KTM is kicking ass and taking names, Honda is in close pursuit. Bugnatr is probably watching Dakar with his pants around his ankles, with a box of Kleenex! JSNS!

A guy who had been in our local Tenere group is an Aussie who retired and decided to move to Thailand. By riding his Tenere! He's done 40-some thousand miles and after reaching Tierra Del Fuego decided to see the Dakar. Trevor is getting the rock star treatment, a great photographer, and has a thread you may like:

OK, so maybe the last one wasn't racing. Still worth the shot.

Two years into retirement, then & now:
