Now we're no longer in the EU does anyone know what documents you need to travel abroad ?
There's a few of us doing a trip, riding through Holland, Germany and Austria, just wondering what documents we need ie licence, insurance etc.
Reg plate, or any other regulations we need to be looking at.

Check with the AA or RAC... think they would know...

Check with your insurance policy. Most will cover you for a few weeks a year.
Also check to see if you need to carry a warning triangle, breathalyzer, and a spare set of bulbs. The requirement changes from country to country.
The AA might be a good shout to find out what you need. I've never bothered with a GB sticker but that might also be a requirement if you don't have a plate with GB on it.

I think the GB sticker is no longer allowed, it now has to be UK.
As said different countries slightly different rules, eg Spain you must display UK separate of the number plate, even if it’s on the plate already. Other rules on google search

As I'm from Germany, I'd advise to mount your stock cans as police became pretty intense regarding bike noise.

In popular regions like the Eifel (Nürburgring) or Bavarian Alps, they confiscate loud exhausts and you're not allowed to continue riding until you mount something compliant.

In Austria they even banned bikes with a noise level above 95dB from entering the state of Tirol. As a surprise, they noise-test motorcycles, too.

On the other hand the level of fines for speeding is ridiculously low in Germany compared to every other country around. Especially Switzerland is extremely expensive, but also Austria!
