We are a group of three riders now and have decided this is just the right number for a trip like this. Feel free to post further on this thread to look for travel partners. We might meet along the road.

Morocco from Spain by mid February

Hi Demito... I would like to get in touch with you to exchange info.. I'll be crossing from Spain to Morocco on a GS1150Adv (currently in Madrid) but apparently I'll have to do it before the 17th (february) since the permit for the bike expires by that date.. (the bike was shipped to Europe after a north to south southamerican crossing by the central Amazonia region)
Plan to ride for 2/3 weeks aprox. and then back to Spain no particular routes yet and willing to connect with others traveling in that area by that time

(tried to mail you but for some reason doesn't let me..) ( drop me a line.. )thanks Fabio.

Sorry Diablo, but myself and Demito have finalised our plans for the trip now - we've decided on the first three weeks of april. Ferry tickets are booked, and we're pretty well advanced in the trip planning now.
We've decided that the 3 riders in our group are pretty well matched and 3 riders is the ideal size of group for this sort of trip.

I'm flying UK to Malaga on 31March and back on 15April. My Suzuki DRZ400 is parked 20 minutes from Malaga airport. I'll either go Algeceiras-Ceuta or Malaga-Melilla. I plan to hit the hills and desert a.s.a.p. As many dirt roads as possible. Will either camp or stay in cheap hotels and avoid all cities.

I was there Christmas/ NewYear 2005 ( http://www.thebrightstuff.com/morocco2005overview.htm ), but the bike couldn't handle it.

If you're doing something similar, maybe drop me a PM or email (also via my website) or leave a message here.
Ride safely,
ChrisB

I would like to travel with 1 or 2 other riders (no large groups), preferably with a big GS as well. I have a well equipped 1150GSA that I am currently preparing for the trip (Touratech has long delivery times )

purpose: get off the "goudron" as fast as possible. Mix of technical piste and "easy" 80 mph gravel roads. I travel light (minimal packing) and the main purpose is to ride and to enjoy the view, not to visit all tourist attractions nor to lay on the beach for three weeks.

I have a no nonsense attitude and an open mind. I am pretty easy and tolerant. Nevertheless I refuse to take people that:
-refuse to ride before they have polished out that scratch in their tank
-neurotically start to look for a laundry shop whenever they spot a stain on their gear
-refuse to ride before they have had their favourite cereals (honey pops, smacks, krispies, whatever)
-want to go home after their first off
-refuse to ride before they have checked every little detail on the bike, leaving others waiting for 45 minutes
-refuse to ride when it's too cold, too hot, too rainy, too dry
-have no sense of humor and take everything way too serious
-...

I hope the non limitative list indicates more or less what kind of travel partner I am after

If you're interested in this kind of trip, let me know asap.

Cheers

Demito
