Rémy Lambert and myself in 1998
We are a few freaks, all riding a HONDA XR 400, a great bike for
Off-roading, especially in the swiss mountains. This is an image taken at the
"Croisière Blanche 1998". This is a 3 day rally in the french alps, precisely
at Orcières. It has also the nickname "The Dakkar of the snow"....
Great even for beginners! All you need are spikes and a bike that is not too
heavy.
You sleep every night at the same hotel
and you're assisted by a great
organisation with technical and medical assistance. The only thing: if you want to
participate you will have to have spikes... You like it? So did we. That's
why we came back in 2000!!
And in 2002..It was even better.
Lots of fun more than 80 quads on the start and more than 80 motorcycles. Thanks
to Marc Deforel for his great support and thanks to my XR which let me climb up
anywhere.
