Merlings.... Are there any write-ups on the site of the previous Maroc trips?

Me and another member giving it a bit of thought, but some light reading would help!

Hi Stevie
Don't think there are any ride reports for our Moroc trips, have a look at www.trailridingrhayader.co.uk for more info.

What sort of bikes would be suitable for this trip? 1150 Adv too big/heavy?

I'd say so.. He won't get 6 of them in his van

I think this is a Pogo trip Mike. The ADV will be too big/heavy.

 

[Wreford Miles]

is it a KTM 500 EXC with a 15 lt tank type trip?

 

[PDiddy]

Very tempted -

 

[Losttheplot]

Sounds good to me

Will you run this over Easter?

 

[Wreford Miles]

if its suitable for my KTM, I'll be very keen.

I'm quite happy doing the mileage on it I assume it will need an oil change every 3 days - It does not get that stressed with me on it

You need to watch Motonomad https://youtu.be/yhWR5jjGzfM 7000KM and only 2 oil changes -

Sun, sand and mint tea.

A few years ago I did around 3,500 miles in Morocco on my KTM 450 Exc (about 3,000 stood up) with one oil change in the middle and the oil was in good condition then. Put good quality oil in, take enough for a change plus 1 ltr top up should be fine.

No words but pictures from 2014. Not got many pictures from 2015 for some reason...

Great pics from a great trip,

Steve was on a 525 with a big tank and was fine for fuel

 

[david a hall]

is it a KTM 500 EXC with a 15 lt tank type trip?

Perfect.

I think this is a Pogo trip Mike. The ADV will be too big/heavy.

Not strictly a pogo trip Paul, although we did have a DRZ which coped very well last year.
Wreford's 500 will be fine, I'd say mid size trail bikes are perfect.

If Mark advertised this as a pogo trip we'd be inundated with chavs on 450 ktms who'd want to ride at enduro pace all day and see nothing
