you'd think they'd manage to source matching disk rotors, wouldn't you.

whose bike is it?

I've got an old-school one...

You and me both. Ideal for that tricky commute to work. The noise it makes is better than any inline 4 or a Duke for that matter. Shame KTM say they're not going to produce an adventure model in the new 690cc format. That pics from last year. Guessing it's Mark Coma's.

I want one of these - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1245751998694395737

Not really the Dakar if its from south America is it?

5thElephant......that's not old school 😉

This is old school Paris - Dakar.....Gaston Rahier (tiny Frenchman on an enormous Beemer)

Yep, those old buses were 5 years before the elefants. Proper bikes back then, none of these single-cyclinder light-weight things with pitiful fuel capacity. Ee.. when I were a lad etc.

Do you think my 125cc husky could manange it?

There was a bloke who did it on a DT125LC back in the 80s. Can't remember if he finished but he certainly made it a long way.

Here's(hopefully) a pic of my beast,at the momment there's more chance of me going to the sand dunes at Formby than the one's in Morocco..

The Mondo Enduro guys went round the world covering 44000 miles on DR350's

Brilliant!
