Michelin Desert and mousses ready for fitting to bike

Seriously considering a W.E.R steering damper from CORE racing like Mick Extances XR650R I saw at the Dirt Bike Show. costs around £280 ouch! this is because footage of Libya on DVD makes me realise there will be alot of fast sections, and my wobble sets in at around 50 mph (not much!), waiting for more info from CORE.  www.coreuk.co.uk

Several sections have changed out of the original rally route and now the prologue is a 3 km circuit of an airstrip. a big dune crossing has been reduced due to safety concerns. and mandatory 1/2 hr stops included at scenic places for all competitors!

Still cant decide wether to take spare tyres (already have last years desert and mousees on) are the mousses too old?

all for now. K
