The F5 Bivouac (rallye raid news) and W2RC - World cross country rally championship

great pic!.....

OK...Not Roger.....Thanks for the larger photo

Wow! Looked up GR, he was amazing. Definitely shredding the 'gnar... !!!!

I like the video tribute quote "of course I will win, I'm gaston!" I think it's this French quality that I like in CdP. It's good to be self-assured!

oh smack! :eek1:eek1

you're going for the win! and the race hasn't even started!:huh

(ok, now someone say something insightful about motorcycles, it's a slow night....)

Motorcycles : you can do Wheelies and BIG Skids on 'em!

And, if your bike isn't 'perfect' for you, you can spend time, and money - some times, lots of both, making it " Go fast and handle good ".

I think, that's as insightful as you need to get about 2 wheels...........

Hey johnboy, good to see you aroundthe way. Are you sticking around for the start? Or just milling about for the tech/reg.

yo, Jeremy, i'm here for the start!

i really appreciate all that you and your family did for Dave and me out at the rally! Say hi to the girls, they're all very cute.

I can't wait for this Dakar to go down. It's going to be quite the battle.

Everything good in your world? What the latest on the bike build? You doing BJR2.0?

I don't know if this is old news but I stumbled on a few old Dakar vids a while ago.

This guy has put up the 85, 93 to 98, 2000 to 2002 vids.

THX! Gets the blood flowing, don't it!

They say: "You don't stop riding because you get old... Yo u get old because you stop riding!"

Thanks for posting that Trev, that 85 video is a cracker

Lada Niva team didn't even make any cars to the first special, hahah

watching it now! $%^&% slow internet!

I would like to be able to download these.

Particularly liked the "Marlboro Music" at the start of the first one.

Thanks

In Firefox YouTube downloader or mp4 downloader. You should have loaded the highest resolution vid so the downloader will grab that one.

now I know what I will be doing the next two weeks !

Download working fine.

thanks for the assist.

.....and many thanks to the person who put these up, it'a a great way to get ready for this year.
