Note!  I am posting this for a friend!  Please respond to the
address he gives at the bottom!  Thanks!
--------------------------------------------------------------
     I am planning on moving to France for 2 or 3 years around
Feb.  I have sold my motorcycle here in New York, and hope to
ride again in my new (temporary) home.  I currently hold a
valid NY class 5 and 7 driver's liscence.  My question is:
Will I come up against any unexpected hassles when I buy my
next bike in France (or Italy or Germany)?  Also, what about
insurance and any paper work I should do before I leave?  
I was told by a friend that I may have some difficulty if I
pla to have a bike for a long period of time (>3 months) with a
foriegn liscence.  Any help from someone who has lived abroad
or who knows about this situaion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.
