Tuareg Rally 2013 Tunisia Entries open

Doug : NORRA Mexican Rally in May 2013
can be a easy ride to start getting back in to shape!!

RMS has room for one more rider to join us. We have a great group going, including Charlie (lastplace), Sid, Dirk, and Jean-Luc.

We have all the shipping (to/from Oakland, CA) and logistics worked out. We also have a sponsor for the team, which is making this an even more affordable proposition.

If you are interested, please contact me.

Cheers,
Dave

Youre killing me Dave, Id love to do this rally again.

You can even use my bike--I'll put it in the container for you ;-)

Let's put together a list of ADVriders that are going to be in the Tuareg.

I'll start with those whose real names I know, let me know who is missing and if somebody wants to keep their screen name a secret for some weird reason :

aquavit aka Dirk Kessler CAN KTM 690
Beaney aka Wesley Beane UK 690E
Jean-Luc aka Jean-Luc Solans FRA KTM 690
GSNorCal aka David Peckham USA (are you riding Dave or doing support?)
Lastplace aka Charlie Rauseo USA XR650R
LukasM aka Lukas Matzinger AUT FE570
Neduro aka Ned Suesse USA XCF505
Schattat aka Tony Schattat GER Yamaha WR450F

I'm doing support this go around. Other SF-based inmates from the RMS team:

aquavit aka Dirk Kessler CAN KTM 690
Jean-Luc aka Jean-Luc Solans FRA KTM 690

Sweet, Jean-Luc's ride report down to Chile was the first one I ever read on ADV.

what type of cost are you looking at ????
$$$

PM sent.

That is awesome! Congrats! Can't wait to follow from here.

The Swedes will be there again, 10-12 riders something, with some really good and talented riders. Calle Hagenblad, 2:nd in 2011, will for sure aim for the podium again.

My brother Åmme and myself will not make the Tuareg in 2013 as we are heading for Rally Mongolia in August.

I'm going to throw my hat into the ring too... all being well with the new race bike, this should be the first 'shake-down' event we compete in next season...

I'll be going with Torque Racing Services (Martin Wittering & Donna Gray) from the UK who are providing support and assistance - they already have a number of riders going, but can always accommodate others who are looking for a comprehensive support package - plus there is currently a special offer of training and pre-event 'scrutineering' should you require any further incentive!

Good luck Jenny

Martin is a great guy and a VERY experienced mechanic

Our friend ktmJOE's bike is already in Europe and he's racing with Torque as well, then shipping home in the RMS container.



See y'all there.

Dave

New race bike?
Which bike have you choose?
Keep up informed

+1...Hi Jenny, so whats all this news about "we" and "new bike".....

Hee hee - let's get all the hoo-ha of Dakar 2013 out of the way, then hopefully I will have a project to keep you all entertained right up until (and including) Dakar 2014...

The details are coming together over the next few weeks, and all being well - I will be able to launch the new campaign right after the finish of Dakar in January... I think it is really going to appeal to everyone here on ADV, for so many reasons!

Sorry to sound so cryptic, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves until the new bike is up and running...
