I just noticed the listing an hour or so before the programme started. Glad I did. Now all I have to do is remember that it's on each Sunday.

There was a link posted on KB once to a website about Canadian guy's Dakar experience. I had no idea of just how tough it was. The bits you see on TV, bikes blasting across the desert, don't go anywhere near showing the true nature of the thing.

A broken collar bone gota rip ya nighty

There is a competion where one can win 2 days ride on a BMW but one has to be over 25 and the small print states that they, being BMW Experience or Doco Channel can turn down anyone they deem to be unsuitable for any reason. But one does to keep the gear though.
