Well,Im 53 and still race MX (vintage) and dirt track (vintage). On Harleys no less!!!!! Okay,okay so theyre Italian HDs If you go to dirt track races or the drag strip,you'll see plenty of harleys being raced. And I think youd be surprised at how many HD riders ride their bikes often and hard (i think more than 5%). We dont usually abuse them and try to keep them clean and maintained,but Im not sure thats a bad thing.
 
Any body with the guts,determination and persistence to put together a viable DAKAR effort is worthy of admiration. To do it as a sidecar monkey---thats over the top! To me, the Harley aspect is strictly a sidebar....the neat thing is the sidecar aspect. Good luck to them!!
