Ohlins, your Morocco trips look awesome. I'm well jealous. That's just the sort of trip I fancy one day.

At the moment I have a trip to the Scottish Highlands and Islands with a mate planned for June, which I'll be doing on the K1300S. I'm back up north in Skye in August for a week, and my plan is to take my recently-purchased XT660R to see how it tours.

I have never, ever ridden off road and am still getting to know my XTR, but "Africa" was one word in my head when I decided to get the bike. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for your reports and, who knows, one day I might get to Morocco myself!
