IanC, Good luck! I think the long rides must be a bit more pleasant on a Pan-European than on a Transalp! I think any big bike is fairly conspicuous in Morocco, escpecially down the quieter Eastern side where I didn't say any big bikes apart from those belonging to tourists (I didn't really go West much). I did however get the impression that no matter how much I pleaded poverty whilst being sold something 'really useful' (carpets, minerals or fossils generally), they would take one look at my bike and the dollar signs would shine in their eyes. Let me know how you get on. Are you riding through France and Spain? I found I could do Spain in a day, but France was just too long for me, let me know if you can do it (that's a dare by the way!).
Are you going on the pistes on your bike!? Oh and last of all it's really really really hot there now!
