wishing you and your mate a safe and enjoyable trip. As others have said, you chose the right bike. (And it’s a lot more accessible than South America!)

We meet up on a M,way for awhile before going separate ways..
Come too Morroco soon as will soon be all Dual carriageway,s
And well paved roads,there even building a M,way style bridge in the middle off nowhere we passed.
The road rebuilding is going on everywhere..

Picture...
The trip has ended abruptly...
Basically I have a blood hemorrhage on the brain
And fractured vertebrae,
All from lifting the bike the correct way with your back too it,..went too take a picture bike fell over..
Yes I did unload the luggage..
Back cracked or banged,I fell too my hands and knees unable too move,other ppl picked it up,I was on the N1 Laayoune bound.
Got just outside, stopped by a police check and realised I was shaking with pain.they got me off the bike and called an ambulance..
Been in there ever since...Tuesday 21st..morning time.
I have another brain scan tonight (Wednesday)too make sure I am fit too be repatriated by plane too a UK hospital..
The Morrocan ppl are soo kind too me,getting me food/water,and top up on the phone..this one does not feed or water u..your parents/siblings do..don't know if its the same elsewhere..
I CANT REITERATE ENOUGH HOW MUCH YOU NEED A GOOD INSURANCE PROVIDER..even if it is expensive as it is in my case but glad I did get all the bells and whistles..
Apparently they will fly the bike home too...
Home Thursday hopefully.
You loose all dignity,when your in a mixed ward with ppl wandering in day and night and past wanting a pee.
Evian type bottle,two blokes under your arm too lift you up
Relax...and try..it will come out eventually...lol...

Blimey, get well soon mate, and hope it all pans out re the repatriation for both you and the bike.
Bloody hell Mike, that wasn't on the cards. Hope you get well soon.
How are you getting the bike back??

Hope all goes well. Sorry you had such a shitty experience but hoorah for expensive insurance.

Very sorry to hear of such an un-wished end to your trip. What a pity!
Hope you will get safely back to UK soon and glad the Moroccan kindness and hospitality is coming good.

That's a cheap end to a trip, very sorry to read that. Sound's like you've been getting the right help from the start and have decent insurance. I know the odd person who reckons they are big enough not to bother with it but nobody is.
Hope the scan is good and a decent trip home.
