Showoff.  It's probably one of the best Steamer pics ever, though.

From Ken Minnion/Fishnbiker's trip to the Horizons Unlimited rally in Mexico:



"Two Old Steamers"

One of my favorite Steamers of all time:

The ultimate Steamer?  (other than yours of course, Patrick!)











The story according to 'longear' over on advrider:



"ivo kastan from czech republic took the tiger to the dakar in 98 ,it was the biggest ,bad ass bike there.

what happened was simple big mistake of the organization of Dakar.after putting 20 liters in ivos tiger and getting to a point where there was suppose to be refuel station,there was no gas at all so he decided to stay and wait for gas but no one ever showed up.it was a very tough stage and just like other 17 riders hoping for elimination of that stage because of the mistake, they got eliminated instead

it was around 7 stage in Africa so i think it was success to get that far.

the cost of the bike was about $45 000 at the time."

No, I have to disagree: This is the unltimate Steamer. More than mine.  



Last weekend I met Stephan Hessler, a guy who saw Ivo Kastan and his Dakar-Steamer in action at a rally to Moscow. Stephan (this year's winner of the Rally di Croatia, who is a well known man in the DR BIG community) said that the Ivo's Tiger broke down this rally, too on account of problems with the rear shocks...



These are some pics of me at Stephan's DR Offroad Days 2006 (where I met him):











No, the guy helping me to climb a muddy hill isn't Stephan.

Mudhen:  what is the story regarding the taller fairing on the BRG '96 you posted the photo of above?  It is very well fitted and I have not seen another like it.  Thanks, MJ
