My bike, the KTM 1290 Super ADV R “La Poderosa” is still waiting for me in Lima, Peru, in the workshop of the KTM dealer, Socopur, who I will never cease to thank for the immense help given during Peruvian trip and my accident last January (this post).
Then came this fucking (or faking is more appropriate) virus and I couldn’t longer resume my journey, so I took the opportunity to take a long vacation here in Italy, have time to fix the broken shoulder (thank you very much my amazing physiotherapists) and do a lot of enduro training with the new 450EXC with some cool guys.
But time is ticking and I need to travel like I need oxygen, and so I go for it before they close down everything in this general madness where the world seems to have lost all forms of critical thinking.
In my garage there is now another KTM, the 1290 Super ADV S “Katy” and now, waiting to be able to return to South America, I have decided to go for another adventure; here my plan for the next three months.
I am writing this post from the seat 5A on board a flight that takes me back to Italy, just noticed that France and its gerontophile President has decreed a new lockdown. This changes my plan and I therefore decided to take a ferry in Genoa and head directly to Tangier – Morocco, skipping France and Spain (which I have already visited many times). As usual, I’ll ride most of the time off-road, the Metzeler Karoo 3 are ready and waiting the bike in Genoa where I have the check control and change tires.
I’ll try to keep you all informed on my routes in the hope there is a chance of having a beer together, if you don’t drink beer we can’t be friend!
As you know, I avoid big cities and riding almost always off-road and very often inventing roads.. It’s just my style.
I will have to do the RT-PCR test at Covid before crossing any border, that’s the worst part, in the hope that there are no other lockdowns, in this case I will have to stop for a while.

You know I travel light and minimal and for this adventure I decided to go even lighter, thank you Touratech, I love you.
For the occasion, I’ll wear a special Brema suit and… a bit more, but this is a surprise.
I travel alone, as always, but I’ll share a part of my journey with…. surprise, stay tuned
