Some nice shots here thought I would share.

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

I wondered when this would come up. I've been following it on the Versus network.

i get better and more up to date coverage from advrider than VS and that's sad.


i dont' completely understand the whole coma situation. if he isn't allowed to get something from people on that part of the stage then what happens if he breaks down? does he push the bike through the rest of the liason to where the support teams are? there are other teams that pulled parts off of spectator bikes and they didn't get a 6 hr penalty.
he's riding very angry right now. i hope he can stay focused and not crash. he's definately a good rider.

i'm also hoping jonah street can keep climbing up.

i love that pic. i also love tthe fact that there are moto tracks going straight down the side of the hill.
i think i might have to stop and clean out my pants at the bottom if i came upon something like that one my normals rides.

I've been following online.


STUPID DishNetwork removed my versus channel at the begining of the year: i,e. the day the race started  [bang]

I hate how they switch my channels around all the time.



I wish speed (NASCAR) tv would go back to doing the Dakar coverage....much better job that VS. has done the last few years.

So is there a set route they travel?

or pretty much get from here to there, go anyway you want, just make it there?
