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!

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

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, 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.

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.

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
