    People should just ride what they like.

    I went out to buy a new bike and the list included both the KTM 640 and BMW 650 Dakar,both did not have what i was looking for.

    The DR works for me,that is all that matters.
    Today was another day in the tropics (wet season)
    Caned on the tar seal,plenty of dirt including overgrown single track, a good deal in off/on torrential rain which made the 30 or more water crossings interesting.

    At the end of the day actions speak louder than words.

    Very late in replying to this, but better late than never I suppose.

    Farkling is free (except changing gearboxes I'm told). So farkle to your heart's content - (just don't get caught doing it eh?.......shit.... sidetracked again.... sorry about that)

    You will need to farkle to the extent that you can cope with deep sand and other loose surfaces overlaid on serious corrugatons for long distances. You will need to be able to carry fuel for at least 900 km in these conditions plus water for 3 days in high temperatures. Other supplies like food and somewhere to sleep are optional and up to you as are tools spares etc but you will have to carry your own. No-one else will do it for you.
    Give consideration to maps, GPS, sat phone etc i.e. means of knowing exactly where you are and being able to yell for emergency help should it be necessary.

    Pretty mundane really
    Sunday arvo jaunt.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
