Hola Crissallsop
I leave next week, I hope to arrive in Morocco on Wednesday or Thursday.
When you leave for Africa you can stay at my house if you want, I live in the north of Spain, then you can cross Spain in 1 or 2 days to Algeciras where shipping to Morocco is very simple and cheap. and Spain is also very beautiful. This is much cheaper for you than sending the motorcycle to Morocco.
I have a YouTube channel called Ultimo Siroco

but the videos of the trip through africa will take time to come out.
- Are the main coastal roads between Senegal and Ghana paved and passable on a touring bike?
Yes, it is possible to cross Africa along the west coast without doing offroad, the least developed is Guinea Conakry, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Several travelers have confirmed it to me
- Are there long stretches where it may be difficult to find gasoline?
Yes, in Mauritania 400km without gas stations, I have been told
- Is it relatively easy to obtain local bike insurance at border crossings?
I think yes, it is also possible in the main cities, there is insurance for much of the west coast, the same insurance for many countries
- Are any of the borders likely to be a problem for someone traveling on an EU (Irish) passport?
In your place I would try to process some insurance (evisa) online. others en route.
