I have just been advised by STA Travel, link from HU, that they DO NOT cover Motor Cycle Touring above 125cc. It is rather confusing as the list of items covered says

Adventure sports covered on premier only
Abseiling, American Football*, Archery, Ballooning, blah, blah, blah, Mopeds/Motorcycle Touring, Motorcycling up to 125cc where claims and conviction free for previous 3 years and where wearing a helmet, etc,etc.

The commer between Motorcycle Touring,, and Motorcycling upto 125etc is eronious. What they mean is any Motorcycling activity up to 125cc but exluding sports riding.

I have complained and they are amending their web page.

I therefore think, apart from our 4x4 members, this is a quite usless link for us 2 wheelers.

As posted by Del Boy, Endesleigh are quick and clued up when it comes to insurance.

Also nearly all of the others limit the period to 45,90 or 180 days a year max.

And the UK insurance trade try and tell us they are world leaders, get real.

I think that after I get back in a few years time, I will start a Two Wheeled Adventure Travelers Agency where you can fill in a form, leave the rest to us and hey presto all the paperwork, including visas, carnet etc, is sent to your door. For a small fee of course. If my experience is anything to go by, then the number of man hours being wasted by us surfing and sorting out this paperwork is huge.

All I want to do is get out there and ride my bike around the world


Today I'm Mr Angry, bah, humbug
