Hi from London on the road to Morocco
 
Hi Guys,

I have been a very long time unregistered reader (10 years plus :innocent:) of this fine forum but never registered as I never had anything to contribute. I simply enjoyed everyone else's journey! Not much has changed..... except the registered bit :rofl:

As an Aussie stranded in London, I am breaking free for a few months by heading to Morocco to reacquaint myself with camping and wide open spaces. Maybe some warmth too???? If anyone is about in Morocco, let me know and help me find a beer

I'm heading out on a Yamaha XT660R armed with Chris Scott's guide to crash test the bike. doh

While I'm riding a Yamaha this time, don't expect me to enter a brand war... the F650GS (single) is staying in the garage, I have a Ducati marooned in Austria and a Dommie waiting patiently for my return in Oz.

Anyway, thanks all for providing/contributing t a fantastic site with a wealth of information that has inspired me over the years - ride on! :scooter:

Cheers,
Dale

Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time Dale:scooter:
Just a thought for you, Morocco is a Muslim country- if you need a beer do remember to respect local customs :thumbup1:

Welcome to the HUBB!!!Marocco is awesome...:welcome:

Thanks
 
Thanks for the :welcome: Guys.

Bertrand, no problem with the local customs. I do try not to be an ignorant traveller, but I certainly can't claim to be perfect on that front. However, I am aware that there are two local breweries and it would be a shame not to sample some of the local produce while not causing a scene bier

Now, back to packing and panicking about being under-prepared doh

I do hope you don't feel I suggested anything derogatory Dale! it is just that I have seen (sadly) too many bikers boozing openly in public to the 'plastered' stage and have observed local reaction... which is sad.
IMHO, Morocco will end up 'spoilt' as a destination one day because of this and other lack of consideration as well as wreckless biking and 4x4 behaviour :frown:
Have a safe journey and a fabulous time- Enjoy the camel and prunes tagines too !

Bertrand - no offence taken and I welcome the comment as that is what I hoped to find on this resource.... meaning tips and knowledge being shared with fellow travellers from time to time.
