This was my first big motorcycle outing at the age of 18 back in 1978. The Police were No1 with Message in a Bottle and Morocco was about as exotic as it gets for a boy travelling solo from the South Wales valleys on a Norton Commando. Little did I know the fun and games I'd have just south of Paris.
