dedicated & driven guy with a few connections take on Dakar. He’s also a superb rider on a factory bike, good on ya Lyndon! I tell my friends about this one!
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
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.
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.
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!
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…👊
A great decision Lyndon made by going out on a motorbike, a stunning challenge he managed to take by his own in Malle Moto, a gentleman of smile and a man a woman dream about. Thanks for inspiration and being real!
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!
Well done Lyndon! Been following every single episode of Races to Places since you’ve started. I’ve done many adventure bike trips over the years. Your episodes inspired me to do a solo trip end of last year from South Africa through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia & Namibia and back home in Pretoria SA of over 8000km in 21 days. 2007 BMW 1200 GSA in proper Lyndon style. Enjoy Africa! Thank you and best wishes with your endeavours and your next Dakar!!!
WTF !!!!! TITANIUM BALLS ! I have done my share of on- and offroad riding and racing on all five continents. But THIS is probably the most honest and inspiring vid I ve seen in my life. Bow my head Lyndon. Be proud of yourself and keep digging! Enjoy THE RIDE !!
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
You are absolute legend...Thank you for showing the world...The only show i been following since 2014...your level of fitness and positive mindset brings hope to any one who wants to ride or pursue there passion .
This is so crazy. I believe nobody has an idea what such lack of sleep feels like. Man, watching this video had such an impact on me. Thanks for sharing, especially in this open way. You are a real hero.
Lyndon.... you're amazing. I've never witnessed someone driven by such a fiercely competitive nature display such comraderie with your direct competitors -- and still enjoy the hell out of yourself! I'm grateful for the fuller telling of the story, many thanks for sharing! CONGRATS, mate!!
So glad I finally got time to watch this. I was rooting for you the entire dakar. And was great to watch the Dakar heroes but this is another level of videography.
Came across the video just now. Just great. The choice of letting go of the certainties and going for what boiled down deep inside. Inspirational to say the least. Thanks for sharing.
You're living your dream Lyndon. You are an asset to the Dakar. You've endeared yourself to so many people , that all you have is friends & well wishers Ohh , and envious ppl too
This's it, the essence of motorcycle riding and adventure. Lyndon I can not wait to see the footage from 2018 Dakar. Keep my fingers crossed for a unforgetable 40th rally.
You, Sir and the Malle Moto kind are nothing short of role models and and inspiration to us in the power of dreams, determination, hardwork, single minded focus; but most of all the beauty of the human spirit.
Not politicians, not footballers, not pop stars... it's guys like this kids should look up too.
word !!!
I do! 21
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

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!

Dakar coverage is so limited it’s nice to see an inside view, great work Lyndon
