Hi Tremens - It was the Heroes-Legend rally in 2009, that followed the original route to Dakar through western Africa...
There was a brief thread about the campaign here on the HUBB, with links towards the end of that thread to the more detailed build story and event report on ADVrider and XT660.com
The bike was excellent throughout (the photo above is in the dunes in Mauritania), no mechanical issues at all. The support plate for my GPS broke half way though the second week, and the original Touratech road-book crapped-out on me, but I had a spare mounting plate and replaced the road-book with an MD one from my assistance crew.
Oh, and one night the refuel crew filled my bike with helicopter fuel rather than petrol. That was a fun hour or so stripping the tank off to empty it out.
Happy days...
If you're interested, do take a look at the links at the end of page two of that thread - the photos etc. still ought to be live on those respective sites.
