What address are you going to keep on your drivers licence? could you use the same for your insurance? or maybe use a friends address? That's what i will probably be doing.
Have you got a route sorted yet?

I am a Kiwi myself, living in Perth. I had insurance previously, when I did courier work in London a few years ago so it may just be possible to just walk in and get another policy. I don't want to wind up in the crapper, owning a bike but unable to ride it, so I am trying to make sure the bases are covered. It is not so much the chance of an accident pushing this, as it is the legal requirement in both the UK and Europe.
At the moment, the only part of the trip which has any planning, is the leg from Portsmouth to Cherbourg then down to northern Portugal. After that, it's a case of follow the road and the guidebook.
When do you intend to be getting out of the UK. We may be able to catch up for a  .
Cheers,
Gav.
