Personal insurance - ???
I'm about to go on my first overland trip on a Motorbike, and am trying to get insurance for this Friday (when I set off). I obviously need cover for travelling on a large (more than 125cc) bike - it's 800cc - but I also want cover for my personal items, on and off the bike. I've got insurance for the bike itself.
I'm both staying in hotels and camping around Europe. I rang world wide travel insurance (it got a mention here at some point) and they will cover my personal items if they're with me at all times. Surely people camp with hard panniers, lock them and go off for the day? Even at night, surely people leave everything locked to the bike? You'd need a bloody huge tent to pile everything in it otherwise (that's whay the company are suggesting I do in order to cover me). My thought is that locked to the bike is more secure?
Are there companies that cater for common sense that you've used, or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
