  1. Wait until you try a bike with heated seat. BMW lent me a k1600 once, the bastards!
  2. I’m saving bandwidth, and not writing, but maybe the not writing is a good thing
  3. Can’t see what good screaming would do, but whatever gets you pumped up!
  4. It’s going to be a kickass ride report!
  5. Made it to Tata in time for a day time beer! All rolling roads and made some progress.
  6. That’s the thing, you get scared and you crawl along and then you burn your clutch / front digs in and spits you out / no momentum means not in control in sand. So you ride like you’re not worried about crashing so that you don’t. I was, though!
  7. 52 miles in 3c to go to work! I envy your commitment to motorcycling!
  8. Is that the guy that’s been trying to sabotage your bikes since? Maybe either complain to husband or just accept to pay in ass, it’s not worth your life!
  9. Two more pictures, my report will have around 450 pictures once I get proper upload speeds and time.
  10. Also some tracks are tracks, but some proper roads used daily to get to places are not surfaced or with such neglected surface that you wish they weren’t. So just get a michelin map if you ever comethis way and I’ll point you to where you want to go. Or read my report and I’ll post town names. Forget about proper gps and turn by turn navigation unless for cities and finding hotels. Don’t spread it around though, from what I’ve seen my favourite parts are mostly ignored by Morocco travellers in other forums, and it’s good that way Today I ended up not leaving Merzouga afterall, and spent the morning riding around, I’m quite happy at having ridden through oueds with fesh fesh and soft sand and not even having had to stop or use the clutch except to change gears. I’m feeling like Stephane Peterhansel on my dusty boots. Also rode next to camels, had birds come rest on my bike, and was invited for tea by some miners up in a hill. The GS is great for this afterall, and I enjoyed ridingthrough stuff I wasn’t able before. Two picture upload, that’s taken fore
  11. They just make sense when you want to get from town to town, I don’t know. I use google maps like I would a paper map with a lot of definition, but if you want a safer way buy Chris Scott’s book, I looked over it the other way and some of the routes he recommends are roads that just make sense if you look at the Michelin map and choose the less fast and more twisty scenic roads.
  12. I was conned, done dirty, bamboozled!
  13. That’s quite a good thing to remember.
  14. On soft sand it’ll stand by itself unless it’s windy.
  15. It’s pretty obvious in this picture Pete
  16. No, i did have a piss there but in the middle of nowhere looking at the horizon. But not against the wind!
  17. Here’s another one Not posting more fotos, this just took minutes to upload and I’m not climbing the dune to get more signal. It’s freezing now so will have hot mint tea.
  18. A shared sleeping bag makes sense in that situation. And other situations too
  19. I agree, although am a bit disapointed that nobody noticed something that I love in some of the more sandy pictures.
  20. I will elaborate further on the report, but I am both happy at the riding I did today, and not doing that tomorrow with my luggage. So even though today was a win, and it felt amazing riding a few sections of soft sand with no major issues, I will be saving my luggage and taking the tarmac tomorrow. I am also now friends with Ibrahim, the guy making the road that’s going to replace this piste in the future. And I also got an expensive urge, that I will not speak off until it happens, hopefully it’ll disappear by itself.
  21. Will just leave this here because this afternoon it’ll be a pain to upload pictures. Today I’m busy being being fucking awesome and riding on the same piste I was worried about yesterday. No luggage and a little less fuel make all the difference!
  22. It’s all good on road, I meant look at the tracks offroad between them, it’s less than half the distance going through Ramlia for example. That’s what I’ll see about doing.
  23. Also I don’t want a guide. Those guys know their stuff but I’d rather take the tarmac than following a moped that doesn’t get stuck but is also too slow for my bike to cope. Won’t do 100km in second gear
