Tarmac in the Marocco.

Hi.
Looking forward to start the planning for a trip to Marocco next year, from Junr to september. Yes it will be hot and sunny I know but thats the time I got

The only big question I got is, the XT 660 or my old Moto Guzzi California 2?

I am sure that there will be tarmac for the time I will spend down there, but do I miss out much if I cant use the dirt roads?

I`d live to take my MG but maybe the XT is more up for the task.
Any one been riding an old non offroad bike in Marocco for a longer time?

Hi,

The type of bike depends largely on where you want to ride

I took my '99 CBR600 (does it count as "old"?) three times to Morocco before using an (also old) Africa Twin I bought later on. Enjoyed every trip regardless of bike type.

Two photos below:





One more here

Happy and Safe travels,
Luis Cabrita

Last September I did three weeks around Morocco, down to Fes, Imalchil, Erg Chebbi, Ouarzazate, Tizi'n'test Marrakech, Chefchouen. I had a great time and did it all on tarmac.

Go on the Guzzi

I think you could have a great time in Mk on a bike like a Cali, and of course have a great time getting there across late summer Europe from Sweden.
There are many tracks down south that could be easily done on a gently ridden MG. I would say whatever you can do on a GS12 etc could be done on a Guzzi.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
