Attaching an Austrian vignette to a bike
Hi all,
I will be riding my Honda ST1300 Pan European through Austria in September and may well use the motorways or expressways. I have no problem in buying the 10 day vignette (about €5?) but I would like some clarification on where I can mount it. From what I understand these things are particularly sticky and are intended to be very difficult to remove. They break up when trying to get them off so that they are not able to be relocated to another vehicle. I have been reading stories of them having to be scraped off with razor blades and leaving damage to screens or fairing panels etc, and that the residual glue may leave a sort of 'etch' mark on some plastics. It seems the official advice is as follows:
With single track vehicles the vignette must be stuck where it is easily visible on a flat part which cannot be removed or can only be removed with difficulty.
So, my question: where can the vignette be attached where it will be acceptable and will do no lasting damage to surfaces?
My thoughts are that putting it on the number plate might work. I have also heard of them being put under the seat on the top of the rear mudguard.
Anyone have any relevant experience and wise words on the subject?
