Hi there
my name is Christian, 30years old, from Zurich (CH). (Facebook:

In may I will use the chance and realise a long-planned wish and will take my `91 Africa Twin RD04 in four weeks from Zurich through north and mid Morocco, then head back via ferry from Tanger to Barcelona.
My riding experience (approx. 5 years, 40k km) is mostly based on tarmac (Swiss Alps, Black forest), although as preparation for loose ground I completed several light offroading trainings (+guided tours) in the french Vosges last year.
I am looking forward to leaving tarmac on my trip, but as soon as it gets too rocky or truly off-piste, I have my limitations skill-wise, not at least due to the weight of my Africa Twin.
Btw: In addition to my RD04, I also ride a Guzzi V11 Sport.
Since I am riding solo so far, I would welcome any compagnon on my route, no matter if just for a couple of days or a specific destination of the journey. I will bring a tent and basic camping equip, but within Morocco I plan to only camp 40-60% of the nights due to security concerns (wild dogs etc.). If not camping, I prefer simple hostels or and other basic accomodation.
I would be happy to find a route fellow here, and this is the planned journey from 3.5-17.5, here you find my planned route (Google Maps):

Leaving Sète with GNV on 30.04. 10am, arriving in Melilla/Nador on 2.5. early morning. Within Morocco, I`ll arrive on 2.May in Nador, head to Fes over the motorway and enjoy a good night sleep in a nice Riad, explore Fes and buy a local SIM-Card on 3.May and start into the mountains on 4.May. A rough goal would be to arrive in Marrakech on 13.May, stay for 2-3 days and take the motorway back to Tanger on 16.May, where my ferry to Barcelona leaves at 11pm on 17.May. I am still indecided if I will have the time and feeling to spend the time for a guided sahara tour in Mhamid (2 days).
Looking forward to comments on my route, and any interest in joining a part of it! Attached, you`ll also find a photo of my Honda. (All Wilbers suspension, new Heidenau K60 Scout):
