I love that off road champions web site, for about 3 years i check it twice a day, kinda addicted, good euro/usa enduro news.
I'm sure he got fed up with the mechanical issues and probably did say "see ya". Although I'm not keeping up with the WEC lately and not sure how Salminen's doing.
Juha had Day 1 and Day 2 Podiums (2nd place both days) at last WEC. He obviously was able to find the set up he needed over the 4 week break between Italy and Finland. Maybe top step soon, but Aubert on the KTM seems totally dialed.

The truth is he was always forgetting his key and could not get the bike started......hence....not able to ride Inside joke ya'll I had to go there Joe
You had to remind me didn't you? Too bad he wasn't riding a Husky, cause I'm sure a teammate would have loaned him their bike.
Come on Joe... DK is from the Isle-of-Man... everyone knows, those guys know how to hot-wire things in a pinch. More Isle-of-Man Sheep Skull Enduro Rider photos: http://www.sheepskullenduroriders.com/page2.htm
I was so bummed...had some good footage too because me and a friend had a bet to see who could soak another friend with mud first. I bet it never happens again...I know it won't for me because I think about it every time I put my bike on the trailer.
Well it hasn't yet and I think about that trip every time I load. I never forget my now boots either. I knew a guy once that drove 2 hours to a track to ride and forgot my I mean his boots.
So, last week I went to the sjer DS and lost my helmet cam(thanks for the reminder Norm). And until you just mentioned boots, I had forgotten I had been all loaded up last Sunday morning, loaded up my friends bikes around the corner, and started to pull away when I had an image of my boots sitting in my garage flash in my mind. Damn glad I remembered right then or I would've missed the event(though I'd still have my helmet camera).
