German insurance providers do get information from the Bürgeramt about your address. I didn't know that.
When moving my residence back to Estonia from Germany I planned to keep the bike in the South and continue slow travelling, leaving the bike near airports and flying home from time to time.
The first reality check was that the Estonian vehicle registry insisted on physically seeing the bike to change my address in the registration papers. What for, I have no idea. And this insistence is in stark contrast with the claim that in E-Estonia you can do anything online except getting married. Well, it seems you also can't do something as simple as changing your address in your bike papers. You can change it in your own papers online, without having to have your person physically inspected. Apparently bikes are that much more important. (==end of rant==)
Ok, next plan: include Estonia in the travel plans for next summer, going on to Nordkapp from there. This plan became under doubt when, in Istanbul, I received a message from the German insurer, asking for my new address. Ouch. Fortunately they were slow to react, and only cancelled my insurance starting 1st January next year. Had they done it starting 1st December, I would have been in deep shit, but now I could relatively easily change the plan and ride from Athens to Estonia in December. The weather doesn't make it a dream destination this time of the year, but doable it should be.
Next question is the route. Could I still keep to the original plan of Sicily-Sardinia-Korsika, and then circle the Alps in the West? On the flight to Athens, just decided to take the eastern route instead, following the Black sea coast through Bulgaria etc. The monthly weather forecast seems to be mild, let's see.
