The Wrong Way Round - Part 2 |
Jo made a few mistakes the first day, starting off with drinking huge amounts of beer on the ferry from Ireland with some other biker chappies. I had had an inebriated phone call from him, waking me u...

Morocco by bikes. The Wrong Way Round. Part 1. |
Great moment yesterday as we rode the last stage to Marrakech. We cruised through the foothills of the Atlas, riding side-by-side, CHiPs-style, standing up on the pegs at 85mph to let the breeze circu...
