hey, here's something cool. Ivo Kastan, the guy who rode the tiger in dakar many years ago did this years race - it was his 9th race. this year he entered a 110cc honda . he made it 4 stages befor it pissed out so much oil that he could'nt finish and he scratched. he got it running again and is following the race along on it because his wife is a reporter covering it. the guy's got some huevos. his bike looked pretty cool, like a pit bike on steroids. http://dirtyhabits.ie/smf/index.php?topic=174.0 (http://dirtyhabits.ie/smf/index.php?topic=174.0)

Not to drag out an old thread but this seemed the appropriate place to put this.  This is some nice video of riding along with Jonah, albeit low quality still a great ride.

No kidding.  I loved how the bike popped in and out.  It was a great feel watching that video.  That's why I posted it.  Jonah's an animal!
