Solo Moto Morocco. 15th January 2024. Donkey has been fixed!

During the adventure in Morocco, I gave my Voge 300 Rally dual sport motorcycle a name. I decided to call it 'Donkey'. It had been lugging my 100kgs plus luggage everywhere I asked it to. On my trail ride up into the Atlas Mountains, the side stand sank deep into very soft ground, and the bike went over. This bent the stand slightly. While I was in Sidi Ifni I found a metal worker, who reenforced the stand for me.

Exactly what ive thought of for the side stand. Good to see you did that simple mod.
Consider making a video of whata you carry with you in terms of bike tools and spare parts and your luggage "horse shoe"

I will make a full review of everything at the end of the trip. What worked and what didn’t etc. 👍

Exchanged the spring for a stronger one as well to handle the extra weight? Greetings from Portimao!

Olá Portugal 🇵🇹 No the original spring is working fine.

Inky pinky ponky. Daddy bought a donkey. Donkey died, Daddy cried, inky pinky ponky 😅😅

That’s wonderful Anton. What a lovely rhyme. You can have a gold star and move from the crèche to junior school 😂

He made a good job of that, how much did he charge you.

[@livelongrideonover70]

150 dirhams. He did it there and then for me. The whole job took one hour including watching the paint dry. 😁

I'll have to tell the wife I'm going to get my side stand strengthened, it's only £12.

@@lyntonwebb9661 you never know. It could be a worthwhile investment 😁💪
