You never know, maybe your info can help. I am trying to think of more details about him and the rig. The samurai was not a shiny, flashy zuk, but a scratch and dent kind. I remember his air cleaner sticking out of the hood a little bit, possibly a pony carb. He also had a really huge military whip antenna off the back. I don't think it was functional, but it fit the look. As far as the guy, I am sure his name is Mark, as stated above, and he is a fairly tall man, with dark hair. Wow, this is starting to sound like a personal ad. Anyway the guy was a story teller and alot of fun on the trail, Canadian humor. We met him out there in 2001, and then again in 2002, were unable to find him out there last year. Thanks everyone for you help. Jeff
