Don't know if it's been on here before but I watched this over the weekend
Dream racer
A great film about one mans dream to ride the 2010 Dakar, well worth the rental fee.
Good film about the dakar

Re: Good film about the dakar
I went out with him in Oz as part of a group training day for sand riding. He was doing a demo at the start of the day on his 450 twin Aprillia rally bike. He stacked it right in front of us all, smashing the fairing off and breaking 2 ribs. After a bit of a rest he walked up onto the dunes and trained us from there. He's a nice guy and certainly full of the 'get up and get on with it' attitude that I guess you need to attempt the Dakar.
Here's a few photos from the day

Here's a few photos from the day. My old DR a bit bogged. My mate Bill on his 640 ADV helping the Aprilia with a tow start. Check out Christophe helping to push it complete with 2 bust ribs. And then a wrecked boat on Stockton Beach. Great day out
