Nothing new in the M/c mfgs from what I can tell, no ZongShin this year, but I'll be pulling for the Shercos!

Anybody here besides me watching the Dakar on NBCSN ?  Yesterday they were in the desert and it was brutal in all classes except the quads.  Driving those big trucks in those big sand dunes was insane!!  :shocked:  Some bikes, cars were taken out of the race.  You can watch the action @ night.

Daily but they are jumping the showtime all over the map.  Sometimes 8pm, sometimes 1130pm, etc.

I have it percolating on my DVR.   Saw one show where the Red Bull guy had an injury due to back compression.

In Australia we can watch it every afternoon at 5.30 on SBS, its bloody fantastic. Dakar and the Vende Globe yacht race are the toughest competitions out there in my opinion.

I loved last night's footage of the MINI bouncing around in the surf!  Maybe he was trying to join that sailing race?
