the next step

still can;t do piccies, so here is the story so far, we are in a little village 10km north of Agadir havin a little RnR and doing some maintainance on the bikes after a hectic few days, we got to Zagora and headed off into the desert off road, the track got really hard and and 60 km into a 130km stretch Bruce had really had enough, heat exhaustion and lack of water havin lost 3 ltrs of water on the bumpy stuff, A family in the middle of nowhere, the only place we saw in the distance took us in and gave us a bed and water, this family did not even want payment for feeding and watering us, I insisted and left them 300 DRMS,about 30 quid, for the kids you understand, look folks we would not have died but we were in the shit, trust me, after a nights rest and plenty of water Bruce was fine and she did the next 7Okm of off road without any probs.
Right; today I,ve straightened Bruces front end up after her 3 Offs in the sand and I am looking for some heat shielding for my side panel cos mine has melted, it was 45 Deg yesterday.


A little thought I had the other night in a hotel after the desert section, I have killed millions of fly,s in my motorcycle riding career, every one of the bastards came back to haunt me, the only relief was in the shower, funnily enough they dissapear at night only to wake us up in the morning,
Hey ho, helmets on and kill the little bastards,

The definition of a happy biker,,,,,,,,,, flys on ya teeth: P nB

Glad to know you are both safe and well. The good news is it sounds as if you have enough stories to last a while so you can come home now. Enjoy the flies. Ciaran very impressed with the blog and photos.

We are following your Blog (Who isn't) great idea by the way.

Even though there arn't any pictures it is still a good read.

Enjoy yourselves (oh yeah you are arn't you)

The-Lovely Wendy sends her love and hope Bruce is okay after a couple of offs - we know she is made of strong stuff.

Keep smiling.
