If in doubt, hoist em high!

How to be a winner, in the photography stakes at least!









And hey, why lift one wheel when you can do two - in the words of David Lee Roth... "Might as well - Jump!"

Wes was never one for flowers or schmaltz, so instead his family have set up a Justgiving Page to help raise funds for Riders For Health - a charity that was dear to his heart, that helps to provide bikes and training/maintenance equipment for medial professionals based in Africa, so they can visit remote villages and provide healthcare to the local communities...

I don't want anyone to feel obliged of course, but if anyone is looking to make some sense of it all and is able to help in any way, please donate just a small amount...

Wise words Jenny. A good, apt cause.

I'm not sure who was more surprised by the power of the mighty moped - Ed or ourselves!


The RMS/IYSK Wine team take over what I have affectionately commandeered as the 'media nook' at the start/finish hotel in Douz:


Kim De Ryker 3rd / Mark Smits 1st / Ned Suesse 2nd overall:


Get ready to get soaked!


Don't it feel good!

Not sure what is meant by a "distinctly second-hand looking 690RR" A few stickers peeled off...hardly a big deal!!!

I wish - currently working on the post event summaries for all my featured riders - will post them up here of course together with some fresh photos (if my photobucket bandwidth hasn't cried 'no more' by then!) Jx

Really good pics in this thread. Thanks for that. Now, what new avatar pic? :-)
