Hi Mick
Port of entry Nador... .. port returning Tanger Med.... if anything changes we can just fill it out in pen on the day ....you can usually pay in euros but it’s easier just to take dirhams out of an ATM ...
I’ll be working on routes tonight to hone them ....
Keep at it !!!

Thanks Keith,I would have presumed wrong I'll try again today with the customs docs. When I went to the print option I kept getting a plain black sheet then it progressed no further

I’ve just seen this post and from my experience with a 690 I’d say try a regulator/rectifier.chubbyhooker wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 4:39 pmNo Steve been riding weekly fuel wise , nothings happened as in knocks etc , seems ok leaks wise although did get a tweak on the exhaust studs but still the same , ticks over lovely but after about a mile I can hear the exhaust tone change & that’s when it starts but only on deceleration & still wants to pull a bit when I’ve throttled off ?

I had an ‘09 Enduro R and those symptoms happened twice. Both times sorted by a reg/rec.
I maybe wide of the mark but it’s worth trying. Especially if someone can lend you one.
Good luck and enjoy Morocco.

Two more friends from Scotland have signed up.....they'll possibly van their motos down to my house beforehand.
Page One updated. I'm still working to see if we can squeeze more off roading in....There's a few annoying loose,long,rocky, and tedious routes I could factor in south of Zagora and which would allow parallel road riding if no one wanted to ride the piste......stand by.
For information purposes.

Looks good Keith, thanks. Just have to put on new chain and new rubber and ready to go. I may even get a new tube in honour of the trip

Hi Bob!!!!
Great stuff!
I'll throw in a front tube and check my chain kit over. I'll carry out the usual oil/filter er change and change out my coolant.
After that the old girl is ready to go!
If I can I'll try and get us over the High Atlas route to avoid the vampire giraffes....they're afraid of heights
Keep at it!!
baaaaaaaa

Almost there....a couple more evenings should have it sorted. There's an absolutely cracking and very scenic road ride to try and squeeze in too if I can.
I'll look for final numbers soon too so as I can book something on the first night in Spain and for the hotels in Merzouga and Zagora.
