Did anyone get a reply to the requests for information ....

[Wheelspin]

No, but I have since been to Merzouga myself so if there are any specific questions I could try to help.

[XRM]

I just wondered if anyone had had a reply, I'm looking at going to Morroco next year, so was on an information gathering operation.

Nothing specific - but thanks for the offer.

I am going in October. Any suggestion as to what gear would be best (I shall be on a Thundercat). Will leathers be too hot? mesh too cold? I have seen a nice Teknic Cordura jacket with zip vents in chest and arms and removable waterproof liner. Only have Sidi Vertebra boots. What do you think?

[Darkenbad]

Chil,cordura jacket and decent leather pants worked for me; it was hot on the desert side of the Atlas, but I wouldn't compromise on the protection. Chances are it will piss down going through the RIF,a wet suit is a must.

Have a nice one.

Chil/all,

As the other poster said above - make sure you take wet weather protection.

I took my old style Fazer 600 (Thundercat engine) to Morocco in April/May 2004 and it was great fun. I had to run it on leaded fuel in some places because of problems sourcing unleaded fuel - no trouble caused though.

I wore leather trousers, Sidi boots, Buffalo leather/cordura mixed jacket. It was fine for me, although a little hot at the dunes at Erg Chebbi.

I also got stuck in a huge snow storm whilst crossing the High Atlas mountains and I had no wet weather protection (I didn't really think I'd need it - I know better now!).

Have a good time and keep an eye out for the small birds that always seemed to swoop towards me as I was riding along :-)

Darkenbad and Simondavis - thanks for the info. I really don't like getting hot, but will take the advice and look for some leather trousers and Cordura jacket. Note taken re wet suit.
