Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
One of the local guys on ADVrider is competing, Ned Suesse #81. He was in 75th place at the end of the stage yesterday, about 10 minutes off the lead...

Was watching the news from my country this morning and they announced this... sad for sure but well each rider goes in knowing the risks. At least he died doing what he loved

Ned is a very nice guy, he makes the Dual Sport Riding Technique videos. dualsportriding.com
I've meet him a few times. Also he is a door price donor for RMAR.
I'm glad to see him moving up the rankings and still in the game, I can not wait to hear his story/s.
Is the rally on TV anytime?
RIP Rider.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.
"Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride."

Ned's currently shown in 56th place, an hour off the lead. RRRRRRRRRrrriiiippin..

Sadly, all we get is a half hour digest on NBC Sports Channel (used to be Universal).

the good news is one of the guys on ADV is uploading the Eurosport HD coverage as mpeg4 files...

I thought about sponsoring him when he asked me, just could not justify the $500 of my wife's money as I don't work. Would of been neat to have "modette" on the side of his bike...people be like WTF does modette mean....LOL
Ned is now up to 49th overall....

Watched the first episode last night. All I have to say is those guys have huge-ass balls! Just watch the bike move around under them in the sand, as they just keep the throttle wide open.

So, 30 min highlights at 11:30 PM on Comcast 73 NBC Sports NW (formally Versus). Kinda lame but beats no coverage.

Apparently, Ned's the only US rider still in it.

Damn! It's amazing how fast a crash can happen at those speeds! Did you see how they were just going through that deep sand/rock with full throttle?
I've been watching a bit and it is really cool watching Coma and Despres. Those guys are not human...
Go Ned Go!
Ned is the sole remaining American in the field.
Go Ned Go!
