http://blogs.dirtrider.com/6676858/news/jonah-street-wins-rally-mongolia/index.html American Rally Ace Jonah Street dominated eight days and 3,700 kilometers of Rally Mongolia navigation racing, taking four-out-of-seven individual stage victories and maintaining more than a three-hour advantage over the nearest bike competitor at the finish. Jonah raced a borrowed Yamaha WR450. Met him a few times, very down to earth and looks like a normal human, rides like something else. Amazing dude.
good stuff!! one of my associates just returned from Mongolia, he was with the sports federation (gov folks) as an FIM licensed MX instructor working with a plan for their Nat MX team and schooling riders. They are super interested in motos and motorsports. Historically speaking they were/are the master horsemen of the east and they may surprise everyone with their innate ability to Moto!! Happy to see them getting themselves on the mx/offroad stage!! Hope this aint a hijack. Go Jonah!! http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/525/7658/Motorcycle-Article/Rally-Mongolia--The-West-Connects.aspx
First American to Race there. First American to Win! Sounds a little like Jim Pomeroy ... ... Orange bikes are everywhere apparently ...
Yep and that wr has a orange machine parked right beside it ... A borrowed bike? Ain't that cool! ... Yo, Bro, I think I can win this race... You got a bike I can ride? ... Guys that ride on the calibrator can usually just jump on a bike and haul the bacon
It's obviously a full on rally bike so I am guessing it was rented from a outfit that does that type of thing. Yes KTMs are everywhere.

Great job Jonah! He is the only reason I follow the Dakar race. For basically a privateer he rocks! Now if Husky would just step up and get him a bike.....
