I'll be there, rally bike #128. Who else is going?
At the very least it'll be nice to go south and get out of the snow for a while. The bike has a new steering damper, more lights, and some super knobby sand tires, so if I can keep the thing right side up it should be a good time
I went there a bunch of years ago to spectate. Have fun.
One of my buddies is bringing his KTM 450 down, which is all rally raided out. I've thought a bit about taking the 950, but it's probably not going to happen. Good luck!
In reply to gearheadE30:
Your friend's KTM will be in my class then- I count at least 12 bikes in Dakar class alone
Seen that entry list? Seems like almost everybody is going!
I wasn't planning on going as work has been crazy busy the past few weeks, but knowing there will be warmer temps down there makes it tempting
In reply to ¯_(ツ)_/¯:
Sweet, look for this one then. His name is Malhon; he's a pretty good guy.
Good luck! After last weekend's rally I can't get away on such a quick turnaround. Our driver (Ozgur Simsek) will be there co-driving some badass 400hp Focus though

This sounds pretty awesome. Perhaps I will need to take a "mental health day" next Friday to make the trip down south.

Irish, you know Ozgur? Were you at WMWR?
