Export plates on the atlatic route, problems?
I am considering buying a bike in Germany or Belgium and riding through France and Spain down the Atlantic route ending up in Bamako where I had though to sell the bike. Has anyone riden in these countries and over these borders with export plates? Had problems? I looked at the paper work forum but didn't find anything on Mauritania. Officially the require a carnet, but most people get by without out no? The other thing I wondered about is I have an american drivers liscence, but I do not have the motorcycle endorsment currently. It looks like a standard liscence, it stands "vehicle operators liscence" etc. I am experienced with bikes so I am not expecting to be stopped for violations. Will this be a problem? I will be riding in europe for max 3 days. I really don't like the idea of getting randomly stopped and my bike impounded becuase I am not moto endorsed. Could that be a real issue? Hope someone can help me. Other wise I'll give you an update in a month or two, hopefull not from a spanish jail cell!
