Dr. Frazier Morocco Adventure Riding Photo Gallery
Dr. Frazier rides through the North African country of Morocco.
Dr. Frazier was traveling in the dry season but said that if it were the wet season, this bridge would be only slightly above the floods.
To arrive in Morocco from Spain I took an overnight ferryboat which was less than $100.00 for me and the motorcycle.
Outside the cities gas stations were sometime little more than bottles stacked by the side of the road.
I could not read the language but could figure out the speed limit was 100 kph, or 60 mph, a speed limit no one seemed to obey.
If you are a techno-free traveler and feel lost without a GPS, just follow the electric/telephone poles. They will lead somewhere.
An example of Moroccan off-paved-road riding.
Camels roamed freely. Once I topped a rise to find some sleeping in the road. I crashed after deciding to veer right into the ditch rather than try to go through them.
We're not in Kansas any more, Toto.
Water was carried back to the village from the local well.
Heading into the Atlas Mountains.
A ski base for skiers in the middle of Morocco, something unexpected when thinking of Africa and the nearby Sahara Desert.
The white spots in the background are patches of snow.
This herder offered to be photographed for free for the two stickers I pasted to his jacket.
A used motorcycle market. Prices were small as were the motorcycles.
Rental bikes were available for less than $100.00 USD per day.
My major mechanical problem was two flat tires. The KLR was not at fault.
Snakes in the public market were within striking distance. I did not trust that they had been drained of venom, so left town instead. Dr. Frazier no likey-snakey.
Camping in the sand, the quietest camping I have done on earth.
is was why I had come to Morocco, the sands of the Sahara Desert.
Some roads to small villages would be a challenge for a Gold Wing, but not for my KLR 650.
