Hi,
I'm an American who wants to get a bike with sidecar and do a European and Scandinavian road trip. Estimate of about 2 months on the road.
Can anyone help me understand the necessary details relating to legally owning and operating a bike in Europe as a foreigner? Where could I buy and register a bike with the least trouble, and where could I find insurance for the same?
I'll be in Italy at the start of June, when I'd like to kick it all off. I could go to pretty much any euro country where I could get it the purchase and insure done.
If it's possible, I'd be interested in then exporting the bike to the USA, but if too problematic, I'd sell it on after the trip, or find a storage option till the next time I'm there.
Thanks for any help/advice that you have to give!
Jim
