Biker in Algerie 1991

In 1991 I decided to go again to the desert - with 5 biker and another car pilot. The Toyota and my Landrover had to carry the whole petrol and water capacities for that trip. We also took spare parts for the bikes, some clothes, cooking equipment, tents and medicine with us. Even the bikes (BMW GS 100) at least got a weight up to 250 kg in addition. We drove to Tamanrasset - than to Djanet and back on an eastern route via the Tassili - a stony and difficult region to drive - especially for the biker. Three biker gave up near Tam, because of a crash one was hurt very ugly and another one got difficulties with his gearbox. They returned slowly to Algier while the rest of the group - the Toyo and 2 BMW pilots took up the direction to Djanet. For navigation I bought fine map sheets at Fnac in Paris. The maps are still the same as the french military used it 50 years ago. Some are only black and white - some are coloured in after-treatment by hand. I never will sell them.
