    Fair play to ye lad, keep her lit man. Up here in New York watching on the tele and following your progress on the net.
    Great to see a paddy giving her laldy.
    There’s a bunch of us up here from home routeing for you, we do a bit of rallying often alongside the rallymoto guys, if you feel the need for another roadtrip check out some of the events over here.
    Hopefully when the dust settles youse will get a chance to post up some of the video from your battle with the desert, as the only coverage we get is of the top guys, (yawn).
    Everyone knows the real stories are with the privateers.
    I hope the “sudacream” hold’s out till the end for ye (can only imagine :( )
    Fair play

    Excellent job Philip,
    I have all of our friends and relatives here in the U.S. watching your progress.
    Here is a quote from my friend Dave, an avid Harley rider: “I’m proud of Phillip and I don’t even know him. We’re cheering for him. Thanks for keeping us informed, Tom”
