Richy Boots

As a motorcyclist, I often find myself taking shelter, as it were, in my helmet. Stopping and talking to those kids, I'm not sure I would do that. I am incredibly thankful that you chose to. You're showing us the human condition and that is the only way we'll ever make our huge world seem smaller. Also, I believe it was either Austin Vince or Spencer Conway (or I could be way off) that said (severe paraphrase) "Film through the tough times, it makes for great footage". You've certainly done that in spades as well. You have created appointment viewing with this series and I cannot wait for the next episiode!

I love that fact you stop to take it in, we didn’t go down as far as you, well done for bringing it to us.

Hi Richy, This trip just gets better and better - I'm in pieces watching it, absolutely awesome. MrsD is expecting me to go AWOL anytime soon!!! 😀 SteveD

Oh my….What an awesome tour this has been, I’ve been completely immersed in this adventure, I’ve had goosebumps on nearly everyone of these vids!! 23 days and counting before we also head off down to Merzouga, but ya know that already!!! Awesome buddy, just awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️

He's left us on a cliffhanger! I can see the craigslist ad now "Free Africa Twin (pick up only, close to sahara)" ;) Looks beautiful again, absolutely stunning scenery.

Those kids will remember the funny talking English man they met for such a brief time for the rest of their lives most likely and you have a lasting memory of your trip and even when that memory fades for whatever reason it will last forever not only in the memories of your subscribers but but the digital world aswell

OOOhhhh proper cliffhanger. Kudos to your determination and skill on that track.

Hi Richy, another great video, you have certainly taken a very tough and strenuous bit of road/track. Good to watch and makes me glad I am a bit to old to go riding offroad. Bit of advice though concerning holding your hand up for a High 5, in some countries showing the palm of your hand like that is a gesture to keep back or get away from me. It is almost as bad as a 2 word phrase used in the UK with the second word being OFF. In some countries, you can cause serious offence by giving the thumbs up gesture. Got to be careful with different cultures. Looking forward to seeing how you get your bike unstuck on that seriously rocky section.

Hi Richy make the bike lighter when you get stuck I’m sure the effort will be 😅worth it when you get to the top, a great tense end to todays video , can’t wait for the next episode Regards Peter

Same in Egypt, no idea what bs they're filling those kids heads with but it's real in their eyes! Rural reactions!

Brother Keep enjoying..Children have blessed you and you have shown them European Love..Congratulations..Road is better than Model..Ha ha ha ha

We don't always recognise adventures while they are happening, you must look back in amazement at this one!

Nice one Richie. I'm in Merzouga now. Laying in bed at the Berber Palace! Stayed with Al Habib last night too. He says hello 😂. Great place. Cheers. Jim. 👍🏻

Fantastic videos Richy. Really enjoyed it. Yep, once committed and grounded, sensible move to relax, have a drink, remove luggage and have a think. Looking forward to the next episode.Your mate with the VFR shouldn't go on your next Morroco trip! I'm sure the video camera doesn't show quite how technical and challenging that section was. Many thanks for all your hard work. Stuart

The real Africa! Now you really have tried and tested it. Road conditions change really fast and you have to challenge both the bike’s and your own abilities. What an experience! 👏🏻🫡

Hats off Richy you have one large pair of gonards to tackle that road especially on your jack Jones, brilliant 💪

Top notch footage and the people are so freindly and helpful. The big lad has served you well and its been home from home in Africa. Big 👍from me.

Very humbling, just goes to show we take far too much for granted. Fantastic episode again Richy, keep up the good work buddy 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hi RIchy, I have been following your amazing trip to Morocco. What a fantastic time your are having. I was impressed with the sound of the horn that is on your bike, and was wondering what type it is. I have the same bike as yourself. The big AT seems to be enjoying the trip as well. Keep safe. Your are a brave man. I dropped mine the other day and needed help to lift it, although i am not very strong. This is great footage and I cannot wait to see the next one. Pray that you have got out safe and sound.

Another mega episode Rich, of an amazing tour. But you left us on the edge of our seats at the end!! Thank you

amazing stuff the locals are so friendly bless them

Quite the cliff hanger, I presume you survived. stuck in the middle of the desert. I say again I really enjoy your interaction with the people. more than the spectacular scenery. I was always torn between the pleasure of sharing an experience with someone and the often the better interaction and acceptance I would find exploring by myself. I found even in some of the poorest places I got best receptions.

Another brilliant video, thanks. And you left it on a cliffhanger, literally. You’ve even got me looking at used Africa Twins. That looked hard work at the end - proper adventuring 👍

This has been an amazing series.

Nailed it again, so looking forward to the next episode, and you're dead right about arriving exhausted after a tough day's riding butch itching for the next days adventure. 👍

Breath taking…what an amazing experience

Utterly Amazing great video scenery amazing, also you did well on the really rough road areas well done ride safe👍

Thanks for the longer episodes

Another superb episode Richy, certainly an adventure. Thats it just leave us waiting in suspense how do you get out of this one...🤔 Regards Glenn.👍👌

Wow richy another great video the scenery is absolutely amazing looks like the surface of the moon our something looks forward to the next vlog keep safe.

Love it Richy, the boy sitting on you bike, his life is changed for ever ❤

Fantastic episode.You must still be in recovery mode.Thks.

Ricky, my heart was in my mouth watching you going up that track 😬 I’m not an off road biker and that track would put the fear in me, the dirt roads are bad enough. Mind you, I live in Scotland and some of our roads aren’t much better at the moment 😂 Poor Keith stuck on that rock 😮 Looking forward to the next one 👍

Wow at least there’s no pot holes even in the desert 😀 great series richy 👍

What a treat to watch this on yet another grey wet day in England. Your description of the long day touring but waking up to do it again has got me planning a trip. I’ve never travelled very far on a bike but will start with a trip around Wales and take it from there. Honda shout give you a new bike and sponsor you after this trip. An amazing add for the Africa Twin

Finished on a cliff/rock hanger. Another epic episode. 👍

Loving this series loads, thanks.

Great series of films, really enjoying them. We did a similar tour September 2022, much hotter then, especially when we got to the Sahara at M'Hamid El Ghizlane. It's an utterly wonderful country, I will go back there sometime, meanwhile I'll enjoy it via KZread

Absolutely fantastic 🏍️💨

I bet you can’t believe You Did That I would love to join you on that road on my KTM but definitely not alone you are certainly having a fantastic Adventure Richy, How will you ever top this Beautiful video 😊

A humbling experience 👍

Quite a rock hanger!

great point to end the video 😮poor keith stuck on a rock 😊great video not sure if a wildbad tour might go up there 😉

Yet another belting episode Rich 👏🏻👏🏻 absolutely loving this series 🇲🇦👏🏻👏🏻

Welcome to Tanzania 🇹🇿..

That was a tester richy lad, I had to laugh, I would have been calling the bike like it was its fault, but that’s an adventure what you won’t forget 🤣🤣 great to watch, look forward to the next one 👍

I recognise the fuel station at 6 minutes, the shop behind is like an Aladdin's cave, tinned fruit after a week crossing the dunes from Bournadib to Erg Chebbi, off piste tasted like heaven. Google Earth is the way to go in Morocco when you can't use street view

Wow that was hard work. Well done mate!

So richy. Guess what? Off to morocco next sunday. 10 day tour.

Another riveting episode Richy 👍. The poor kids scattered when you said about tv … wonder what they thought when you said it . The look of pride on the young lads face as he sat on your bike . I bet it’ll be his go to story for ages . Such a simple gesture can have a dramatic effect . Left it on a cliff hanger there ( litterally 🤣) It’s a daunting isn’t it being stuck, but you took your time and either didn’t panic or some good editing was done. Till the next one

I am loving this tour so much! I haven't seen this much joy and positivity in too long. The beauty of the people and the place has stolen my heart! Literal tears of joy being shed. The boy that got his picture on your bike will definitely become a legend amongst his friends 😂 Very sweet moment ❤

That young lad understands that water means life in the desert. And his gesture could well have saved your life. Depending on how far you went in and if you broke down. He didn't know you but still did it.

Water can be the difference between life and death in the desert and parched parts of Morroco, the boy knew that. When he saw you stop, he took the opportunity to get it back to you. I bet it tasted all the sweeter for that when you swigged it down when you got stuck?

True!

Nice to have a good protection that saves the engine.

At 9:34 , the van was driving on the left due to potholes. Most of the time, they are regular users of these roads. They know the road well, which is why they drive in the center or on the edges of the road when there's no one around.

Fantastic 👏 🚜🚜😎

Cliffhanger or what . Superb

Love it, although I wouldn’t be doing the off road

Squeaky bum time there. Nice to see you being so calm to figure out what to do. No panic, just steady away. Cracking adventure. 👍

Richy i have tried to help you in the past. In this situation go for the middle of the track. Get off the bike make it as light as possible. Use your feet to make a clear path. Your front wheel is your guide. Your back wheel is your traction.😀

I actually don’t know what to say. Apart from. What an awesome video. What an awesome place. And what great people. I think it is because of the ending where you became stuck. I’m so glad to didn’t get trapped under the bike. At least the bikes stuck. BUT THANKFULLY . You’re not under it. But then you have got the heat. I was gritting my teeth. Great video agin. Love it.. you know I’ve never been abroad. Once only But this.:l I think I’d love it:. But I don’t think I’d be able to do it on the two : How about the crf 300l ? And how much would I need on cash ? Think I already asked this 😂 Gonna leave you now. Hope to meet up on one of your local rides soon. God speed best of luck and lots of love to a great inspiration of a man… ……. 🤗 Can’t wait to see more.. 👍👍I’m not a believer in god.. But I’d like to say god bless to you 👍👍
