BB or someone else can you please post a list with names and numbers it will make it easier . I'm getting battle weary and not remembering race numbers anymore  :imaposer: Some more pics of Day 5 .  :ricky:

Yes agree.  :thumleft: :thumleft:  Rallying is also very much a mind-game . Here is what Andrew had said when he was interviewed before the Amageza on Mental Preparation for the Amageza Rally :" There are a few; The biggest I think is being disciplined NOT to race. It is 4500km’s and going...

Some more pics of yesterday's big drag race .  :biggrin: That 1st pic looks like Vince Cobie , Thomas Eich and Koos.  ( trying to remember race nrs)

So Andrew Kamanya was in his element yesterday . A big drag race he called it and he came 7th for the day , and he is now 12th overall , despite losing 2 hours fixing his caps after he crashed into at tree on Day 4, after they got off-track. Those 525's seems to be the business .  And Team 525...

Its so great that the competitors still have time to communicate with us earthlings .  :3some: One can see Greg Miller is enjoying himself , whilst still riding remarkably well too .  He must have pushed his bike up that Botswana Dune just for the pic as he says they didn't get to ride dunes...

Greg Miller really impresses me with his riding and his all round good attitude . From his facebook page : " Day 5 of Amageza, had a nerve racking start to the day, I was about to head to the start of liaison at 6am when my teammate Jason Manley noticed oil leaking from the motor, thread had...

Yes absolutely .  :thumleft:  I agree,  there is nothing like Rallying . It keeps everyone on their toes all the time,  including us keyboard jockeys  :ricky: BB thanks for the great updates and pics  :thumleft: :thumleft:

The photographers are really outstanding again this year. Some nice pics of Kamanya , he seems to be enjoying his smaller 525 but I think he misses his 950 in the longer straighter sections.  It's such a trade off always.

Sean , the main marshal puts a smile on my face  , he is always gesturing or smiling in his photos .  :biggrin: :biggrin:

:laughing4:  Haha that was just me , I can really feel the Rally this year, I have this headacky , shaky feeling that I normally only get in January . This obsession about some unidentified flying objects far away . A niggling worry that everyone is not accounted for and not knowing what is...

Apology accepted Blue Bull.  :thumleft: It's all cool . We are suffering alongside our comrades.  Keyboard fatigue and Rally fever .  :biggrin: :biggrin:

What I said about speeding fines was a joke .  The guys were just fooling around and joking a bit and letting their hair down , but yes I'm sure they are fully aware of the dangers out there.  And yes agree it is still far to ride on smaller bikes . I am not google- earthing , because  I am...

So as I understand the guys who are riding and not being trailered are riding 290 km on tar now and following road signs and not tulips so I guess the worse thing that can happen to them today is a speeding fine ? 

Helene . Donovan apparently got lost yesterday and did 800 km + and probably just ran out of fuel .  He can do that and still continue to take part which he did today , as everyone has one cut and run card . Unfortunately he won't get a finisher's medal , which is such a pity as he was doing so...

Sorry this thread moving too quickly . Aidan apparently was on Tubliss. His inner bladder burst , not sure why . He used Pratley Steel on the valves to keep them there and he was lucky the tyre stayed on. Very brave man.  Him and Justin are new riders to the Amageza , I think their whole team...

:laughing4: :laughing4: Yes at least we can get some work today . Tomorrow will be a monster .  Over 800 km 's of apparently tough stuff. Thanks for the pics Allawyn and XPat  :3some:

Awesome thanks Allawyn  :thumleft: . I get tears in my eyes reading stuff like this , these guys are legends .  So inspired by these heroic riders .   :3some:

Do you have any questions for the riders  ? Ask them now.  What do you most want to know?

Yes,  and the guys are procrastinating and talking a ton of kak,  because it's tar all the way now.  :imaposer: :imaposer:

The Special was shortened to 230 km to get everyone across the border. Special done and dusted for some .  Huge sand road .  They could ride wide open taps.
