    Evening all..

    Going on a mission around some of the finer mountain passes across Europe next week..

    During a sudden dose of reality that I've now got only 4 days to sort my life out, i figured travel insurance may be a good idea !
    Ive done the usual money supermarket.com thing and all was looking good, and cheap, until i realised it only covers bikes below 125cc, which isn't gonna cut it !

    Getting quotes for motorbike travel isn't as easy...
    Ive found one quote for £64.83, which is understandable to an extent but compared to the standard travel insurance of a mere £14.95, which gave me £5m in medical cover, on a motorbike it drops to £2500 o_O..

    Anyhow, any travellers out there, who have you gone to for cover ?

    I thank you...

    Hence why I posted the link!

    If they cover that lot at reasonable cost then what U want is a piece of Urine I'd expect.

    Look at Holidaysafe.co.UK

    Their standard cover includes motorcycle touring. I've had the multitrip policy for the past couple of years. Only costs me about £30 a year.

    Carole Nash.

    I have moved to a local insurer probably not available to mainlanders. But I used Carole Nash for a few years About £60-70 a year, and they covered motorcycle travel.

    Lots of stuff covered - seemed tops.
