All went well!
Quick update for any interested parties: we had no problem at all at the port. The guys at customs had a good laugh, congratulating Tony on swapping his wife for a BMW.... I didn't like to point out that actually he had the injured chap, and I had the BMW! All very easy, not sure how it would have been if the bike owner had not been with us, along with a pair of crutches so it was very obvious that he was injured.
He is now safe and sound back in Germany and we're waiting to hear the verdict on his injury. Fingers crossed it turns out not to be too serious.

If you are have problems in the Chefchaouen area, Dar Scotlandee is definitely the place to head for, Terry and his wife and son are great folks. And probably the highest altitude hotel in town. It's not easy to find, though. Stick 'N35 10.727 W5 16.255' into Google Maps for the location.
The site of the accident looks so simple, but I guess that's what caught you out.
I spent a lot of time in Böblingen, never heard the term 'Schwacko' before. I guess it's not polite?

You're right there Tim - Terry, Suzanne and Liam couldn't have been more helpful - fab people.
Weren't quite as happy with the little scrotes that live nearby and hang around outside though - they'd played with the throttle on the trike so much that it was sticking when we came to leave, then the cable broke yesterday. Tony would normally have been more on the case about checking it, but we were a tad distracted at the time. All good now
That's the downside of travelling by trike and all the attention that it attracts!

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.
