    Remember during the Maroc Rallye last... when Helder (and I think? Coma's) Irritrackers showed them stationay about 2 km's before the DSS one morning - parked off on a tangent to the liason, before the start control point of the day's selective stage?


    :deal There's your typical paparazzi photo opportunity for you... :lol3

    We were discussing about weight at some point...

    http://shop.speedbrain.de/speedbrain-450-Rally_1

    Well at 26.061,00 € (including 19% VAT :deal ) you can be 133 kilograms heavier. Empty that is.... :wink:

    EDIT: No price on the GasGas yet, but reported 123.4 kg... (and 32lt of fuel vs 29 for the brain). I did not know the Gas Gas was running 5 valve heads :huh

    I am just starting to catch up with work and the advrider thread…

    800 pages, seriously!??? hahahahaha
    Well thanks everybody that was rooting for me, the Bolivia stages were very special to me and all of the Bolivians as you could see.
    My country has so much to show, but it is hardly exploited. The fellow advriders that have been here can tell you…
    If anybody of Advrider wants to stop by in Santa Cruz, let me know and we can go out for a beer.
    As my great mechanic 690RR said, I enjoyed working together and I had zero problems on my bike, only the ones inflicted by me… crashes !@*&^%$*

    Please also PM me links to videos I can watch of the race other than the dakar.com videos…


    Thanks!!

    Damn it, I can't quote 640 Armageddon's post, but he said this about the Gas Gas Rallye bike...

    And I was going to reply with, "Gas Gas have been using Yamaha engines in there 450 and 250 enduros for a few years now..."
