Thanks for your replies. I will check out the Gandini book and post an update with my trip planning towards the end of summer. I am not planning on heading down until Oct at the earliest.

You may have read this already.....

I'm toying with the idea of visiting Tunisia on my Honda ST1100 (PanEuropean) between now and the end of May. I've visited Tunisia before (Tozeur - very pleasant - I flew my own aircraft in and out of there), and have lived and worked in Algeria (not much fun). I speak French.

The ST1100 is a pretty large and heavy motorcycle, only suited for operation on paved surfaces. What road conditions could be expected along a circle route Tunis - Tozeur - Gabes - then up the east coast to Tunis? Would that be a pleasant trip (so far as road condition is concerned), or do I have the wrong kind of motorcycle?

I wish you would have PMed me, i think i would've replied sooner. sorry!! The roads for a bike that big are just fine. If you have time to dip a bit further south towards tattooine the curvy desert mountains roads are beautiful. As well as the central route north, passing from Sbeitla via Makthar, then on to Tunis. It's round about, but good fun.
