Nope. Apart from saying "Oberösterreich" in tiny letters under the coat of
arms.
I only have a blue EU plate on the bike. The others were registered "just
in time" to avoid them.

AFAIR we had to change our number plates in NL. I can't imagine paying
for new plates, unless I was obliged to.

In future a useful expression will be "Mixi is on the Midnight Express
again" Some newbies may misunderstand and ask for ticket prices and
timetable info, but what the hell.
Interesting travel fact, Airbus flights from Skiathos travelling to
Manchester normally have to do a two hour refueling stop on the way
back, because the runway is not long enough for an Airbus to take off
with sufficient fuel to reach Manchester.

We don't have to change them, just every new pate issued or exchanged will
have the flag on it.
