Moving to Germany!
I have a few questions for all you current German riders out there. How is passing the TUV, especially with the 95 DBA rating. Do I have to run stock exhaust or what exhaust are you guys passing with? By the way, I have an 09 night train.
Are there any ECE half helmets?
Are there any good rallies that are a must attend? Do they have bike nights like we do in the states? I'll be there in July and am really looking forward to riding the alps and all over Europe!
Thanks for your help!

I'm at ramstein. If you have anything other than stock exhaust you may not pass. Most guys put their stock exhaust on for the inspection them swap back afterwards.
You can wear DOT helmets here, but yes they do have ECE half helmets. Their is a store in Kaiserslautern that I got my helmet from. Very reasonable prices.
Their are clubs and rallies here but I am a new rider so I am not that familiar with them yet.
What base you going too?

Thanks for the info! I'll be heading out to Ramstein. My exhaust now is at 95db so I think I'll be leaving my after market exhaust on and hope for the best. Glad to hear you can wear your DOT while you are there. Does the base make you wear bright gear during the day?

Plus there are things on Europe bikes that are required there that aren't on your stock USA Harley.
I'd also inquire if your bike would pass before taking it with you. It's more than pipes.
