An ode to my Dakar

[cloudgazer]

I purchased my Dakkie in Dec 07 - and to say she has changed my life would be a major understatement.
I've traveled across SA, been to the cederberg half a dozen times, ridden the Sani pass, attended a WD bash, and been to Africa Burn twice.
I've ridden solo and with mates and with strangers.

The bike has given me so many incredible adventures in the last 5 years.
60,000kms of near perfect running.
She's never really broken down on me, and I've only ever had one puncture.

This beautiful bike is the epitome of adventure bikes.
I still get a thrill every time I set up camp, crack open a beer and marvel at the machine that got me there.
Bullet proof and capable.

Here are some of my ride reports (in no particular order)
