After having fun in the Sand we head towards the High Atlas area. We head to Bikers Home Bikershome Offroad Centre, It's a B&B style home with a free garage to use if you stay. Run by a very funny Dutch guy Peter.
He loved our bikes and offered us good money for all three TTR's and flights home. Was very tempting but we all wanted to carry on with our trip. I believe he has now bought some TTR's and is running tours on them.
Peter orders us some engine oil for all the TTR's and fork seals for one. Also we had to strip the carbs out of one as it somehow managed to take in some sand.
During the night a guy arrives on a highly modified bmw. His friends xt has snapped a chain, Peter sells him a chain and he goes off again into the night.

Bog shower at a Gite.




Peters place.



Crazy BMW thing

Lee split is leg open on the easiest offroad stretch, typical.

We had enough stuff in our firstaid kit to deal with it.

As a TTR owner myself, am very envious. How did you get to Morocco? Drive down through Spain and boat it over??

I was hoping that I could see bigger pics, as the link on them does not work.

Cheers

You're right not all seem to work. Try going straight to the album ...

Yes I went through Spain to Almeria to Nador. On the return I did Melila to Malaga.
TTR is a fantastic bike I really love mine now.

Excellent photos.

Your route looks exactly like something I'd want to do albeit on four wheels rather than 2 (sorry!), by any chance would you have some sort of route guide or map that you've saved of your route so I can see exactly where you been and I might want to use some of the routes you've taken.

Many thanks for sharing!
