Help in Agadir!!
Hi out there.
I am in Agadir and the bike is dead. The coil of my R100 G/S (1988) is totally gone. I came from Ouarzazate with only one cilyinder working. I asked the coil from Motorworks in UK, but I´d like to know if someone knows a mechanic in Agadir.
You can also write to miquelsilvestre (at) hotmail.com
Thanks.

Hi,
Have you contacted Pete at the Bikershome in Ouarzazate?
He's a great guy and will have plenty of ideas/contacts/solutions i'm sure.
I'm sure i can find his number somewhere if you want it

I was at Bikerhome yesterday; Peter was out in the desert. There was a good English guy, Nigel, who helped a lot. We tried fixing the coil with silicon but it didn´t work. A local guy is trying to find a coil. The one from UK is arriving in 3 days. I wish I didn´t burnt the engine on the way to Agadir. A hurricane blown and was really hard to ride with half engine.
Thanks for answering.

No worries. I hope you can sort it soon.
I was with Pete and Nigel about 3 weeks ago, both great guys. Has Nigel got his bike back together yet?
The weather has been rather 'interesting' hasn't it!! I got sunburnt, was in multiple sandstorms, had rain so hard i had to stop the car, had 2 major lightning storms......and that was only one week of the 5 i was out there!!!

Yes, Nigel has his Aprilia ready to leave. The weather was terrible all the way. Just two dishes: hard ran or hard wind. Now is better in Agadir, lightly windy but too much concrete over here. I´d rather going to the desert but my bike doesn´t want to go. If I can fix it I will post here all the info about the mechanics. Take care.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
