DAKAR 2013 ROUTE MAP








































The 2013 Dakar will be unlike any other! Peru, which hosts the start of the rally for the first time, brings its unique geography to bear: competitors will face the first strings of dunes on the second day of the race. For its 5th edition on the American continent, the rally will resume its traditional north-south journey, which will run alongside the coastline of the Pacific this year. The rapid encounter with the Peruvian and the Atacama Deserts will transform the usual level of difficulty, but the stay in Argentina will immediately call upon all the drivers’ and teams’ resources. To reach Santiago, they will ultimately have to face 3 highly intense stages in the middle of the Atacama Desert. The day before the finish, the outcome will remain undecided.

True Champion The Johnny Campbell Story - DVD

I got my DVD in the mail!!! I watched it last night - AWESOME STORY ABOUT A BAJA LEGEND!

Put this DVD in your collection right next to your Dust To Glory DVD!

Order here: store.jcrhonda.com/products/true-champion-dvd

From the JCR site:
The famous Off-Road motorcycle racer shares his life story for the first time.


Johnny Campbell, the iconic dirt biker who has won the prestigious Baja 1000 Off-Road race a record-setting 11 times, is profiled in a feature documentary by Seven Films.

Directed by Ryan Ray and narrated by Troy Adamitis, True Champion is the story of how Johnny Campbell evolved from the typical southern California adolescent roosting around on a dirt bike to a multi-time desert racing champion with world-wide respect. What isn’t typical is the path Campbell faced in becoming a champion: A tragic turning point effectively ending his youth and presenting him with a choice to go “All-In” and chase his dreams to become the winningest racer in the 43 year history of the Baja 1000.

Hear from family, friends, competitors, and fellow champions like Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Johnson about how Campbell takes not only the fast road to victory, but also the high road of faith and integrity in his personal life.

Featuring beautifully brutal, remote deserts and beaches from Nevada to the tip of Baja Mexico, the film illustrates the skill, stamina and courage necessary to pilot a Factory Honda race machine at speeds over 100mph across the desert.

Learn from Johnny and other dirt bike experts what it takes for man and machine to win the longest and toughest desert races on the planet and find out what makes a True Champion.

NATO 20 Liter Jerry Can - SET OF FOUR


























From Deutsche Optik & Military Collectables:
Okay, here’s what’s happening on these Jerry Cans. After your unprecedented demand for these fine containers, we’ve struggled, clawed, and have run up against the wall. The fact is this, there aren’t any more of the small neck 20L cans available as Bundeswehr, Nato, or Swiss Army surplus! All gone. And the prices for even the used, rusty and beat-up ones, have gone crazy, and I’ve decided not to play in that sandbox any longer. Sick of the bullshit and deception that’s being perpetuated. But I’m a stubborn fool, and like a terrier I just cannot let go… So, I went out and found the source, the folks that actually manufacture jerry cans for the various NATO militaries, and ask them to quote me on brand-new, currently made units. Furthermore, I asked if they’d be interested in having us be their distributor in the western hemisphere. Well, we hit the jack-pot. Sort of. They ain’t cheap! Furthermore, transport costs the same for an old, rusty one as a brand-new one. But here’s what you get: brand-new, original, jerry cans made to the highest specs, measuring 468 x 345 x 165 mm, (18.425” x 13.58” x 6.496”), weighing in at 4.3 kg (9.46 lbs). They hold 20 liters (5.28 gal) of liquids. Fully paint-coated inside and outside. Have a full, internal breather pipe for splash-proof pouring, and have a safety cap-locking pin. The regular nozzles fit! In addition, we’ll get replacement gaskets at reasonable prices too. So there you have it. I can’t do any better than this! Of course the price has gone up about a ten-spot, but I warrant they’re worth it.
