One day, one day... at a minimum a spectator, ideally a participant

 

[Stephen]

I know what I'll be doing every night for 15 days starting Saturday!

Right there with you Kurt. I've been watching Dakar since I was knee high. I'd love to at least go, participating would be incredible!

CANNOT WAIT!

Still sad about route change out of Africa.

Agree, but to an extent... South America offers some excellent challenges that rival Africa, IMO.

 

[Kevin B.]

Sure, but the Dakar belongs in Africa. South America can get it's own race.

Terrorist threats drove Dakar away from Dakar...

 

[Kevin B.]

That sucks.

What also sucks is I don't get Versus. I'll be watching on-line, I guess.

 

[Tonkaman]

Ill be honest, I've never seen this race. I'm excited to finally watch it this year tho. What's the best way to watch it ? Online or cable?

 

[Stephen]

Hehe. The Brits will be providing 1,200 hours worth of video. You just have to know how to find it.

We have our own local boy that has been head mechanic for the factory KTM team. He is also the shop manager for Salt Lake Motorsports. He has gone to KTM in Europe and built the bikes from the ground up

That is too cool!!

I'd give anything to be able to ride some of the course (at my own pace of mind you ) on a dirt bike. Some of the dunes down there are insane.

Day 1 recap, lots of Mini's... hahaa!! -

Loving the updates. Sadly i have to catch them online this year oh well.

Some of those dunes are insane. They're HUGE. I would give anything to take my CR500 to Peru

 

[Hickey]

They sure got some sexy rides!
