  • In this episode, I finally manage to leave Tata. There has been a strong cold and rain front that went over Morocco, causing heavy rainfall and snowfall. The usually dry riverbeds, the wadis, turned into raging brown rivers, resulting in the closure of roads. On top of that, strong winds cause more sand to be picked up in the air, and reducing the visibility. Somehow, I decide to ride 640 kilometers though!

    A brief history about Western Sahara: It's a Moroccan territory that was colonised by the Spanish, but they gave it back to Morocco in 1975, unlike the French that did not give back the land below the Western Sahara to Morocco, and instead created a new state in 1960 called Mauritania!! Yes, Morocco had borders with Senegal, and was divided into pieces that we are still trying to get back now! I hope you find this informative. Have a safe trip.

      That's exactly what I learned from reading about the Kingdom of Morocco's history. Colonialism and imperialism destroyed not only African countries but created intentionally tensions and conflicts among their people. Thus, there is no such thing as "Western Sahara ", it's just a distraction created by colonialism to serve its interest and keep Morocco and Algeria in conflict.

      Ya probably a little less risky too, she is taking some big gambles out there all alone, interesting, but a little over the top sometimes don't you think with this going down unknown trails not properly equipped for breakdown......by that I mean not mechanically inclined so much.......A bent shift lever and a few small holes in plastic airbox clearly put her into a panic.....Several other examples in this video stream.....blown fork seals, tool boxes rubbing on wheels....those require somewhat immediate attention....or crashes result....that is a fact.

    You may have not seen as I commented on your older video but your airbox is missing the splash guard which protects the airbox itself, the shock absorber and the suspension linkage. It screws onto the back of the airbox where the holes were and runs down between the tyre and the swing arm. They can get ripped off, either by a stone/tree root etc catching in the tyre or commonly when the bike rolls backwards and the guard catches in the tyre tread which levers it upwards and damages/rips it off. The part number is 17218-KIT-ED. The traditional emergency repair is with a piece of truck innertube riveted on. It is essential, we've destroyed linkage systems in two days riding in wet sand.

      So would you agree that "This is serious", or would you say this is a minor problem that could be temporarily repaired with few layers of duct tape? I wonder what a hole in one her side cases would be from one of her many slow speed drops in sharp rocky terrain be called...."very serious"? Similarly was the slight minimal bend of her gear shift lever warranting such a panic reaction.....but like this comment stream seams to state often....she is incredible (not so much in mechanics though.....which is kinda part of don't you think)? She heavily relies on mechanics on these journeys, and being able to find and get to them..and pay them. Your advice is sound, but wouldn't you agree that this comment stream is a little over bit over praising of her incredible (ness).

      That explains why there were two large holes for the two attachment screws of the protective guard being ripped off. Seems odd to me that important parts can be damaged so easily on a high-end off-road bike. But I don't do off-road biking, so this must be what you get for quality these days. Even that key was made cheaply.

    Some parts in the high atlas saw almost 2 meters of snow drop in a couple of days, the less high parts had all that precipitation in the form of rain which eventually finds its way to lower parts of Morocco.
    Even during summer when it is 40C, if a thunderstorm hits the high atlas you can have boulders as big as a house be dragged into the rapid river of water downstream.
    Nature is beautiful but immensely powerful.
    And once again we see how helpful Moroccans are with the key, just love these positive vibes.

    Another great adventure and story of the power of nature. What stood out for me though is how adept you are with changing conditions and your ability to let go of whatever plans and expectations you might have. It's likely why when you meet a problem or pitfall you respond with a laugh. I keep telling myself I need to learn how to laugh instead of curse. Perhaps another difficult lesson from Itchy Boots that has little to do with riding and a lot to do with being a better person. Thanks for that!

    Hi Noraly. We just found you on youtube and are enjoying many of your episodes. You are doing a great job in showing the areas you travel through with its usually wonderful people. We are avid motorbikers living on Vancouver Island in Canada. Your energy is amazing and contagious... awesome stuff! Maybe a little helpful tip: When I saw your issue with the air box it was immediately clear to me that the damage is because the bike has no rock guard where there should be one inside the wheel well. I own 10 motorbikes and they all have one... When you go off road the rocks that are stuck in your tire sometimes get thrown right at the air box at high velocity. You will most likely have that problem again unless you get one of these amazing people down there to make you some sort of a guard... Good luck and all the best!

I fitted an Acerbis long range fuel tank and had a bespoke rear cage made for two 20L fuel and water cans which I filled up like your top ups Noraly at Smara. The hotel in Samra got a bit twitchy when I carried the 20L water can to my room thinking it was full of fuel! No mobile phones when I went but I did have the first Magellan GPS for civilian use which was specially ordered from America. This caused a bit of concern at the Army check points in Western Sahara as they thought It was a radio transmitter! I still have my Arai dual sport helmet and Rukka motorcycle clothing and your excellent videos are tempting me back once more. Great stuff Noraly and have fun in the Sahara and Africa. Richard 👍❤👍
