Thanks for that information. Bike and I will be crossing the Bay of Biscay, so hopefully it and the Straits of Gibraltar will be pleasant crossings!
Just recognised your forum name is of the bike I'll be taking to Morocco, mine's a 2016 model.

Nice, congrats to the decision!  I have a 2013 model, also already the time I went to Morocco. As it was a major trip (actually one of my really first big ones) I was glad to had chosen for the Yamaha. It simply offered more comfort when coming down the continent on over 2.500 km motorways until Algeciras port. [Actually, I won't do that again, and either combine with more time, and riding in France, or Spain, or take a ferry from Sete or Genova, which was how I returned].
Later in Morocco, on the gravel pistes in the Atlas mountains, and the sandy bits in the near-Sahara area I wished for a lighter machine, but that's another story...

I'll be riding down from Aberdeen in the north east of Scotland via a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, so will find out how comfortable it is. An Airhawk seat cushion should help!

Tanger Med for me.......it's simple and if you are on a bike don't queue with the cars at custom.....tha police told me once to turn around in the middle of the cars and ride back against the flow and head up the left hand side to the front.....they even have a laugh with you these days.....

Just completed the D16TER for next months trip in Morocco and there's some subtle changes from Tim's excellent article here:
Import forms, fiches
They now ask:
Point of entry - "Bureau d-entree"
Date of entry into Morocco - "Date d'entrée au Maroc"
The identifiant has also changed as per the attachment.
Finally, when I printed it off, it was on a single page of A4 in portrait, but in three sections.

Reason: Change Bureau d-entree to point of entry. Thanks Peter.

Bureau de entree is your point of entry to Morocco. You need to sign each of the three sections of the form, bottom left, in the space provided.
Have a great trip,
Peter
