Betas might seem budget because they’re cheaper than Huskys and KTMs and TMs and Hondas but they sell like hotcakes here and have been used to win several national championships all around Europe, using basically stock bikes with some prep. They’re serious bikes!

I absolutely would!

Made it home instead of stopping overnight somewhere. It rained most of the day. Pretty hard day, too. Bike is less dirty than yesterday, and yesterday less dirty than the day before, seems like it’s cleaning itself!

Looks ok from up close, Bob Tarifa now, feeling very nostalgic and thinking about the previous time I left Morocco against my will. Forecasts are storms all over, so will have a piss and put all the plastic stuff on, and go sleep in Portugal tonight. Rock on storms!

The diff is isolated from there. However, it would need a proper clean, mainly the shaft knuckles. The Mediterranean is upset today, people are throwing up already, but two guys are praying really hard so as long as Allah still covers international waters we’re ok.

It’s the rubber boot that seals the shaft inside. It’s looking weird in fact, I’ll check it when off the boat. It looks like a cloth because of the desert dust stuck to it.

Looks like @Saul used it twice for his commute Now on the ferry, for what looks like quite a choppy ride to Spain. The guy tightening the bike down laughed and said I will definitely feel it I pray to any saint for no rain on the other side.

It was heavy rain through the hills in muddy roads, good stuff really, but would have prefered to stay dry. Now waiting in Tangier for a sandwich that’s taking forever and the ferry at 3. Was thinking of staying overnight somewhere near after but don’t really feel like more of the same rain in the morning. So will probably crack on. Bike is running great even though it lookslikeit was found in thebottom of a river bank.

Tanger now, plastic overalls aren’t really waterproof anymore. Tired of riding with shit gear in winter.

I’m writing a book about it in the form of a ride report I currently don’t think northern moroccan cities are nice places, though

You know how annoying it is when you close your jacket, helmet on, gloves on and then you realise that the bike keys are still in your pocket? It’s worse when they’re still in your pocket, but on the jeans that are inside your closed luggage! Been meaning to complain about myself doing this for a few days now

Sorry to hear all that, @busabeast!

Yesterday was fun. Today it was freezing cold in the morning, came to Fes but didn’t have a nice time here. Plan is to get to Spain tomorrow, don’t know where I ‘ll sleep though. Also expecting to get a lot of rain between here and home

That’s cool!

How about we do a competition to use proper motorway exits instead of gravel traps?

Dogs don’t check google.

Turns out there was a Spanish family watching the football when I proclaimed: vai, filho da puta! After their legend of a player scored the last penalty They look at me funny now

it was a lovely dish when it arrived, now there’s just the 4 olivepits in it.

What are you talking about? She’s lovely!

That white stuff on the picture was right near where I was going through, and wasn’t there a few days ago! I which I had a heated seat

I got a great video of the first few seconds after they scored their first goal after having saved the previous penalty kick. These guys are insane for football and I look forward to watching the Portugal match with them. It’s a shame I won’t be here for the Portugal vs Morocco, assuming we win today.
