Tuareg Rally 2012

I use clear, yellow, or a slightly tinted grey that probably has a fancy name that I don't know. The yellow works great when there isnt a lot of sun...plus it makes you feel happy

Good luck all you ADVers who've entered.
Does anyone know if the French guy Fabien Barel who's on the entry list is the former mountain bike downhiller and three time DH world champ? It probably is since he retired from MTB racing last season.

I think you just potted a potential top 5 finisher!

I hate those former pro sporters

Hi All,

Looking at the safety gear for the Toureg, are these the flares I need "Pains-Wessex Minflare Pen Signal Kit" from:

Any bike suppliers in the UK that sell the rally emergency gear?

thanks,

Clayton

He's a really nice guy, not like CD at all, I'm sure he'll help pull you out of the mud if you get stuck tehdutchie! Seriously though Fabien was one of the most universally liked and respected guys in downhilling (and an amazing rider).

Flares can be bought in the bivac too, just make sure you bring an emergency kit, michelin card of morocco and compass.

Excellent thank you.

Sweet! Are you there with Patsy this week?

Hi guys, looks like things are cracking along nicely for the Touareg.. im currently out in Morocco with Patsy, Chris and newcomeer to the game Jamie.. some great riding so far and heading to Merzouga this morning with camping in the desert tonight.

Bloody brilliant trails freshly laid down by Jonny Maroc.

See you at the weekend in Wales for those that will be there!

Lucky you!! Making us all envious!! Any pics??

Pains-Wessex are just of the Salisbury to Amesbury road. Be cheeky and give them a ring, they might give you a set as sponsorship, worth a try.

*EDIT* Whoops, that will be the military ones - the commercial PW are in Fareham but anyway:

Mikael

Ill make sure to pass by a few times and give you all the ADV salute

Sure have! will put some up later on, just got in to the hotel after a night out in the desert at a Berber camp.. been a fantastic week so far, great tracks laid down by Jonny Maroc and we used his bikes, which have been nothing short of faultless.

Feeling very happy back on the bike again after not riding since October.

Bring on Touareg!!

Just in...
