a Kiwi through Europe and Turkey, Around and about

A Kiwi wrinkly hits the road again
A New Year. A new challenge. That means a new motorbike tour.

Last year I rode 21000km through 22 countries in Europe on my 2008 Suzuki V Strom 650. The blog is on the kiwi biker.co.nz site under blogs/three months in Europe

I finished the blog on that trip by hinting I was contemplating a tour of Morocco and Turkey in 2012. Well I have contemplated and I am off in April 2012 for a four month tour. This year the trip will not be entirely solo as a couple of friends want to join me for the Turkish leg.

Following is a story of a trip I made in Morocco in April/May 2012. As background, I am a 63 year old Kiwi living on theCoromandel Peninsula of New Zealand's North Island. In 2011 I did a 21,000 km tour of Europe on my V strom 650. Following this trip in Morocco I toured Turkey and Albania. I am currently planning a 6 month South American tour beginning in October 2013.

I hope you enjoy my story
