Ouarzazate, Morocco - 3 day quickie

[Harv]

Anyone suggest or recommend a hire company in this area for some big 'cc' trailies on a short term hire?
Going to miss a grand tour a couple of mates are doing but would like to fly in, rent a couple of bikes, have a couple of days with them just South of Ouarzazate and then fly out again.
Ideally with a hotel suggestion at either end!
Not looking for 'cheap'...just good value.
Thanks in advance!

+1 for Bikershome, Peter now has four hire bikes.

The other operators in Ouarzazate (Wilderness Wheels and Moto Aventours) don't normally hire bikes, they only do guided tours.

+2 for Peter - lovely family and he will show you some special places in Morocco.

Give Peter another day or so, he is often away from home for a day or 2 either leading trips or helping people who have broken down/crashed. He will get back to you as soon as he sees your mail.

You can also SMS peter, I think his mobile number is on his website. He responded pretty quickly even when he was leading a tour when I texted him.

Marrakech and around

I just got back from a week's work in Marrakech followed by a 2-day bike rental. If you want a few ideas take a look here on the French GS site (I live in France and am moderator on the forum).

I've not finished posting yet but there are a few photos up there and I will e adding a few more with details of the trip over the next couple of days.
I rented from M2R in Marrakech. I did about 900 kms in all on a Transalp. I originally intended to rent from Loca2roues in Marrakech who have 650 end 1200GS's but only tried booking a couple of days before and all the bikes were out.
If you have any trouble with the French language on the site don't hesitate to pop questions,
Great trip, though too short. I hope you enjoy yors as much !

Yes, another Amen for Pete @ Bikershome. Stayed with him in September, phone him, or send a message, as others have pointed out, he's often out and about. Great accomodation, Great guy, and just the kind of bikes you're looking for.

Dommage Msr Boulanger ca ne fait rien!

Use google chrome as your browser and you get an translation option.

Transalp not bad, but worse on the buttocks with my GSA. Finally, I leave the papers with almost the bike rental

End of story. Evening meal in Marrakech and aircraft departure 5:50 the next day (so it will overbook the next flight for me!

And I go back to Marseille to start my 1200, which remained at the airport waiting for me ... and she was sulking because it only etc etc

Not a great translation but it gets the main ideas over.
