National requirements
I would like info on national requirements.Is there a single point of access for this info? Not just carnets etc but also in which countries is it mandatory to carry a fire extinguisher or warning triangle etc.I can find info relevant to cars but not bikes - only the odd reference in various 'Travellers tales'Cheers,Lorenz

Agreed. It would be good to have it in the country specific info?
Think for bikes waht is wanted in parts of europe is a first aid kit and spare globes. Whick countries? Don't know. Triangles are for cars and trucks .. I think.

I don't think such a site exists, but if somebody wants to maintain one here is some info:
The Eurocrats strike again: According to new EU regulations just released all bikes over 125cc must carry an approved first aid kit from 1 August. Source: http://www.netbiker.de/Article17.html
Kroatia: warning vest must be carried. Wearing it is obligatory if "leaving the vehicle" after breakdown or accident or for refuelling on side of the road.
Austria: warning triangles for sidecars and quads. A first aid kit is already compulsory, but no approval required.
Italy: if caught wearing an unapproved helmet the fine is 71 to 286 € and the bike is confiscated for 30 days.
