<style> </style> Dakar 2013 route is announced, at last a cure for boredom
Wondering whether this will be the last for Robbie Gordon
Mostly though the real question is Chaleco or Despres?
What bout this fella Poskitt?, Never heard of him they say
Well here is his website, hes a first timer dont you know
Well I dont know about his riding but he sure markets like a pro
After 15 minutes talking, they show interest it would seem
And everyone goes crazy once you tell them Dakar is his dream!

The story starts in April, when Pyndons plan first gets a mention
The goal is just to get to the finish seems to be the intention
KTM 450 Rally shall be the chosen steed
Oh shit this is serious, our appetites we begin to feed
Sponsors, a dealership on board and support packages to be had
A mechanic decision fantastic news hell be doing this with his Dad!!!!
Broken foot aside the prep work went without a hitch
But my wife is lonely and in need of some attention as I become an F5 bitch

The first real stage of Dakar on day 2 was long and sandy
Pyn keeping it steady and sensible and looking really handy
Day 3 saw many come to grief on the long and challenging stage
Our boy keeps his head down and is enjoying every day
In f5hose land we watch his progress and look forward to the picture show
Then out of nowhere BAM theres a SWEET ASS SUPER SLO-MO!!!!!!!
Along comes the family as Mum and sister now are here
Joining in the F5 chorus shouting, screaming and full of cheer

Say that again - a top 10 finish, that cant be, Im no fool
Better listen once again to the call in with PackMule
9<sup>th</sup> place on a Dakar stage! Could he? Did he? No way!
In the biggest pond full of the biggest sharks, your proving yourself day after day
A historic moment and overwhelmed we rush to our television
Rallyradio call in shows rewards if you have persistency of vision
A high speed crash, a snapped fork yoke from far we hear DGs cries
But this is Pyndon, see what hell do with J-B Weld and Zipties

The penultimate stage is upon us and he wrestles and fights the quads
Best not get too emotional here we mustnt piss off any mods
Now is not the time to open the bubbly, stay calm and remain sober
This is the Dakar dont forget and it aint over till its over!
Mornings here and all our nerves are caught up in a muddle
Im on my 8th cup of coffee and all I want is a cuddle
WP1, then 2 and 3.. what Pyn and PynDad must be feeling
Go on my son, GO ON MY SON!!! we can start believing!

Lets not forget a Dakar attempt is financially difficult to manage
So maybe stick your hand in your pocket and buy a support package!
For Pyndons efforts this year have just blown us all away
He has realised a dream since he was a boy and hes done it his own way
My Missus wants me to sell the bike and buy a brand new car
But after these two weeks of wonder I want to do the Dakar
Hes in! Hes done it! Sadly the end of the show
But at last we can let all of our tears and emotions go

Goodbye and thank you RallyRadio, PynDad and F5rs
And all the people working for the international cell phone providers
For having Pyndon call in has made this Dakar one hell of a show
Ive still no idea who won it, was it Despres or Chaleco?
THIS was the story of the Dakar for me, the most intriguing there is no doubt
PYNDON HAS FOOKIN DONE IT!!!! We now can all shout
And thanks to all you inmates out there, unturning every stone
For updates throughout the day whilst he was out there on his own
But I guess thats actually an assumption, for he rode hard and stayed strong
Because we were right there riding with him and pushing him along

Well done Pyndon you deserve it more than anyone

Well said Gareth!
I will never have the financial oooomph to compete in this Dakar unless I win the lotto, but I have to get closer to it. This year has been totally awesome as we've been there for the ride with Lyndon. Thanks for sharing everything.

To everyone who's made this journey possible from our iPods, iPhones, iPads and any other iTems you've got!

Cheers

Now roll on 2016 cos I'm off to the Dakar!

RedRocket · Jan 19, 2013

Congratulations Pyndon!

You are a STUD!

ian408 · Jan 19, 2013

It's awesome to see guys like Pyndon finish the Dakar.

And it's awesome that guys like Baldy, Doyle, PackMule and so many others come together and
bring all of us our very own live coverage of the event. I doubt any broadcast network has as
much coverage as is available from the F5 fire hose.

Looks like he got 44th overall.

Moved to 46th now as other riders come in. But should stay there now.

http://www.dakar.com/dakar/2013/us/stage-14/rankings/overall-bikes.html

To finish the Dakar at the first attempt is an achievement - to get a top 50 placing 9and lets not forget that 9th place on one stage) is just freaking awesome

Rossbike · Jan 19, 2013

This has been the best story of the Dakar. Thanks for taking the time to call in and having the skills to pull it all together and finish. Just 50 weeks left to prep for next years race.

Congrats Pyndon!!! and cheers!

Clay Spinner · Jan 19, 2013

Many congratulations! With the amount of people watching you I hope your sponsors are pleased. I know where I'm buying my next pair of shoes from (Veg Shoes), my next bike gear from (AS) and my custom laminates and carbon (Attwater)!

Now... Just waiting around for your Ride Report!!!!

MaddBrit · Jan 19, 2013

Wow just wow!

True grit from the true Brit.

Your Mum is going to give you such a big hug when you get home. Brace yourself!

I need to buy some of his sponsor stuff.

FinnDuro · Jan 19, 2013

Lyndon, after all that's been said: thank you for the ride! It really felt that we were part of the journey, being able to share your Dakar moments with us. Thank you.

I said this earlier to you when got into supporting you: In my view, privateer riders such as yourself, Ned Suesse and the likes, not to mention late Kemal Merkit, are what Dakar rally spirit and rider dedication really boils down to.

Here's to you, congratulations on finishing the Dakar.!

LYNDON THROUGH DAKAR 2013 CONGRATULATIONS PYN!!!
