hi, no problem about that.
you need the export number plates, the one with red/orange at the side.
you can get them valid from 9 days up to one year. these are the only number plates in germany which are sold to non eu passportholders.
anything more than 30 days the insurance can become costly, check prices as they differ a lot. the insurance includes a green card ( international ).
the car has to have valid technical checkup ( tüv ) and since 2007 you have to pay roadtax from the first day, before the first 3 months used do be exempted from roadtax. if you don´t have a bank account in germany you have to pay the road tax in cash at a tax office before they handle the number plates over to you.
to register the car you need to take it to the registration office as they need to check the chassis number ( vin ).
since we have the new eu car documents for a while now, they do not deregister the car anymore at the registration office, means you still have valid car documents to re-enter germany again.

hope that helps,
todo

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
