Hi,

For Germany you dont need to carry spare bulbs. Bike documents, Insurance and Passport should be ok. For Austria you would need a first aid kit.

Enjoy the black forest, dont miss the Schloss Neuschwanstein wich Disney allways shows at the begining of there films and if you are intresdet in Cars go and visit the Porsche and Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart :)

Have fun, Tobi

Thanks Tobi. I'll certainly try to visit the Schloss, but the museums may be ruled out on time.

Daughter likes schlosses, but cars not so much. I think she could be getting big on bikes, though.

Back home, safe and sound, no arrests, no convictions :)

In the end, I carried bike V5, MoT certificate, insurance and driving licence, passport, spare bulbs (and fuses), a first aid kit and at the last minute I threw in a couple of hi-viz tabards - in case of breakdown rather than to comply with any laws.

The only thing I needed to show was the passport on return to the UK. But I would take it all again, minus the hi-viz, which took up too much room.

Daughter and I had a great time. Thanks to all who responded for your help.
