Europe content
The central portal for all European environmental zones.
Legal entry restrictions and the introduction of new environmental badges are on the increase in Europe, and if you don't have one the fines are high, from €68 to €135 (£59 - £117) for vehicles, including motorcycles, that don't display an appropriate sticker. The stickers are in the €3-5 range, so get all you might need!
There is also an Android and iPhone app to keep track of where the stickers are needed and any updates.
NOTE: There are other places to get these stickers, but this is the central place to start, linking to the primary places to get them or selling direct.
The main page to get stickers is here.
Motorcycle events in Verona, Berlin, Prague and thousands of other places across Europe. No matter your passion - Harley Davidson tours, trackdays with your Ducati or showing off your perfectly restored BMW R12, if you want to meet other people who share your passion for motorcycles while enjoying good food and music - there are plenty of events awaiting you.

Motorcycle Rentals in Malaga, Spain created by overlanders and for other bikers! We have medium-sized touring bikes in an excellent condition and well equipped for exploring Andalucia, the Southern Spain and beyond. We are long-distance motorcycle travelers ourselves. Based on our own experience we try to provide our guests with everything they need in order to have an amazing holiday and enjoy Spain.
Specifically for other overlanders at times we can also provide bike storage, local tips and some space to do some light maintenance.
As motorcycle travelers ourselves, we are trying to solve ours and others problem of finding an accommodation suitable for bikers, with secure parking and friendly welcoming owners. This is particularly an issue when visiting big cities where parking on the street isn't safe and hotel parking rates are often exorbitant.
This is why we have created MotorbikeRooms.com website - a directory of hotels and apartments that are suitable for motorcyclists. We use different technologies to pre-select the hotels and then verify the suitability manually - as well as providing a map for easy navigation and a link to book a specific hotel easily.
We are now starting with hotels in Spain and Portugal and are looking to expand the coverage to the rest of Europe.
