Put the plate on the back of your jacket! Would make some great protection. Although you would slide forever...

strap an IPAD and use it for a tag and then you can take it with you

What do those little vespa type scooters use?
Body, these LP's are pretty good for tailgate partys: 3 eggs a bunch of bacon

A license plate per year, each year a different color.

Do the vespas have to have that big of a plate on though?

Yeah those license plates would make for a nice griddle though instead of just a boogie board. You could utilize them in many aspects of life,.. LOLOL!!

easy answer --> anything other than stock (european stock) sound level is not permitted if you register the bike in Germany. HOWEVER if your bike does not have a german licence plate you are not bound to the german registration and TUV laws

When I was living in germany I left my bike registered to a UK address.

In theory as long as your bike is not registered to germany the german police cannot book you for not following their laws. Both cars and bike registration/TUV laws only really apply to those cars/bikes registered in said country. There are exceptions when it comes to endangering life and such, or if you vehicle is unsafe of such (or say you are driving a armored tank which is not permissible on public roads).

Nowadays they are quite strict with "noise pollution" and this has happened to foreign bikes with loud pipes also:

That sucks big time then.

As much as I agree that there are bikes that sport exhausts that are too loud but I think they should allow more than presently is allowed.

I don't know when you have been in Germany last, but today there is EU law above German law. As long as you will have a EU registered vehicle you will be under EU law executed by the local police departments. And noise pollution is regulated by EU law.

When I got my last ticket in London 22 years ago I threw it into the river Thames - now I have to pay it otherwise it will be executed in Berlin too
