We are excited to announce we have joined forces with Dons friend \u00a0Simon Pavey from the UK\u00a0for the 2013 Dakar Rally.<\/p>\n

Simon Pavey has become a household name with respect to the\u00a0Dakar Rally and Adventure . Well\u00a0known for his part in teaching successful documentary\u00a0” Race to Dakar “with\u00a0\u00a0Charley Boorman and as\u00a0owner of\u00a0the wildly popular BMW Off Road Skills,\u00a0adventure motorcycle school.\u00a0Simon has one of the most impressive Dakar records in both the UK and his native Australia. Six finishes from eight starts doesn’t happen by accident and in Simon\u2019s case it has come purely through intelligence, composure and determination, skills that have pulled him out of situations that would have seen most people on a plane back home.<\/p>\n

Rally Raid Canada owner\/ rider\u00a0Don Hatton:\u00a0” I am very excited to be working with Simon, he is one of the most professional and organized guys I have ever worked with, I am looking very forward to be sharing my 3rd Dakar with somone of\u00a0 Simon’s skill level.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Working with Simon and his\u00a0team\u00a0\u00a0only enhances are already very experienced and\u00a0talented Rally Team, my wife Natalie who takes care of all our logistics, and of course Kevan Ibbotson\u00a0our media guru,\u00a0who has worked with us on most of our adventures, including actually driving the support truck in the Baja 1000.<\/p>\n

My bike is in Simons shop as we speak being converted to Rally trim, by his very talented mechanic Evan Davies.<\/p>\n

I think we are as ready for the Dakar as we can be.<\/p>\n
