Sherco TVS Rally Factory team makes steady progress in Dakar 2019 Stage 4

The Dakar “Marathon” Stage 4 posed a multitude of challenges for the Sherco TVS Rally Factory team riders as they rode from the Arequipa highlands to Moquegua. A marathon stage means the riders are completely on their own and receive no support from their crew. The riders began the stage on sand dunes gradually moving to the first fesh fesh surface at Dakar 2019.

See, there are a lot of things to look at, but you are one hell of a person when your eyes are pulled towards beauty on two wheels. This guy here is one such animal who loves two wheels more than "Maa ke hath ka Khana." Not yet fully transformed into a seasoned rider but still, there are many things still "under construction." Akash is a writer, loves writing fiction but here at motorcycle diaries, its all about the world on two wheels.
