2013 Dakar Pre-Event Discussion

Troy,
Conrgats on the modification.
A worthy appointment in racing. Excellent.

Dakar,
Geez this will be the longest 5 days of my life.

Well he does have a British Passport these days (even if he does still have an Aussie one too)!

I´m with Troy.

4 more days........

This is a video of Ruben Faria last training!

Si Pavey has just posted this latest update (filmed beautifully by his son). There's a few familiar faces in it.

They left off Kevin Muggleton, who's a Brit living in Denver. 186 on a crf wearing something like my rallymotokit.

Just went and watched the Si Pavey films, if anyone had been procrastinating, don't! They are awesome!

Yeah I clicked through as well, in one of them he talks about the bike and he says it the first time in his Dakar career that he feels the bike exactly as it should be, he seems very satisfied and happy about the husqvarna...

Usually the Jan 1st podium run meant that at least I wasn't working on that day and I could follow the live start off feed, this year I will be at work when the wheels start spinning..

OK, just a few more days of wait left...

Ya, sincerely hoping they keep filming throught the race...the quality of the edit is outstanding

Well a very happy new year to all ADVF5riders if you are there, nearly there, or will be there when we have been there

Strange that it's new year and still 5 days to go - what to do, we'll for now eat, drink and be merry

Too Old..... too soon!

Some of us still have over eight hours to go until 2013


Only five sleeps to Dakar though

Manuel! "Going to Dakar with all of your names on me!" - fb

Fantastic

Fantastic stuff ! Thanks for the heads up Ned.

Looks like Laia's getting her new ride dialled in!!!!!

Your cost of doing last year's Dakar may have been $xxx,xxx.xx but your take on the experience will forever be PRICELESS.

Thanks Ned!!!

I knew there was a reason I kept the last week of last years rally on DVR...

"French porn star prominently featured on Dakar rally bike."



Rider is Frenchman Hugo Payen. Article states that the porn star is supporting him to the tune of $20k Euros, "including the presence of the actress." :eek1

Only the presence?



You think this post will make the Rally Raid Twitter feed? I mean, this is my 15 minutes of fame! Finally!!!

his twitter is wine me dine me 69 me
