Country Flag Stickers
OK, not strictly speaking 'paper work', but really it is paperwork
I tried google UK to no result:
Where can I get a nice set of country flag stickers to fit on my panniers? I remember someone mentioning them on a HU meeting here in the UK, but I'm not sure & can't remember where to get them from.... any mailorder places???
Cheers
Bjorn

I also looked for stickers all the way and generally could not find any. I then met an Austrian couple in a landie in Tanzania who painted their flags themselves. I went and bought 10 little pots of paint from a hobby shop and did the same.

You'll find them in just about any tacky tourist shop in each country you go to. Garages sometimes sell them too.

Not in SE Asia, you don't. Even in Arabia all we could find was a nice sheet with *paper* stickers. After a few months they fade, when they get wet they dissolve and eventually they fall off.
I'll have to remove them all now and revert to my felt pen...

I needed stickers too, but wasn't that easy to find in the right format/quality so decided to do them myself with a fellow biker.
We liked the result and created a quick website for everyone to order.
Adventure Moto Stickers
We print them in Asia, so shipping usually takes up to a month, but they are good quality (i use them myself of course :], after two years still sticking and no fading, and i'm on my rtw trip, so riding a lot... ).
it's not quite a business yet, but so far everyone was happy...

hm it should work,
are using it from mobile or laptop? which browser?
selecting the size just changes the background color to a light gray, maybe difficult to see on some screens.
And if you click on a country on the map it should add it to the basket, might be a little slow on first load.
So far it has been working well, and it does for me right now, could you try again?
Cheers

Nope clicking on the size just sends the page back to the top and the countries do not load.
Using Chrome on a pc.

Great site, really convenient interface, great prices too, I've previously used another site here in Germany and they are well over twice the price. Nice work.

FWIW, I just tried to add items to my shopping cart Moritz and if I click on a specific sticker that's available on the Achievements page (e.g. Death Road), it goes to the shopping cart. However there is no way to select a country flag. Neither the map nor the list works.
On Chrome with W7

PS. Full site works fine on my cell phone: Chrome on Android
On IE with W7 on laptop, same problems as described above. Except here none of the achievement stickers go to the shopping card (On Chrome with W7) they did.
Maybe something to do with my security settings, possibly Flash disabled?
I have no problems on my W7 laptop (with Chrome) with its current settings with buying things on online platforms like flight websites, motorcycle parts websites, Ebay or Amazon

Thx for the feedback guys, with the help of Chris i could pin it down to Windows versions < Windows 8, a javascript function that was not available in Win7...
It's fixed now!
Not that we have a lot of orders, but for two years i didn't know that people cannot use the page with win7
