Had to do that once at the Cord...10 miles of gravel road into a gas stop after a flat rear tire would not stay on the rim. On gravel? Not too bad...In the sand dunes???? On a heavy Dakar bike??? 120 miles??? I saw the video otherwise I'd never believe it. Amazing!

After last years heartbreaking end it was good to see Ricky Brabec win it! He has tried so hard for so long. He deserved it! First American to win in 42 yrs. of Dakar! [:p]
