What's gone wrong with Fes?

I got followed by a girl beggar in a wheel chair in Fes moaning that I hadn't given her enough money and getting a bit shouty, she would not leave me alone till I used a flight of stairs to get away. It also has the smelliest tannery in the old town, make your hair fall out if you take a deep breath.

@Six30 would fuck it.......then nick her wheelchair!

Looks like @Saul used it twice for his commute

 

Now on the ferry, for what looks like quite a choppy ride to Spain. The guy tightening the bike down laughed and said I will definitely feel it 

I pray to any saint for no rain on the other side.

It’s the rubber boot that seals the shaft inside. It’s looking weird in fact, I’ll check it when off the boat. It looks like a cloth because of the desert dust stuck to it.

Yes, it might just be all the dust on there but it doesn't look like it's seated correctly.  That would be a surefire why to kill the final drive bearing.

The diff is isolated from there. However, it would need a proper clean, mainly the shaft knuckles.

 

 

The Mediterranean is upset today, people are throwing up already, but two guys are praying really hard so as long as Allah still covers international waters we’re ok.

Looks ok from up close, Bob

 

 

 

Tarifa now, feeling very nostalgic and thinking about the previous time I left Morocco against my will. Forecasts are storms all over, so will have a piss and put all the plastic stuff on, and go sleep in Portugal tonight. Rock on storms!

Made it home instead of stopping overnight somewhere. It rained most of the day. Pretty hard day, too.

Bike is less dirty than yesterday, and yesterday less dirty than the day before, seems like it’s cleaning itself!
