Hi All,

Beside the point - but there is a Dakar thread.

I was watching the Rally on Eurosport last night, and a VERY interesting thing was said.

If you pay KTM 20,000 swiss francs, you can be a rider for them in the Dakar. They provide the bike, the back up, the spares etc etc. This is about 30,000 ~US dollars (I think). A friend of minbe from Ireland is currently riding in the Dakar, (not with KTM), and his trip cost almost 50,000 US.!!!

Something to think about if anybody wants to do the Dakar.

Regards
Brian

<>Someone asked if he could find info on the Dakar rally somewhere else apart from http://www.dakar.fr/99us/. There is one more I go to: http://www.eurosport.com/dakar/default.htm 

You will also find that several of the competitors have their own pages. 

Kind regards
