Harry sir, you are a chuffing legend. As someone who's had bikes since 13, and never been without at least half a dozen, I have to doff my cap sir. I have done some gentle off roading over the years, and a spot of pre 65 trials at one point, the thought of a 7 day off road marathon scares me as much as it does excites me, and. as one on the wrong side of 50, I am glad you are there flying the flag for the elder statesman! I found your channel because of the cars, we all love anything with an engine after all. I sell turbochargers for a living, and as such have had my share of rocketships, but bikes are my soul... and the fact you include such content is an absolute joy to watch. So thankyou, and long may it last... :-)
@@harrysgarage Harry I insulted you , sorry I thought you were my age. Ha Ha I'm 71 (still biking, flying sailing skiing and all that) ....you obviously had a harsh paper round.!!!! great video
Same here - I love travel vlogs (👇) and Harry's tour totally captivated me... sailing: ua-cam.com/channels/vLc83k5o11EIF1lEo0VmuQ.htmlvideos eating: ua-cam.com/users/MarkWiensvideos building: ua-cam.com/channels/-l69It3hxAY3tkBH_utLNQ.htmlvideos - OK, not travel...
I love that Harry use’s all his cars in the garage for what it’s designed for. The first time I seen him drive that rare classic six figure Testarossa on a 2000 mile journey… I was hooked. 🙌🏽
Spectacular video. I rode my XL600 & XR250 all over Australia and your video makes me want to do it all again. Morocco looks beautiful, harsh and spectacular. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Just want to take my hat off to you Harry. As someone who rides, I appreciate how hard that rally is. Fair play for getting through it and still keep smiling.
Meanwhile some bikers from Morocco have been going round the UK wondering how we cope with all the rain, greasy roads, manhole covers and diesel on roundabouts.
Brilliant, great video Harry, - standing on the pegs - top gear - rock roads - brilliant - gravel drives on a bike are not a worry once you have been to Morocco :)
I just know your Channel tonight..I was looking for the Last Episode...I came across your Episode's..wow..I'm here..and i was Stunning how Professional you are...such a wonderful Episode, Priceless...I enjoyed every moment of it..your a Hero..a Brave Gentleman 🙂👌🏻... I can't thank you enough for Sharing this episode with us..... Wish you the best my friend 🙂🤲🏻 From Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with Love 😁🇸🇦🌴
Really spoiling us tonight Mr Metcalfe, nearly a full hour ☺️ Five mins in and loving the unfiltered commentary already. The Evo guys must really miss having you around.
Wow, Harry!! I'm in my seventies and spent 35 years riding and racing in the deserts of Nevada, California, Utah and Arizona, USA on terrain very similar to what you traveled in Morocco and environs but NEVER traveled as many miles in a multi-day event. You, Sir, are an excellent rider! A chuffing legend, as Mark Arnold said. And as QBDLettuce said, you don't just talk the talk, you walk the walk! Great video.
Thanks for the kind comments. It was a hell of a trip and, secretly, I was quite impressed by how well I handled it. So much so, I'm booked up to do it all over again in 2023!
Really enjoyed this one and Harry, the relationship you have with Charlie makes me envious that I never had anything close to that with my own father. Charlie's a lucky guy to have you as his dad, and you're lucky to have a son like Charlie. Well done to you both.
It's so awesome to see, and often reminds me of the adventures I have with my old man, everything from skiing to hiking to canoe camping. I never take for granted how lucky we are
You probably learn to interrelate on a farm in a way that no city can teach you. Cities are a scourge in so many ways, the ruination of the bedrock of civilisation, the family.
Unlike many others around here, I'm not very interested in Mr.Metcalfe's videos on the latest irrelevant supercars, but I love his repair/restoration and motorcycle videos as well as the road trips. I'm a year younger than Harry, but unfortunately serious health issues mean I will likely never do anything like this (in fact I was in my 3rd week of hospitalization when this video went up), but Harry does a good job of rendering the look and feel. I have to say that I'm glad he chose the XL, I just love the sound and feel of thumpers. There's just something special about big single cylinder engines.
Good grief is right, HARRY. You are a supreme badass. Talk about plugging along. Too many rocks for my taste. You have my complete admiration. And gratitude for a fabulous ride that I didn’t have to do. I’m 72 years old , and have been riding for 55+ years and totally enjoyed this. Bravo
Me too not a bike guy but I'll watch anything with Harry in it. Loved the technical bits though as it's always very detailed when Harry's involved. I'll deffo watch more bike ones. Harry has the amazing knack of making you feel you are there with him and the team.... Just brilliant this.
How can someone make a 54 minute video of themselves riding a bike, and not have a single minute of it not be interesting? Phenomenal video Harry, thank you for taking us along through Morocco!
You've had some truly remarkable pieces of automotive jewelry on your channel and I've seen you go on trips with Charlie before, but this is the first time I've felt envious - having the opportunity to go on (and safely complete) such a remarkable adventure with your son... that is truly precious.
I was lucky enough to be bought up around bikes. Dad was Chairman of the AMCA for a while (during the 80s), we raced UK/European Sidecar Motocross. Initially with a 920 Norton Wasp and then on to Honda CR500's when we gained sponsorship (funny story as the funding was for Jo Durie for Wimbledon, but the CEO of the company was much more interested in bikes rather than balls going back and fourth, so poor old Jo lost out there). Every Sunday was an adventure! I'm commenting as during my childhood the documentary On Any Sunday was on our TV every other day (poor old VHS got worn out). The Sandraiders event reminds me of Malcolm Smith out in the desert, and then I start humming the theme tune to On Any Sunday... So after watching this video, for a little nostalgia, I'm going to go watch it for the 900th time, sit back, and wish you the best of luck Harry! Enjoy yourself and don't forget to sing along to On Any Sunday while out in those dunes! Have fun :)
I’ve never watched anything on bikes, they just don’t interest me like cars do for some reason. And yet, I absolutely loved this video. Your adventure videos are in my opinion the best videos on UA-cam, Thankyou Harry. Now, do one in the Elan please!
This gave me some serious flashbacks to riding my old heavy XR650L in the sand in Utah years ago. I could feel those wiggles in the bars watching Harry in the dunes. What an amazing trip and achievement for finishing!
Hats off Harry, this is fascinating. Clever man, brilliant story teller, respectuful gentleman... Car stuff, bike stuff, farm stuff, you make every topic interesting. I wish you were my dad ! Cheers from Belgium
Oh he's F... Oh, Charlie Metcalf! - this was the highlight for me. Words of a proud dad. Couldn't know the feeling better. What an amazing adventure - huge thanks for sharing with us, feels like 5% of being there. Greetings from Latvia.
I loved this. Two things I have learned. Harry swears. Harry clucks like most dads when he thinks his son is in err (when he gets stuck near the top of a dune) I like lots of your videos especially the bike videos and the road trip with old cars videos like the Testarossa to Morocco and the Rolls to the Arctic.
This incredible. Harry doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. Loved seeing this. Wouldn't have minded extended cuts of the journey to be honest. 🙂👌
".... remember coming through here in the Testarossa ...." while sitting on the XL just starting a 1000 m (shy 4 m ... ;-) race following desert tracks: quality Harry-content. Some collect bikes'n cars, Harry collects rides. Thanks for sharing! Truely inspiring.
This ride brings back a lot of old memories. In my days as a student back in 1987(!) we did a very similar route in a LR. Not through the sandy parts though. Our furthest southern point was probably Ourzazate. My first experience on the African continent. Marocco is a beautiful country if you appreciate arid landscapes+ nature + geology. Crossing the Atlas mountains was quite special going from 30C desert to nearly freezing on top of the snow covered pass.
Fair bloody play to you Harry. 63 years of age and still keeping up with the younger lads.. Fair play to you 👍👍👍🙂 My late uncle Alan Shepherd tt winner and North West 200 winner would of been very proud of you Harry 👏 👍👍👍
Excellent, brought back many memories, having competed in the off road world championship for many years including 12 dakars, mainly in cars as a navigator, 3 top ten finishes on the Dakar, your quote ' friends for life ' is so true. Love the enthusiasm. What's next?
Top video Harry, So inspired I have just picked up an XRV 650 RD03 and booked the Sand Raiders for 2023. What could possibly go wrong? keep up the great work. Mick
I don't know how many times I have watched this film now, but I love it every time. Someday I will do the Sandraiders. It just looks amazing! Thanks Harry!
To someone like me who lives a very circumscribed life, the fact that a guy like Harry exists is really delightful. I can't *imagine* doing stuff like he gets up to. I say this out of admiration, not envy. Wonderful.
Harry - another “not a bike guy” who loved this. I watch the channel for the excellent car coverage - but if anything is going to get people into bikes then this is it - superb video, keep it up!
I've been driving for 14 years but this is my first season riding a motorcycle. I can't imagine how difficult and demanding this trip must have been. Hats off to you Harry for staying active and also for spending time with your son this way!
I'm a cyclist... Sand is my worst nightmare and I'm still not sure if more speed makes it better or worse! The thought of floating a motorbike across kms of it is incredible to me. In the 4x4 we just used to get the tyres down to 8psi and keep the rescue ramps on hand!
Best for sand is steering damper. It makes huge difference. First it stabilizes your steering and after a while, when you get used to it, and when you start to loosen your arms, it starts to be even easier to go through sands. Off course sudden deep sand and therefore lack of power can still make you fly but you won't go fast in that scenario anyways, so it's fine.
Brilliant, these long form specials are always good and this was a pearler. Most of us will never do half the amazing trips you get to do so thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your experience of this event, really enjoyed watching your video. As a Moroccan and a bike rider living abroad I’m looking forward to participating in this event when time allows. I have done all Morocco by 4x4 but never with a bike 🏍. I highly recommend the mountain roads and villages in the high atlas region (you don’t have to go that far off road, staying on tarmac is already a good experience). Cheers
Whilst not a rider myself your film captures the trill of the trip and just how hard it was. I loved the exasperation in the sand and the look of the luxury overnight stops. Thank you for filming it and sharing it with us.
Great stuff, about time we got a feature length video,:) it did not disappoint, thank you for taking the time to film it. Brilliant, hope it gets the views it deserves.
What an adventure! I've been saving this one for the right time and I'm so glad I did. This is classic footage and a wonderful video. I'm sure you would probably rather just enjoy the event so thank you Harry for putting the effort into the filming so we can call come along with you. Fantastic!
Harry can do it all; Taking us in special cars but not afraid to make himself dusty on a motorbike to. Not that many car/bike journalists around. Great work!
Harry sir, you are a chuffing legend. As someone who's had bikes since 13, and never been without at least half a dozen, I have to doff my cap sir.

Omg ! Exactly what I thought. I saw the thumbnail and said to myself make a coffee before watching.
On the big screen, none of your iPad nonsense 👍
Ah, I think that's more than we need to know ....
Terrific, Harry. Informative, engaging and waving the ‘can do’ flag for us in our early 60’s! 👍

What a lovely report of this raid and the attention to these wonderfull bikes of the golden era of Adventure riding and Dakar, 20 min longer please👍.

How can someone make a 54 minute video of themselves riding a bike, and not have a single minute of it not be interesting? Phenomenal video Harry, thank you for taking us along through Morocco!
Morroco on a bike has always been a dream, and for that price, I can do it every year!
Harry, this was my favorite of your videos to date. Yes, we all love the Pagani factory...but this was a special one for me. Thank you
This MotoGP commentator enjoyed EVERY MINUTE of your Dakar Sandraisers special! Mustbe something special to do this with your son.
I did a gap year in Morocco and even marshalled rallies there. Quite the nostalgia kick.
The best thing is to see Harry’s enthusiasm and passion!

Blooming' marvellous video, should be on bbc on a Sunday evening! As an ex army dispatch bike rider, I'd love a go at this - but not on an Armstrong!
What an adventure and properly entertaining to watch! Saves me €3000 and a sore bottom. Thanks Harry!
What a brilliant Sunday night vid! Real adventure riding on proper classics... The man is legend! Please keep up the bike stuff Harry.

Great video once again, the dirt tracks are identical to the Acropolis rally stages, real “killers”. Greetings from Greece.
Respect, I’ve done some of that route on a 450 KTM, can’t imagine how much hard work it would have been on those 80s bikes.
I've been driving for 14 years but this is my first season riding a motorcycle. I can't imagine how difficult and demanding this trip must have been. Hats off to you Harry for staying active and also for spending time with your son this way!
25:00 What most viewers wont grasp, even the motorcyclists, is how hard it is to ride in sand ! Well done Harry, good skills.
I'm a cyclist... Sand is my worst nightmare and I'm still not sure if more speed makes it better or worse! The thought of floating a motorbike across kms of it is incredible to me. In the 4x4 we just used to get the tyres down to 8psi and keep the rescue ramps on hand!
We know

Fantastic footage, Harry. Just like being there, without the sore muscles. Tents in the desert, camels, and breathtaking vistas; Morocco is amazing.
I’m no bike guy but really appreciate the challenge and adventure. Looked amazing
Really nice father-son adventure. Please keep to moto content coming! Fun watching someone live their best life.

Be very careful. I was exactly the same. I now have a bike license, own an old Africa Twin and am learning to ride it off-road.
Go for it. You will not regret it
This sort of video is the best of UA-cam and makes it unique. Well done Harry.
I generally don’t watch Harry’s bike videos, but, the Sandraiders ‘22 episode got me hooked after 5 mins. Excellent content - thanks Harry!
