Just got back from a week in Maroc. Will post my pics later on, but the roads are shocking (not just the condition but the insh'allah maniacs driving). Went everywhere in a Toyota HiLux. More later.

Hi mate, am in the process of going through my pics and uploading them a few at a time. I also have a couple of "road movies" that I'm going to throw onto youTube. In the meantime, here are some snaps:

Tarifa to Marrakech takes 2.5 days, mainly because of the terrible roads in Maroc and the slow frontier. This builds in some time to find accomodation in the light.

It's a big place dude, and not at all like Europe in terms of A to B access.

you can buy a metal bash plate/sump guard for the 11S, I got one (can't remember if it was from Motorworks or Moto-bins)
or buy one from a 1100/1150GS and trim it a bit - it's too high on one side...(I have one of those as well)
