Ian- Thanks for the help on the name change' date=' and i didnt realize till just now that you authored that video of Bill! :doh I'm a little slow on the uptake, occasionally
THere has been some confusion at the ports, getting the bikes for some competitors off of the boats and out of customs... Bills bike was not one of them, but all his spares were in a delayed container with some other guy's bikes.... It looks like everything is finally at Mar Del Plata, though (a mere 600kms from the Buenas Aires port)
They picked up the gps and iritrack and other event supplied navigational equipment and were fitting it to the bike all day yestertday, and today at 4:30pm EST (6:30 local time) they are scheduled to go through Scrutineering.
Bike being gone through:

You can see Jonah Street's Yamaha on the far left, and Bill's bike on the right (and Bill! :thumb)
You can always tell Bill's bike by the squared edge gas tank hanging off the left hand side of the bike.
Looks like Bill's bike is the only true Husqvarna in the race. All the other SPeedbrain bikes are the heavily modified RAlly bike versions.
