    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 CZcams treasure. Can't wait for the video(s) of the actual event. Thanks for taking the camera along as always Harry.

    Question: What have you done to your bikes for this Sandraiders run?
    Harry: I made the exhaust quieter.
    Charlie: I rebuilt the entire bike. 😂😂😂

  • @ODGreenZa
    @ODGreenZa Před 20 dny +6

    I had a 1988 XR600R was a gem of a bike. Thank you for a trip down memory lane. Beautiful dakar KTM as well thanks for giving us a look at it

    • @phils2180
      @phils2180 Před 20 dny +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.😡

  • @jeremymurfitt1512

    The BMW is a G 650 XChallenge, based on the old 650 Rotax single cylinder. It was BMWs try to build a lightweight and sporty bike . It weights 155kilo with a full 9.5 liter tank.

    Farming bikers like myself. Nice vid this, watched quite a few and enjoy them all!

  • @philgriffiths7222
    @philgriffiths7222 Před 15 dny +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 . . .

  • @reinmansmith
    @reinmansmith Před 20 dny +1

    @michaelxr2460 Před 20 dny

    Wasn’t your Charlie supposed to do a video on 2 cagiva Elefant he was doing up? Thought he’d use one this year.
    Great entertainment as usual, thank you

  • @troym6270
    @troym6270 Před 16 dny

    totlly awesome video!! some of the best bikes i have seen in a long time! Riding a modified 1998 Honda XR650L over here in Canada. love that bike and it goes anywhere I want it to...

  • @phils2180
    @phils2180 Před 20 dny +1

    That paddock is dirt bike heaven right there!😃👍
    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. 😀

  • @timday6087
    @timday6087 Před 20 dny +2

    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.

  • @TwoHawksHunting

    Great stuff Harry and fantastic to meet you. does your friend need the part number for the Acerbis tanks as it took them several attempts to sort. Also thanks for the plug for Reuben's charity. I have managed to raise £3,600.00 so far. keep up the great videos. Mick

    • @harrysgarage
      @harrysgarage  Před 19 dny +2

      Thanks Mick, good to meet you too! I’ve just finished the edit of part 2 and the chat we had works really well. I think that total might climb a bit more after video goes out 5pm tomorrow, let’s see..
      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. 👍

  • @christopherchapman7453

    I had a xr 650L for years. A very reliable go anywhere hog for sure! But pushing it hard in a race 🏁 would be an absolute handful with soft suspension and a chassis that flexes

  • @user-jd7md1mx2u
    @user-jd7md1mx2u Před 20 dny

    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.

      @patgreen6902 Před 16 hodinami

      how did the dominator cope? heavy in the sand ?- looking at a dominator or an xr 400 (im only 65kg) . the electric start might sway it - any thoughts ?

  • @matslundstrom7763
    @matslundstrom7763 Před 20 dny

    Really nice presentation of the nice bikes, but sadly not a single Cagiva. I know that you both, Harry and Charlie, are big fans of the Cagiva Elefant. We are a big group of fans of the Elefant that'll meet at "Meeting Cagiva France" in late june. You are welcome to join us.

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?
