Your videos along with the skills of storytelling are absolutely top notch. I wish you to grow so much that you’ll be able to do interviews with people like them, to have open doors to manufacturers,etc. I can only imagine the quality of the content you’re going to do once you get there. Because you are going to get there. Stay patient and keep doing what you do. It will pay off!

Very nice man, Hubert. I met him in the desert, sunbathing, few years ago at Africa Race. His car was broken and it wasn't possible to fix it. But he was still smiling. And he was very surprised to see me on a deep soft sand pist, with a stock 950 adventure full of luggage. Later he was looking for me in the bivouac, to check if I was fine.

Auriol and Rahier actually saved BMW Motorrad from going out of business because the GS 80 and its successors became such good sellers after the Dakar wins!

Great video and Hommage to a fantastic rider. These guys were flying across the desert with 60 liters of fuel on their motorcycle. For those who never went to Mauritania, the railway line that the racers were following, is the way of one the longest train. The train is so heavy that you have to be very careful when going across. The rail are so flattened by the weight of the train, that the rail sides become like blades. Ride safe.

That's interesting, I knew the trains over there were super long, but didn't know these other details!

What a great story about a great man. Thank you for telling his story. My friends and I ride a lot of desert in the USA, Southern Utah. As a young man I was inspired by the Dakar riders. So much so I own two Cagiva Elefants. Learning more of the history and the man who rode them is amazing story.

After this story, I'm gonna build some bush guards for my feet. As a kid I heard the story of a guy wearing shoes on the bike and hit a stump in the grass and broke his foot, so I always wear moto boots, I'm gonna take it a step further and build brush guards for the feet, why not? I'm surprised it's not a thing.

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the scenario of getting between two trees and breaking both ankles. Was it branches? Did the trunks narrow just at ankle height? I need to know so I can avoid this. Haha

Look, it was in 87... I was quite a few years away even from me being born, so finding exact details is a bit difficult :) just... don't go near trees I guess? :))
