Insurance (the complete package)
I'm a UK resident and planning a tour leaving June 2006 from the UK to Australia. I realise that the complete insurance package is not possible (due to problems of availability and price) but I am interested in finding out how much I can get. Can anyone give me any information about the following:
1. Insurance to cover the bike in the event that it is stolen (I haven't yet heard of anywhere that will provide worldwide insurance, or even insurance for the specific countries that I will be travelling through). I will be riding a BMW R1200 GS.
2. Third party insurance to cover me in the event that I injure (god forbid!) a third party and / or damage their property (I am finding that you can often purchase this at boarders, but would be very interested to know if there is any global insurance available).
3. Medical insurance which covers me even when riding the bike.
4. Insurance to cover personal items (some high value e.g. cameras and gps).
All answers would be very gratefully received. I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has done a similar trip and how much insurance they travelled with.
Many thanks.
Tom.
