Information in the press out here only mentions cars so I am not sure if this will apply to motorcycles.

I don't understand what the issue is really. I'm all for it. I really hope they would do this in Belgium also so they could raise some desperately needed money to repair our roads. Everyone uses Belgium as a highway to get to other countries so the state of the roads is shit.

Typical. I'm a 'foreign motorist' yet I'm more than happy to contribute.

They should do something like Austria does. Have two prices, one yearly and one for 10 days, with the 10 day one being much more expensive on a pro-rata basis but still makes more sense than an annual vignette.

This sucks, as I only use Germany to get to other places.

Will make riding to Poland, Austria, Czech Republic extremely slow, or extremely costly.

I remember getting caught out in Italy as they don't discount tolls for bikes like in France. From Menton (France on the border) to Bologna cost over €44

EDIT: actually it doesn't too bad is bikes are at the bottom end of the scale. €10

Every vehicle that gets off the ferry or channel train without a UK Reg plate should automatically have a £147 toll put on it. These tolls in europeland are just a method of restricting free movement within the EU.
