"Here is a good link of the better known UK travel insurance offerings. Make sure you read the small print to make sure you're covered as a biker. It might also be a good idea to e-mail them if you have any questions on what is/what's not covered before you buy, to beef up you legal position if you do claim. Some of the people on the helpdesks told me bikes weren't covered, although it said so in the small print."
