Did anyone get a reply to the requests for information ....

No, but I have since been to Merzouga myself so if there are any specific questions I could try to help.

I just wondered if anyone had had a reply, I'm looking at going to Morroco next year, so was on an information gathering operation.

Nothing specific - but thanks for the offer.

.. no gods .. precious few heroes.

I am going in October. Any suggestion as to what gear would be best (I shall be on a Thundercat). Will leathers be too hot? mesh too cold? I have seen a nice Teknic Cordura jacket with zip vents in chest and arms and removable waterproof liner. Only have Sidi Vertebra boots. What do you think?

Chil,cordura jacket and decent leather pants worked for me; it was hot on the desert side of the Atlas, but I wouldn't compromise on the protection. Chances are it will piss down going through the RIF,a wet suit is a must.

Have a nice one.

Chil/all,

As the other poster said above - make sure you take wet weather protection.

I took my old style Fazer 600 (Thundercat engine) to Morocco in April/May 2004 and it was great fun. I had to run it on leaded fuel in some places because of problems sourcing unleaded fuel - no trouble caused though.

I wore leather trousers, Sidi boots, Buffalo leather/cordura mixed jacket. It was fine for me, although a little hot at the dunes at Erg Chebbi.

I also got stuck in a huge snow storm whilst crossing the High Atlas mountains and I had no wet weather protection (I didn't really think I'd need it - I know better now!).

Have a good time and keep an eye out for the small birds that always seemed to swoop towards me as I was riding along :-)

Darkenbad and Simondavis - thanks for the info. I really don't like getting hot, but will take the advice and look for some leather trousers and Cordura jacket. Note taken re wet suit.
