Utilizing my military friend in Germany to help purchase a motorbike
Hi All,
Great forum, I am on Advrider often. I searched the past couple hours for an answer to this without much luck. I did, however, learn other valuable information in the process.
I have a good friend stationed in Germany. He is also a U.S. citizen. Is it possible for him to buy a motorbike and I be on his insurance? If so, with full coverage or only liability? He is doing his best to find this information for me but he's busy with training for the next 1-2 months.
I plan on visiting much of western and eastern Europe, including Turkey and some of Russia; maybe morocco as well. Renting a motorcycle for 3-4 weeks is not only extremely expensive (3k++ Euro) but it appears to limit the geography I can traverse as well. I am still trying to discern what limitations (and licenses/insurance I need) exist geographically if I ride a motorbike from Germany to the more 'adventurous' locations I have planned.
Shipping a bike from the states does not make much sense in the context of this ride. If I must spend several thousand renting, so be it. Thanks for any assistance.
