Hey,

I was bit by the motorcycle adventure bug during this year's motorcycle trip to the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Therefore I have decided to take three months off work next year, the two first months by myself on my 1999 Suzuki DR650, and the last month together with my girlfriend, she will be riding on her 2008 Yamaha WR250R.

The plan, as of now, is for me to leave Norway in the begin or middle of May 2020, and go straight to Morocco as fast as I can (I'm guessing at 4-9 days, 3600-3700 km/2240-2300 miles to the port of Algeciras). Then I want to spend about a month in Morocco, before I head up to Spain and/or Portugal, for some offroading there for as long as I can. Then I will head north to Denmark, but hopefully at a slower pace on more interesting roads/tracks, to meet up with my girlfriend. From there we will go through Germany, Poland, (maybe) Ukraine, Belarus, (Kaliningrad???), Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, before we take the boat to Sweden and ride back home to Norway. We plan to do as much of this on the TET, and will prioritize the Baltics and Belarus if we will be pressed for time.

So, why I'm writing this post, is because I would like some feedback on some different aspects of the trip:

- To start at the end, the trip from Denmark through Eastern Europe: on the TET webpage the route we have planned, if following the exact TET route from Denmark all the way through to Estonia, should be 5457 km/3390 miles, plus 500 kms/310 miles from Stockholm back home. The TET is estimated to take 23-29 days, and from Stockholm and home we better have 1-1,5 days. For those who are more experienced than us, or who might have done parts of or the entire TET route we have planned, how feasible is this route to do in one months time?

- For my trip to Morocco, I have put up a route, which I would like some input on. I am not sure if it's doable or not in a month, and I'm also getting a bit "lost" in the High Atlas when I'm looking at all the exciting routes to take there. I've bought and read Chris Scott's Morocco Overland, and I've been using this book in the planning so far (I'm using the route names he's using in the book, with an r behind where I'm doing the routes backwards to how they're listed in the book). This might be a real messy post, but I hope you can bare with me.. Here's the route, as fas as I've come:
Tanger->N2 to Chefchaouen->N2 to Ketama->R505 to Taounate-el-Kchour->N8 to El-Khemis-de-Zrizar->R510 to Tahar-Souk->P5413 to El-Gouzat->R508 to Taza->N6 to Guercif->ME1 Missour to Beni Tajite->ME7 to Aoufous->MS11 to Merzouga->MS6 to Tagounite-> MS7r or MS77 to Foum Zguid->MA12 to Assaragh-> MA12 to Taliouine->MA4 to Guelmim or Fask->MW4 or MW5 to Assa or Aouinet Lahna->MW2r to Msied->MW7 to Smara->R101 to Tan-Tan->MW8r Sidi Ifni->R104 to Tiznit->R104(?) to Ousemlal->MA14r to Igherm->R106 to Taliouine->MH8 to Aguim->N9 to Ouarzazate->MH12r to Demnate->MH17 to Azilal->MH16 to where it meets MH18, then follow MH18 to a little before Aït Bouguemaze->MH19 to Boumalne Dadès->MH10+MH5 to Alnif->R113 + N10 to Tinerhir->MH2 to Imilchil...
This is as far as I've come, and I'm sure I'll have to skip quite a bit, and I'll also have to get back to Tanger for the ferry. Sorry this is so detailed, I'm not familiar with the different areas and don't know how to explain the trip in an easier way Anyway, if somebody would be so kind as to take a look, I'll be very grateful.

- When I get back to Spain, I would like to do a couple of weeks on the TET in Spain and/or Portugal, but I'm not sure I'd have the time. Should I rather spend a bit more time in Morocco, and then head for Denmark, or could I fit in some offroading in the south of Europe before I head north?

- Finally, I would really appreciate some input regarding tyres. I do think the Mitas E07 could be a good choice, and they would hopefully last the entire trip (?), but I'm not sure how they would hold up in the more sandy areas of Morocco? Is it an idea to ride with E07 down to Morocco, change to a set of knobbies (ie. Mitas E09) when I'm there, and then change back to the E07s when I head back north?

- And then finally, is it too hot in some areas of Morocco in the middle of May-June?

Sorry for such a long and messy post, I'm very excited about this trip and have too many thoughts and ideas I'd like to discuss, so it's hard to keep it well structured
