Cool stuff. Ive been following it all with a few long distance phone calls. While Silvia is ripped, and Puy is fast, the lady to watch is www.rallyprincess.com She was an astonishing 6th overall on one stage at the Pharoans. By far the highest finish of a woman ever in world rally bikes. Anyway--yeah it sucks not to be there. While the south american event is very cool, its still hard to believe they arent going to the Sahara. For those into this type of racing there is something very very cool coming together: www.africarace.com I will race accross the sahara again on a Husky in '09, in shallah.
That’s funny Mike But isn’t this part of the reason the 2009 Dakar race is not going to be anywhere near Dakar??? You don’t need to answer this, we all know the truth
