SHOCK DAKAR NEWS 2025 PREVIEW Kove Mason Klein Hoto Moto

[@riolonghorn]

Woohoo! The Dakar recaps are back! Well, my primary source for Dakar information.

[@barebonesmc]

Welcome back 😊😊 here’s to Dakar 2025 😊

[@DatBikerDude]

Great job mate! The Red Camel team behind HOTO has a job at their hands. One thing I've noticed is testing at Taklamakan is nowhere as tough as Testing in Dakar, which is brutal x 10 . The toughest part of Taklamakan is N39, which is a tourist spot compared to the Empty Quarter in Saudi Arabia. Let's see

[@barebonesmc]

Thanks for the info mate. And cheers 😊 here’s to Dakar 😊

[@riolonghorn]

I'm happy to pay for a subscription. I'd send $100 USD. You're the best place for following Dakar.

[@barebonesmc]

Wow, that is so generous. Keep your eyes on the community page and I will announce how I decide to go. If there are potentially enough donations I may just be able to run it on here but demonetise it

[@everydaybiker]

Sweet, can you pay 100 usd for me too please

[@barebonesmc]

@@everydaybiker 😂 cheeky 😂😂

[@everydaybiker]

@barebonesmc well, you definitely deserve it, if I had the means..... keep it up. Really, .massive thanks for your coverage

[@barebonesmc]

@@everydaybikerbless you mate

[@denververmeulen5940]

Dude, you rock, well done on your work ...and that's my opinion from seeing only this video ...all the best with your channel and projects ...wishing you phenomenal support and satisfaction !!!

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate if you look on the community tab there is a link to last years footage that got taken down so you get an idea of what I do during the rally 😊 welcome aboard

[@mhoppy6639]

What’s sad is that even as a new subscriber, I _still_ have to go directly to your channel to check for new vids. It’s very unfortunate for a channel which is very well produced indeed. The last time I followed (Paris)Dakar was back in the 80s when it was on terrestrial telly and Ari Vatanen (sp?) and co were slaying it in group B cars so this will be GREAT! Thank you for reigniting my interest.

[@barebonesmc]

We had a great run last year until they intervened. News just up on community page too. Looks like I will have to do the footage on subscription now this year but I will still post the commentary on here for the people who can’t subscribe. They’ve made it impossible for even the riders. Never have I come across an organisation like it. They are a nightmare

[@barebonesmc]

Thanks mate. Just seen the donation 😊💪

[@right_on_riggins]

Braaaaapin’ from Utah, send it Mason 🏜️🏁✌🏼

[@barebonesmc]

I think we are all hoping :-) im interested to see what this new Hoto bike is like too!!!

[@Bok2022st]

This is the best source of shared bike knowledge and information on KZbin 2nd to none. There is not a channel that even comes close, in any of these areas so if you decide to go ahead with this I would gladly help if needed.💯👍

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate. Donations done via the kofi link will all be counted if I go the subscription route😊 here’s to the 2025 Dakar 😊

[@barebonesmc]

Did you find the link?😊 I got message. It’s in video description 😊

[@Bok2022st]

@@barebonesmc hahaha live and learn my friend, yes found it wi'll get sorted as soon as I can my friend.💯👍🙂

@@Bok2022st regardless mate I will sneak you in somewhere 😂 hope life is ok

[@Bok2022st]

Woooohooo! Can’t wait! 🏍️💨💨💨🇺🇸💪🏽

[@barebonesmc]

😊😊

[@Dawe957]

Guys how do I get Guest access for the start? I am in KSA any help appreciated.

[@barebonesmc]

All the riders I know are tied up now in preparation. And I know Amauri sport are funny about the starts on every stage but especially the start line. The best way will just be to keep asking locals and any drivers/riders you can find. Possibly read out to Dakar mobilem and rally pov channels. They may be able to help. Sorry that isn’t more useful. Good luck. And any pics or video would be great if you get any ( don’t try filming the start without a licence)😊 good luck

[@Dawe957]

@barebonesmc Thank you for the advice" will do my best, happy to share any gopro footage I can get with you. What's your Instagram?

[@Antechynus]

thanks once again for your hard work brother... sent pint money to you..

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate. Much appreciated 😊👍 thought id already answered this but seems not😊

[@Zt3v3]

I'm not subscribed but I get you in my suggested videos occasionally. Just thought you'd want to know. I always "like" them.

[@barebonesmc]

Appreciated mate. It all helps. And glad you enjoyed them😊👌

[@BlackSkyentertainment]

Mason rocks! We have ridden with him and think this year he will show everyone.

[@barebonesmc]

😊😊💪👌 Mason and Harith Noah are my wild cards this year but Ross has to be favourite 😊 Mason is a gem though. Did you see the interview I did with him?

[@bikenavbm1229]

good luck to James hard rider, and good humble story teller too. will be watching and rooting, thank you Bones for bringing this to us but dont let this kinda stuff get in the way of your life, I accept World ways may force you to charge but wont be possible for me to pay. thanks and good luck regardless.

[@barebonesmc]

I do wish him much luck. Let’s hope some of the kove riders can stay with Mason so they can work as a team😊

[@ITS.ME.OG.14R]

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR ITS ON BROOOOO TY

[@barebonesmc]

I got ya 😊👍💪👌 what’s been happening with the #GOATARMY ? Last time I dropped in things seemed a little different 😊

[@Pompomgrenade]

You are a beast 💪 ridefree

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate. Donations done via the kofi link will all be counted if I go the subscription route😊 Roll on the 3rd😊

[@rallywithmason]

Epic video

[@barebonesmc]

Hi Mason 😊 Ride fast be strong and always ride with freedom in your heart. We are all behind you. I look forward to chatting afterwards if we get chance again. 😊 all our thoughts are with you

[@bikenavbm1229]

added.......... good luck to the two 2 wheelers in the 4 wheeler, should make for an interesting dynamic, was lucky to speak to Sam at Goodwood seemed just like another biker to me just perhaps with a fresher GasGas shirt (then), was also lucky for Audi to let me sit in that recently retired Electric 4x4 desert missile, highlights of the day.

[@barebonesmc]

Someone who is quick might shout about it. But those who are REALLY QUICK tend not to 😊 real greatness speaks for itself 😊👌

[@MERMBRAMA]

Mason Klein is a Kove factory rider now

[@barebonesmc]

Independent sponsors but full factory backing yes I believe 😊 I THINK similar to last year. Kove had agreed to a Rally 2 entry but as last year. That was switched to Rally Gp at last minute. so I’m guessing the sponsorship was raised 😊

[@davecurci3880]

Love to watch and listen to you content. Happy to help. Subscription good by me especially helping you in the process. Thanks for all you do for the sport. Looking forward to your coverage!

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate. Much appreciated. Any donations made via the Kofi link will count if I decide to go subscription route. Have a great day

[@barebonesmc]

Awesome, thank you,

[@marksparks59]

I was part of the UAE Desert Challenge sweep team 2001-2021, it was always a grin watching the hapless car drivers going all over the place if they had to set off without bike tracks to follow 🤣.

[@barebonesmc]

🤣🤣🤣 going the wrong way fast is worse than standing still 🤣🤣

[@philcutterham1464]

Yes I too will back you, but how do I do that, also can I purchase a bare bones Dakar T shirt, it may be an idear to generate some funds, I have been wrestling with buying a kove or a tenera, I will test ride both. I would donate.❤

[@barebonesmc]

Great idea. I’ve just put post on the community page 😊 there is a link below in the description for donations via kofi. And they will all be counted if I go for subscription thanks again for the idea

[@RealHooksy]

Im pleased to see Toby Price in a car actually. He’s got nothing left to prove on a bike and every Dakar is a risk. Add the KTM issues and his timing is right imo. I hope Toby and Sam go well👍🍻🦘

[@barebonesmc]

I can see your point. Should be safer this year with cars running different routes 😊

[@longkeithdiablo8812]

The best bike coverage by far. Unfortunately i cant subscribe 😔 Respect whatever you have to do though 👍

[@barebonesmc]

Either way I will still be here 😊 I am hoping I can do it all here still but juggling many balls at the moment 😊😊

[@longkeithdiablo8812]

@barebonesmc good luck juggling but don't overdo it mate 👍

[@barebonesmc]

@@longkeithdiablo8812 cheers mate. Dakar are making it impossible to do here so it’ll be sub off platform I’m sorry to say. I will post commentary here but they are charging 7000 euros and that only gives you the right to post 30second clips Bivuoac only is 4K 😱 And that’s competitors rates

[@Eden-NoEye]

Having the videos for the paid subscribers and still images with your coverage for everyone else is fair, I wouldn't pay but I'd like you to earn from my views.

[@barebonesmc]

I’ll keep everyone updated on the community tab 😊 here’s to Dakar 2025

[@ERUtheWINDRIDER]

Any chance that ex Kove CEO (Zang) have anything to do with Hoto?

[@barebonesmc]

😂😂 I wondered but seems not. Red camel racing are involved but project began before he left. Still digging 😊 there are SOME ex kove engineers involved apparently but engine more like ktm by the looks of it. $20 million in working capital behind the Hoto company name so not a small project

[@tubeme4vr]

I'd pay 50 euro for the proper full footage

[@barebonesmc]

Very generous of you mate thanks. Any donation made via the kofi link will count if I do go the subscription route but if I get enough donations it may mean I can just run with it again.

[@synthnseq]

Hoto - ex Kove CEO's new project?

[@barebonesmc]

no, although i did wonder. and apparently some Kove engineers involved

[@laneturner3350]

I would be interested in a short subscription

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers mate. Donations done via the kofi link will all be counted if I go the subscription route😊 details in description. Roll on the 3rd😊

[@latenightleiferiksson]

I love your channel and I am loyal to you, but I am university student and here I Hungary the fees are high while my wage is very low, so need spent all my money on basics and should avoid abbonements, but I could donate some € on paypal via "family and friends" for all your effords of producing these very informative videos. P.S I like your way how you are commentig, keep going like that!❤

[@barebonesmc]

You can use PayPal on the Kofi link in description but only what you can afford mate. And the conversation is what makes it all worthwhile for me. I have so many invites now it gets hard to choose 😊 any donations will automatically count to subscription if I go that route too. Ride safe my friend

[@rotor676]

Chg 10$ for entire race

[@barebonesmc]

:-) it will be off platform now, reasons shortly, but i will hopefully do it at that, and any donations via the Kofi link in description will count :-)

Huh? No one’s running away from it but life goes on 😊

I will not pay for you to get a worse health. I also do not agree to any subscriptions because they drain me. Enjoy the ride,

Fair enough mate. I don’t intend making my health worse though to be clear

​@@barebonesmcbest answer yet😅❤

[@barebonesmc]

@@andrewkirtley6565 the agony I ended up in afterwards was unbelievable. And I know now what I need to do to halt its progress 😊 lessons learned 😊

[@mohba01]

Jatin jain isn't a great talent sadly.

[@barebonesmc]

I know very little about him. Tell us more 😊🙏

[@mohba01]

@barebonesmc have ridden with him in some local races from 2013 to 2019. He's hardly competitive here but usually has the best equipment as india a bit backward when it comes to rally raid. I would have loved to see Harith in a factory GP, he's a great kid.

[@NotnaRed]

no, would not pay

[@barebonesmc]

Fair enough 😊
