This is the 2017 bobber I had when we lived in Switzerland. And my wife's 50th anniversary Vespa.

When we bought these nobody told me I couldn't bring them home to Canada. So when we came home we had to sell them both. I miss that bike every day. But recently got a new-to-me 2018 that I will mod until it looks just like that one.

TIL: Vehicle exchange programs are a thing.

Never heard of them before. Maybe because Germany seems to be really relaxed in this regard. You may have to pay some taxes (e.g. VAT if new) when importing, that's it. No country restrictions that I know of.

If I had bought it 15km away in Germany I would have been fine :( Anything in the EU would be fine, but working with switz is (as usual) a bureaucratic mess.
