ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Being low on water we had restricted ourselves to 2 mouthfuls every time we stopped & so when we saw this in the distance we headed for this well. Hoping. Bugger... dry as a mummified camel toe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 By now, we just wanted to get the hell outta the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Being an Aussie, I'd realized at some point earlier on we didn't have enough water - we had no margin for error - if one of us had hurt ourselves & needed someone to stay with them whilst the other went for help - we would have been in a bit of trouble I reckon. As it was the bikes did'nt break down (irreparably) & we did'nt break any bones. Lucky this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Our first sign, pointing the way back to civilization! Ah, the beast! Still looking remarkably clean & fresh looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 So, we came outta the desert to some dusty mud buildings onto a solitary tarmac road & a nice newish petrol station literally 100 metres away. Check out all the stickers of various tours over the years. Shame we did'nt have one of our own to stick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 After tossing down 3 Fanta's followed by 3 Cokes & interspersed with mouthfuls of water we sat bemused as a blue helicopter flew in & landed over the road. About 10 mins later a group of Can-Am riders turned up - 5 mins later 2 bloody great big support vehicles appeared before another larger group of 20 or so Can-Am'ers! How to do the desert in money-no-object style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScuRoo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 She was Spanish, would'nt wanna mess with her - I'd rather have the nubian desert princess. But then again, any women looks good when you've been out in the desert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 So we turned round & headed for Marrakesh where we stayed overnight & next day had a well deserved Hamman 'man-love' body scrub, got a few henna scorpions of an old Berber lady, walked past the restaurant that got bombed later & headed as the crow fly's North.

ScuRoo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Long day's in the saddle up until midnight for last 3 day's & just had to have some of Morocco's best food just one more time, so we pulled into where we had lunch before by Volubilius & they received us with another cracking meal at midnight, shower, bed & with brekky in morning before strapping bloody panniers down again for the race to the ferry.

ScuRoo Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 No broken bones, relaxed & happy with great mates as company, heading back to our non-basic European lives once more. Phew, & to think this was just the shortened version - 'Au revoir Maroc'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 ...I try to hit my balls with a straight bat... Great story ScuRoo! Dunno how many others been following your escapade but I enjoyed it - & it's episodic delivery. Can't quite figure where you ended up - somewhere South of Ouarzazate I guess - did you get around Zagora or Erfoud (Erg Chebbi dunes)? Get your pilot to tell you where you've been! Lovely that you did it on a Guzzi too - & trouble free - I don't know much about the Quota, but mighty impressive - it looks like a pretty well cared for bike - what's it's history? Thanks!

Orson Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Good stuff any special paperwork required for the bike or can you just show up at the ferry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
