How sweet would it be for EBR to have a bike in Darkar. Based on a stock bike with available from the catalog bolt on parts.

That VW is F'ing cool!

If the Rooster had even made it to market it could have been there but would have needed a 9 gallon or so fuel tank. Looks like a damn hard course.

One note... Was the crashed helicopter the same one caught in another photo chasing a vehicle at about 10 feet off the deck?

Good for them running the race again. I still expected to see a couple of Speck op Cheno's with 50 cals and SAW out in the mix, just in case

Pic #12 has been rotated right 45 degrees for effect. Lay your head on your right shoulder and you'll see what looks to be a steep downhill is actually flat. The car is about to go up a steep hill and the copter is flying level.

Had me fooled. The next time I ride out in the desert, I'm laying my camera off on an angle. My riding skills should improve dramatically.

Did anyone notice the footprints in #13? Where exactly was someone going? Maybe they stopped and took a peek over the hill first.

But really cool pics!

My kids gave me the Ewan McGregor/Charlie Boorman series Long Way Round/Road to Dakar/Long Way Down dvd's for Christmas. Talk about getting stuck on movies.
The Dakar one gives a lot of coverage of what the race is like for the rider, what the equipment is and does and of course how hard it is. I didn't realize how expensive it is to do that race either.
They were talking about the GPS that is monitored back in France or someplace. If the rider hasn't moved for a period of time an operator comes on and asks if you are ok. I thought that was pretty cool.

I find the presence of the Chinese bike interesting, a bit like the emergence of Japanese bikes in the early sixties,the Chinese make a lot of dirt bikes, if they can get their quality in order we may see a whole lot of new arrivals

Keep your eye on American Privateer Jonah Street.

It seems the two Chinese bikes are Yamahas.
