    Put your feet up Neil, Sit back and relax....:evil

    I am actually looking forward to getting some pics of you Ryan. See you soon.

    Hi John,
    i have been on the prowl so hope to have a few pics. See you soon mate.

    .....

    With a bit over 1 week to go, the 2013 Australasian Safari this year will mainly be a local contest.

    I thought I would give the inmates here a very selective overview of the Safari.
    Who is a real chance and who is up just for the adventure.

    This is a bit of a task, and am hoping for some support from Troy and others to fill in the spaces. Troy is the “Safari Brains Trust” so ask away with any questions.
    I am doing a 4036K drive on Friday so will be out of the conversation for a few days.

    Starting with the team to beat, based on past and current performance. GHR Honda (Glen Hoffman Racing). Riders Jake and Todd Smith are team mates in arguably Australia's best off road racing team. I recently spent a day with Glen and the team, with the bikes sticker-d up on a shakedown ride.

    From Left to Right.
    Jake Smith, Simon Wade, (mechanic extraordinare') Glen Hoffmann (GHR team boss) Todd Smith.

    Thanks Dimitri! Wow your roadbook turned out great. i wish it was around before i bought my outdated roadbook. truly remarkable. Thanks to you and the fellow adv riders for the support and encouragement. I said it before that i have a great deal of respect for rally and understand how lucky i am to have the chance to do it. i will make the most of it and enjoy the whole experience with my family. We are looking forward to meeting some really good people real soon. hopefully there is a mobile wifi hotspot in the bivouac so we can keep everyone up to date. there is also a live feed too so that should be good. cheers

    Can anyone name the bloke on the bike...? He's a newcomer to moto/cross country rallying circles... but hardly a n00b... :wink:
