Morocco in Oct

I've been lurking on this web site for a few months and have caught the travel bug. I’ve managed to get a few weeks off work, the bike is serviced and I have a ferry to Spain booked on the 23th Sept. My plan is to go down through Spain and spend about 10 days (29th – 9th) in Morocco, then meet a friend and get back to London. If anyone is around at this time and fancies meeting up send me an e-mail and we can sort out some details.

Thanks

Rob

Hi there,

Me and my girlfriend are going to morocco too around the same time, we'll be staying there about three weeks.

Our itinery in Morocco is not 100% clear, but we'll be passing Spain on our way there and we'll be giving Spain and Portugal some more attention on our return.

We ride NTV and CBR1000f, so no offroad. But I guess there will be enough to explore in culture and country.

I just posted a question here about the use of CB in Morocco.

Well have fun then and perhaps we'll meet

Hello,

Me and a friend are going there too between mid-october to mid-november. We are looking mostly for offroad riding but some on road is unavoidable! Lets keep in touch.

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.
