Morocco with an old XT6 in Bike magazine
 

Haven't actually seen a copy but I'm told a story on Morocco with an old XT6 wins the best reader's yarn in the August Bike magazine travel supplement.
Perhaps the guy used this forum?
More about it here.

it's a bit confusing Chris- following your link-

"In fact he made it to Askaoun and down the road to Taliouine without problems which just goes to show you can manage without GPS if you have a bit of navigating nous."

as it looks like there is one in his cockpit!

"He then takes on MA7 over the Issil Plain and up onto Jebel Timouka – one of the best- but also the roughest tracks in that area, as he finds out on his hard-sprung XT."

and shows a picture of what seems to be a BMW 800 GS?

or am I seeing things??? too much couscous IMHO !
Looks like you have uploaded the wrong pic!

Its a good article actually. Lost in desert, run out of water etc.
