Hello.... regarding this post, I am wondering whether legislation has changed at all since 2008. I am asking as a biker who has added parts to my bike, things like a crud catcher, fender extender, shorter brake/clutch levers, headlamp guard, butterfly valve covers, Barkbuster handguards to name a few.
A recent Facebook post told a story of a biker who had been fined €1200 by German police for having aftermarket parts for which she could not produce TuV paperwork/certification for. Other bikers also replied with comments that they too had been stopped/fined. So the last sentence of your original article would imply these fines were illegally obtained as these bikers were all tourists. Are you able to clarify the situation and/or offer any advice as to how to go about communicating with a German officer if stopped?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated :)
