Anything will do from a Honda C90 to a Hog. My first trip to Morocco in 1972 was on a cafe racer TriBSA 750 with clip ons and rear sets. National roads are extremely good (normally) and great for a bike. The coastal motorway from Kenitra past Rabat to Casablanca is boring, I would suggest going via Meknes, Azrou, Beni Mellal and Marrakech. The area to the south east of Agadir around Tafroute is brilliant. For more info see my knowledgebase at http://www.gsclubuk.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2896

I would definately reccomend the Tizi-n-test pass. it is marked on the michelin map as difficult or dangerous road but thats a bit out of date, as long as it is clear of snow it's fine and well spectacular.

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.
