Am taking the "Bird" to Morocco in April for a couple of three weeks . If anyone has done this trip before would be intrested in hearing about any roads / hotels that you remember as being

Likewise if anyone is thinking of having a "go" would be more then happy to swap info when i get back .
Just to let you know Speedferries knocked shed loads off our return tickets ( some sort of deal going on ) Paid Â£28 return

Chris,

I'll dig out the info but a friend and I did 3 weeks last year on Africa Twins, I know you won't be interested in the desert sections we covered but we had plenty of great tarmac, amazing people and a bloody good laugh.

Head South as soon as pos, cross at Algeciras not Tangia if you can, a lot less hassle, though haggle down your insurance at the boarder.

I'll PM the details soon.

Well here goes :cry)

made it as far as the pyrenees and my mates Bmw s steering locked on whilst going round a slow bend and threw him off , nearly taking me with him :oops)

The steering lock assembly came out of the yoke? locking the bars to the right and he dropped bike onto his hand :bigcry:

bike suffered a broken rear indicator but he went by Sappeur ambulance back down mountain with me trying to keep up and to hospital . Several stiches later and a ton of iodine , we went back to bike , Sappeurs lifted it into ambulance :wink)

and took us to hotel . Stayed for two days to let swelling go down , then cut fingers off my spare gloves :bigcry:

so they would fit his hand and we went home

Nice hospital , very attractive nurses and the view from where he crashed was ace !!
Next year we might make it to Spain .
