Definitely an adventure but if central control is gone I'd be wary at least. Six years ago en route from Koundara to Conakry (can't remember exactly where) at a random village a tree had been chopped and laid on the road where upon the bush taxi driver (I wasn't on a bike) had to pay to have the locals move the tree to allow us pass. Two of them had guns, rickety old shot guns and though not remotely aggressive it was clear that we weren't getting past until the driver paid. It was obvious from the driver's reaction that this was not a usual interruption. If that could happen in stable times (as stable as Guinea gets) I'd be at least cautious about the oppuortunistic mindset that may exist in a more anarchaic set up. Not saying I wouldn't go, just gving an insight.
