Anyone watching the Dakar Rally - Jonah Street (USA) in 7th place

(1/2) > >>

DHregdovic:
Not sure how many know about the yearly Dakar Rally as it doesn't get a lot of American coverage. I was lucky enough to ride with Jonah a few times when I was in Central Washington. He a great guy and an awesome rider - very humble guy too. 5500 miles in 14 days would be an awesome feat. Race is in Argentina and Chile. Robby Gordon from Nascar is running 10th place in his Hummer H3 too. Anyone interested can check it out at www.dakar.com - Versus also has daily updates too.

Go Jonah!!!

Motorrad:
Been following it for well over 10 years now. 
The Dakar is part influance why I bought my new 2002 ktm 640 adventure. 

DHregdovic:
Nice bike!!! I just hate the way the Dakar Rally and other events are really pushing 450's now. There are alot of big bores out there that are very good but will never get their marketing potential. Looks like they may go the way of the 2-strokes  :-( :-( :-(
