Don’s Quote Of The Day: “I’m proud to say I did finish the rally again this year.”<\/p>\n
Don’s quote says it all, he finished all 6 stages of the rally for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n
For Don’s thoughts on stage 6 listen to the audio clip.<\/p>\n
Don finished the rally in a very respectable 4th place in the Motorcycle Enduro Cup. Just to finish is a remarkable feat and Don and his team would like to congratulate everyone who took place in this years rally.<\/p>\n
Don provided the following overall summary of the rally.<\/p>\n
The KTM 690 Enduro was defiantly the wrong choice in bikes for this rally and I had to ride the wheels off it to place as high as I did. I can tell you I was longing for my dakar bike, as it would have been in its element on this course. The 690 Enduro is a good bike, but the thing that most people don’t know about it is that in order to get a lower seat height on it, they simply cut back on the suspension travel 25% to only 8 – 9 inches of stroke.<\/p>\n
My navigation went very well. I was a little caught off guard by the heat in stage 2 however after a short rest in the desert I recovered enough to finish well that day. After that I wore a few less items of clothing.<\/p>\n
I did not have any trouble in the large Dunes on stage 3 and was pleased that I was able to navigate my way through over 20 kms of Dunes successfully. I did make a couple of minor navigation errors but nothing serious.<\/p>\n
Well next stop Dakar!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
