Must've been seriously warm that side of the mountain [emoji855]

Ha ha, I would not know. This pic is from earlier in the year. It represents what I am looking forward to when I get back to the Garden Route next week. Currently seeing out this contract rotation in Kuwait!

Myself an a buddy did a quick little 2 day adventure from Auckland to some tracks in and around the Coromandel.

Here we are at the summit. The luggage on the bikes helped with traction through all the mud. My Husky 450 climbed like a mountain goat!

A quick stop before I descended down a white clay chute. Just around the corner there was a huge deep bog, so I had to turn around and ride back up the chute. 

 

We swam in the river, had garage pies for dinner, camped nearby, and hit some more trails the next day.

Ross Branch LEADING the Dakar!!! What a bojtjie.... Smashing today's stage for the win and overall lead race lead. I've had the displeasure of "racing" against this chap in sand before... They don't call him "THE KALAHARI FERRARI" for nothing :-) :-)

Yes great stage win!!!! But up to 6th in overall, Sam leading bikes. And Giniel wins the stage in cars, great day for Africa at the Dakar.

So there are 80 rally bikes made, of which 18 are the Husky's. That includes allocation for the factory teams. So what ever is left is pre-sold before they are even manufactured. 

 

I wonder how many they brand as Gas Gas

Quick question off the Dakar topic. 

 

Taxis...

 

Are they allowed to stop in the middle of the road to load/offload passengers or is it illegal?

 

Anybody know?
