Like it Capo - 660 was better than the 690 in my book too!

If you're new to Rallying -check out Desert Rose Racing
They support everything from local enduros, to two day rallys to the FIM 5-6 Day international Rallys.

They got me from zero to Dakar in 3 years and are more like a club than a company! Their racing website is down ready to re-launch out Dakar2012 campaign but the training site is up : www.adventureridingacademy.com

Call Patsy Quick or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and tell her I sent you.... ; -)

We are completely rebuilding some 525s (down to 450) for Dakar 2012 so will be ready to swap build stories!
I hope to see you soon!

Cheers
Jago
