ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Finally. Some bloody sand. But where are those dunes..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Running low on water & came across a little cafe. Drank Coke & stocked up on water before heading across a 30 mile dry lakebed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yep, extra litre each should do it... Maybe my favourite bike shot - how's she lookin'? We set off with guzzi engine thrummin' to the tune in our heads, 'Been thru the desert on a horse with no name - it felt good to be outta the rain...' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Getting some sand - can't stop until you get to some hard-pack. Glen on his TDM with wide front knobblies turned into a veritable sand demon. Yeah baby!!! It bucks, it slews, weaves & snakes, but keep the power full on & the rear comes back again... Oh, where's Andy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hiding behind the bushes are we? 'Found you', say's Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 O'kay, bogged down, notice the sand on Andy's seat where it's been spewing out, going... NO...WHERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 O'kay my lovely little baby, let's remove the panniers again before the boy's heave you out! Now, don't get me wrong, I truly did feel sorry for him. A bit of friendly merriment never goes astray though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Great stuff ScuRoo . To be honest I thought you were bullshittin about going to Morocco & would probably end up doing a couple laps of the M25 & a trip over the South Downs - but no you gone & did it. Good on you! Looks like you had a great time & the Quota looked after you well Great choice - & brave one too. I got nothing against GS's - I have a GS80 & it's a very able bike - but you don't HAVE to have one to travel further than Sainsburys! Great pictures & story. Thanks.

ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Love a bit of bullshit Baldini but I try to hit my balls with a straight bat! Anyhow, at sunfall we get stuck out in the desert without anywhere appealing to camp, so as it was a lot cooler riding at night I suggested we keep riding unti we got tired... Mile after mile until eventually we pulled into a walled compound around midnight and a gorgeous nubian girl came out of the darkness & said (in French) we could sleep there, & would we like her to prepare any food? All 3 of us were enjoying our own fantasies & then Andy asked her, 'Do you have any beer'? 'Yes' was her reply... I think we all deeply fell in love immediately. We showered under a dripping faucet but it felt like a power shower to us - clean clothes & then sat with her father who came out & he drank beers with us. Abbas was his name. This is what the compound looked like when we awoke the next morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 The boy's slept here & as they had earlier banned me from sleeping within earshot of 'em 'cos of me snoring, I dossed down in the big tent with dreams of tasting dark flawless skin under her flowing robes...

ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 So, refreshed the morning after the night before... we prepare to set off with the assistance of a bungey or two holding down bloodied & battered panniers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Until 10 miles later or so the boy's needed another couple of emergency adjustments & tied down with a freakin' big tow-rope as the brackets had shat themselves completely on Glens TDM by now. Meanwhile, the big black reliable Ortleib mockingly waited patiently in the barren sun-ravaged moonscape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
