I had a fairly madcap idea to ride my bike solo down to Nigeria. I was born in Port Harcourt nearly 50 years ago and as it’s my birthday in June I thought I would go and see the place of my birth 50 years.
I had a few weeks of frantic activity, kind of planning but really just buying more kit to overload the bike with. I have a 1200 GSA.
I set off on the 3rd of May took the ferry down to Santander then blasted down through Spain.
After a fairly uneventful crossing I spent the night in Tetouan, half an hour south of Ceuta. I started the next morning heading for Casablanca, the main road out of Tetouan towards Tangier was fairly interesting, beautiful countryside but major parts of it were under construction and that gave me my first real taste of Moroccan driving. Might is right! If you’re bigger then you can just barge past. That’s all well and good but I’m on a bike. I had a few interesting moments diving into the verges!
