Old and New

   “How about Morocco?” Thanks to Clay Bastion, this question gets answered. Join us for a conversation with this North African gem of a country at its center. Clay Bastion has traveled via two wheels with and without MotoQuest Founder, Phil Freeman. Clay is cool under pressure, willing to pitch in and a generous spirit. He can hang; at the Dakar Rally, on the back of a camel or on a rooftop without guardrails.

    Walk the Marrakech Medina. Learn how to barter with some of the best in the world. If you don’t say, “No,” be prepared to carry something that you didn’t want or need along on the rest of the trip. Moroccan Math Equations, inches of skin multiplied by kilometers from the beach divided by inches of clothing, there will be a test.

    Clay introduced the idea of scouting trips to Phil over a decade ago. These trips are first forays into new lands. Riders who sign up know that it will involve hiccups, getting lost, break downs without spares and more and also, less. That pain is part of the fun. These are Zombie apocalypse first round draft picks. Clay makes the cut. He knows that no matter what, you don’t feed the monkeys.

 In this episode Phil and Clay talk about the modern and ancient influences in Morocco and give some travel tips.
