Just got back from my first ever Marocco trip. Absolutely the best motorcycle experience in my life so far. This is why I love all-road riding: leave the tarmac and ride the map where it says there are no roads! Cut the engine and listen to .... no sounds at all, just the wind blowing... Superb!
A few piccies:
Me, John Doe, loyal husband and father of two young children, would not dare to undertake such a trip without support/permission of my wife (yes I'm a sissy) joined a trip organised by a few experienced guys (Arjan Brouwer; 7 time Dakar contendor), with the support of a complete service truck (!).
We did some parts of the Tuareg road book, topping a 200km unpaved on a day (+200km on tarmac), not always easy to ride (rocks and boulders, small dunes). Actually the service truck is now on its way to Holland where it will drop off the bikes and luggage, only to load up and return to Marocco for the Tuareg rally!
Discovered that the bike, and I, can do more then I knew! Knowing that a detour will be 100km, makes it easier to cross that obstacle
All together: a great experience!
