Dakar rider #207

[Mr K]

Ian Myers, GBR.

Would that be Ian from M&S [Motorcycles] in the Toon?
I know he's enterred before, but the fotie looks a bit "passport" on the Dakar site, so I'm not sure...



Reminder to self: Don't buy 2nd hand KTM 525 from M&S.

[iangough]

total respect to anyone fortunate enough to risk their lives and fulfill their passion entering the dakar.

Especially for that 65 yr old guy....

There's hope for us all yet...!!!

I quite agree, I saw day 1 of the rally and my first thoughts were he wouldn't make it but he's still in there....what a top man, my hat goes off to him

According to the site www.dakar.com live tracking thingy; Ian (Myers) has reached Atar.
It shows the other Brits a ways back - although it hasn't been 100% reliable...

Is this the 62 year chap? If so they interviewed at the Bivouwac (sp?). What an unassuming guy.
Top dog in my book. I hope he makes it all the way

Not the same blerk but they both deserve a big drink for their efforts!!

..... and slap my thighs if it ain't Brian Eland in there too ...although he appears to be still in Atar ...Maybe he found a decent boozer or chippie? - I'd be more charitable, but I was emotionaly scarred by being passed 200 yards into every stage on my first "Cambrian" by Brian, despite the fact he was 5 numbers behind me ......

Ian Myers seems like he's almost out of the dunes and heading for Tichit?

Ian Myers would seem to be out
