Don,t know if any of you follow or are interested in the Dakar Rally but Sam Sunderland has won it(today) for the second time in the bike class,gruelling event,nice to have a Briton winning

Used to live with his sister Kelly when I was studying at Bicton. She was always chatting about him racing then. Fairplay to him. Bet that's a tough race

I was impressed with Danilo  Petrucci . Lost his moto GP ride this year with KTM and went strait into the Dakar . Did really well . He got to 13th in the first stage only to be let down by his bike after that . Really nice guy .

Let down by a KTM. Get away.

Back on Lyndon Poskitt, a friend was telling a motorcycling acquaintance about him (LP) going round the world on a (heavily modified) KTM 690.

"Bloody good luck to him." 

In fairness, it actually gave him next to no problems but he has built it and rebuilt it with pretty trick parts and is fastidious on maintenance. Like how Land Rovers are fine if you replace things like gearboxes every 5000 miles.
