The Our Lady of Victories Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Notre Dame des Victoires) is the name given to the church building that serves as the Catholic cathedral in the city of Dakar, Senegal.
The cathedral, also known as Cathédrale du Souvenir Africain, was consecrated in February 1936.

Deze sleutelhanger is van het Mammoetrallyteam dat niet meer bestaat. Maar Martin van den Brink rijdt nog altijd mee. Inmiddels zit zijn zoon ook achter het stuur en doet hij heel goed mee.
De sleutelhanger heb ik gekregen tijdens een van de Dakar Preprologen. Een evenement dat niet meer bestaat.
Een deelname aan de rally is duur, misschien wel te duur. Geen Nederlandse motoren dit jaar, wel 6 deelnemers in de challenger klasse, ook bij de auto's en de classics 6 deelnemende Nederlandse teams. Bij de trucks een tegenvallende lijst van 8 Nederlandse teams. Dat waren er ooit wel 3x zo veel.
Het avontuur is drie dagen onderweg, ik kan dus nog even genieten.
Ik heb de foto in RAW opgeslagen en bewerkt tot foto.
Achtergrond is een foto van de Abu Dhabi woestijn waar ik in 2019 was.
This key ring belongs to the Mammoetrallyteam that no longer exists. But Martin van den Brink still drives. His son is now also behind the wheel and is doing very well.
I received the key ring during one of the Dakar Preprologues. An event that no longer exists.
Participation in the rally is expensive, perhaps too expensive. No Dutch motorcycles this year, but 6 participants in the challenger class, also 6 Dutch teams participating in the cars and the classics. A disappointing list of 8 Dutch teams for the trucks. There used to be 3x as many.
The adventure is three days underway, so I can still enjoy it for a while.
I saved the photo in RAW and edited it into a photo.
Background is a photo of the Abu Dhabi desert where I was in 2019.

A unique offer, this BMW R80 G/S Paris-Dakar is effectively brand new, with only dealer 'mileage' recorded, and has been autographed by the Belgian World Champion, Gaston Rahier, winner of the Paris-Dakar Rally for BMW in 1984 and 1985.
BMW's first 'R80', the R80/7, was introduced in 1977. Like its R75/7 predecessor, the R80/7 was powered by BMW's traditional air-cooled flat-twin engine coupled to low-maintenance, shaft-drive transmission. Recognising the increasing demand for off-road-styled models, BMW re-entered the ISDT in 1979 as a means of publicising its forthcoming range of enduro roadsters. The first of these, the R80 G/S, was announced in September 1980. Based on the equivalent R80/7 roadster, the G/S featured a 21" front wheel; raised mudguards; a high-level exhaust system; a skid plate under the crankcase; and a single-sided 'monolever' swinging arm. The R80 G/S is historically significant as the first model to use BMW's monolever rear suspension system, in which the driveshaft tunnel also functioned as a single-sided swinging arm, resulting in a lighter construction and making changing the rear wheel easier.
Strikingly finished in white with an orange seat, the stock R80 G/S was too heavy for serious rough stuff but nevertheless excelled as a long-distance tourer, a market sector that its successors dominate to this today. BMW positioned the model as a 'Reise-enduro' (travel enduro): an all-terrain motorcycle with excellent touring capabilities; indeed, the designation G/S stands for Gelände/Straße, meaning off-road/road.
Although the R80 G/S was not intended as a competition motorcycle for enduro racing, modified versions won the arduous Paris-Dakar Rally in 1981, 1983 and 1984, and to cash in on these successes, in 1984 BMW launched the R80 G/S Paris-Dakar model, as seen here. The most striking feature of the Paris-Dakar variant was its enormous 32-litre fuel tank, while other special features included a single seat, a rear luggage grid and 'Paris-Dakar' graphics.
With only 80 kilometres on the odometer, this BMW R80 G/S, despite being nearly 40 years old, is still in factory-fresh condition. It was delivered new in Italy, where the first owner parked it in his living room. (The original documents are on file.) The second owner did the same, and applied a preserving treatment to the exhaust so that it would keep its shine. He too kept the bike as an art object but had it registered. Later, the BMW was sold to Belgium, where it has not yet been registered. It comes with an original (unused) service booklet and a second set of keys. BMW Classic has confirmed that this is an original Paris-Dakar edition (certificate on file). A new battery has been fitted and the vendor advises us that the machine is roadworthy, although, of course, the original tyres will need to be changed before use. A remarkable motorcycle that has spent virtually its entire life displayed as a work of art.

You can tell Dakar is bustling, even from space! Its location means it has beaches on all sides of the city, but that it is boxed in from all sides too. The airport seems to hardly have enough space for the runway. It is a great place and I was welcomed very warmly when I visited, but it is suffering from the effects of climate change with frequent flooding during rainy season.
Un éperon qui s’avance dans l’Atlantique, c’est la presqu’île du Cap et Dakar, ville située la plus à l’ouest de tout le continent africain. Magnifique position géographique pour la sémillante capitale du Sénégal 🇸🇳 Il y fait très bon vivre et on y est bien accueilli, j’ai eu l’occasion de le constater. Elle subit pourtant les effets du changement climatiques avec inondations répétées à la saison des pluies et littoral plus au nord est grignoté par la montée des eaux…

Wrestling is one of the most popular sports in Senegal. People start training from a rather young age. This group was there every evening with the same trainer.
