Ok I want to do the Amageza in 2015 but now what next. I have the bike I am going to use (standard CRF450X ) but the requirements seem to be a mountain. I would like your wise assistance to compile a list of A) what we have to have and B) what is nice to have. I will update this first post with what is suggested. Please not I said WISE assistance.  :deal: I would like the result to be a comprehensive check list for the Amageza competitor (from a tooth brush to the bike). Lets leave nothing out.
