Vive Le Dakar! 1981 GS 800 recreated at Deux Ex Machina

Lucky me, got to visit deus ex machina in Venice, CA...my Dakar radar led me straight to this amazing recreation of Hubert Auriol's 1981 BMW GS 800 that he rode to first place in the 1981 Dakar.
That card on the seat said 'sold'.  No price was listed.



The original looked like this according to the website dakardantan.com- check it out for amazing photos/history and route maps of
Dakar history when it was still in Africa.  That's Hubert Auriol on far left, pretty sure. He's the organizer of the Heroes Legend!
