    Ok, Cyril relinquished 30 minutes to the front runners on todays second stage after running second in the irst stage :S
    Can`t see him reeling that back in now (45mins to the front) especially with Dakar looming at Xmas time (won`t want to risk an injury leading up to that surely) :dry:

    Excuses,,,, What excuses ????? :pinch:

    Cyril cant read the maps (he had months to get copies and learn last years yeah?) Cyril wont push because of the Dakar :P :P

    I am a huge fan of the man OK ;)

    The big Kato 950`s are still motoring well in good position.
    Top 4 asr hammering & it is just about odds on that at least two of them may not be there in a day or two (or so Safari history says) :whistle:

    Cyril is an hour back now (wouldn`t think it the way he was riding in the Chopper vision above)

    Troy O`Connor is back on track on his KTM 530 after his enginr probs yesterday.
    Grabbo has officially thrown in the towel :unsure:

    CPW may have some work to do for next year I think :whistle:

    The Smith boys will be pushing harder than ever for a one, two finish for Mr. Hoffman Snr , who sadly passed away the eve of the event. R.I.P Vale Hoffman
    Apparently when he asked how the boys prologued from his hospital bed, He replied ” Good, Stick it UP `EM” :laugh:

    TB, you know KTM owners can’t think for themselves. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I guess the Eurotrash owners can live in hope the mighty Japanese manufacturers will suffer the same fate of the orange bikes. I say odds on for an all Red and Blue podium.

    Defending a KTM owner? You’ve gone soft TB. :P

    Things are close up front. I think we could see a sprint all the way to the end between Todd Smith and Shane Diener.

    Its more common than reported mate from what I hear, I think the importer isn’t as fast as he could be getting stock or stock out. They have a limited shelf life and are generally ok for normal use, safari isn’t normal use but :laugh: Mousses wont live with heat or high speed running :pinch: I melted one on a ride around the Commission track on a hot sunday, it wasnt new either. If you think penguin is putting brand new mousses in customers bikes things have changed since we went to finke mate :laugh:

    Good on him he is still going ;)

    38 left running, SB is in 32nd according to the below. He needs a bit more of that 156 BB the guy in front of him is 26 mins away and the guy behind is 6 and a half odd mins behind. The international young SAM SUNDERLAND on the 2011 Husaberg FE570 is doing times in the top 10 / 15 as he claws back from a bad start.
