So that rotopax isn't for extending your range in the desert, after all. That's the fuel tank for that fancy turbine. Very clever. Couldn't get that in blue?
Carrot, no apologies necessary. Really.
Truth is, I woke up a few days ago with a sudden case of "wait a minute, I don't have to eat their dust on my lowly DRZ" and had the urge to sneak behind their (2 old dudes) back and get their guy to build me one of them fancy WR450-plated bikes too. Secretly.
