DAKAR | CRAIG KEYWORTH<br />
And this one’s mine.<br />
We’ve covered my Dakar story in previous<br />
<strong>RUST</strong>s (and in my <strong>RUST</strong> online Blog),<br />
but to briefly summarise my two-year<br />
whirlwind, I’ve so far journeyed twice<br />
through the Sahara on a modified and<br />
meticulously prepared Husky FE450,<br />
arguably the cream of the current big<br />
four-banger crop. We took a bog standard<br />
enduro bike, whipped it into FIM Enduro<br />
Cup fettle and entered it into the 2018<br />
Rally Du Maroc, a round of the FIM Cross-<br />
Country Rallies Championship and almost<br />
podiumed.<br />
Then rebuilt it and did it all again,<br />
returning to the Sahara early 2019 for the<br />
Merzouga Rally and very nearly got on the<br />
podium then too. Always the bridesmaid.<br />
There were a good few occasions where,<br />
flat out and hanging off the back of a very<br />
well sorted 450 enduro bike I was shown<br />
a set of heels by a proper rally bike. We’re<br />
about to find out why.<br />
