(you still need to have the insurance though, if you don't you risk imprisonment, and I'm not over dramatising)[/quote] I think they checked that you had insurance before letting you out of the docks. I certainly had to have all the required papers before they stamped my exit docs, which would have ...

That's good.
For those who don't know ADAC is (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V.)

Good idea for a Morocco "reference" thread. There is loads on the forum it needs pulling together.

Fabulous museum. Well worth a visit.

It has raised some great questions also - what do you do if you run out of tampons? Can bears smell blood? You know that question is asked a lot by ladies, especially in context of Russia or Canada... :) When I rode into Grizzly bear forests in northern USA the huge graphic "scare you to death...

Damn good post that James 691. Real food for thought. I have know only a few female bikers in my long biking life but they have all been "pretty to very" memorable for one reason or another. I will never forget Katrina Price on her little enduro bike in a very gnarly and wet Welsh 2-day En...
