I've started this thread because the previous one is wandering off topic. The previous thread was Artago Disk Lock - 22586 and was originally posted with theft security as the underlying purpose.
The post that prompted this one was a suggestion that France requires a system of reflective decals (stickers) applied to helmets. My helmet doesn't have these and it looks like I'd better find some and apply them before heading into France.
That's just one aspect. My helmet is a North American Spec: DOT - FMVSS No 218. Obviously, there will be different regulations applied for helmets manufactured for use in the EU. I understand that spec is: ECE 22.05. I haven't found any references to cross-compliance and I'm wondering if my wife and I will need to budget for new helmets for our European motorcycle trip. This trip will not be a simple two-week thing. We will be in Europe off and on for some time.
I'm thinking that I should contact one or two of the Motorcycle Tour Companies and get their take on the question. They must have visitors coming from the US and Canada with their own helmets on a regular basis.
Other suggestions remarked on the need to research insurance company regs about lock and chain combos and reflective vest requirements.
