Thanks
I am very grateful for all the advice, and the speed of response.
I have rented a lot of bikes locally all over Asia, Africa and South America, but I have never taken a bike of my own outside the geographical limits apparently imposed by all UK insurers (essentially the EU and the 4 other signatories to the EU Motor Insurance Directive). I think I have spoken to every major broker and most of the significant UK insurers.
So it hadn’t occurred to me that it might be easy and quick (even if not necessarily cheap) to buy insurance on a pay-as-you-go basis at the borders.
BTW: I have just had that advice corroborated by the leader of a group of bikers I ran across in Armenia last September. They had come from Spain, Iran, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. If it worked for all of them I am confident it will for me (lifelong UK resident with EU nationality) on a UK registered bike.
On that basis I am ready to take the plunge if and when the borders start to re-open.
Thanks again.
