French Royal Enfield Team Dakar Rally Video

Came across this video in Jorge Pullin's blog and he found it in David Blasco's blog.



Road Trip moto Argentine from Mono 500 - Riding Experiences - on Vimeo.

It's a video of a team of four French riders doing the Dakar Rally on Royal Enfields.  The Rally began in 1979 as a race from Paris to Dakar.  It has not been run in Africa since 2008.  That year it was cancelled due to security concerns after the murder of four French citizens and three Mauritanian soldiers.  The Rally was reinstated the following year but to be run in South America rather than Africa.

Great video with nice music but the best part is at the very end, after the logo, showing one of the riders getting a spitting from a guanaco.  Well worth the watch.
