Party - Dakar 5t:yle
Red Bull KTM team boss Scot Harden held a party at his palatial estate (the Bivouac
de Harden) in Menifee, California, last week to celebrate the team's accomplishments
in this year's Dakar Rally.
The party was well attended, with guests that included the likes of legend Malcolm
Smith (shown here with team co-manager Joe Barker and KTM tech man Tom Moen)
and former Dakar top guns Danny laPorte and Jimmy Lewis.
Harden had the team's bikes on display, and riders Kellon Walch and Chris Blais
were also on hand, with Walch on crutches after recently suffering a broken femur in
a practice crash prior to the San Felipe 2S0.
