"Here is a good link of the better known UK travel insurance offerings. Make sure you read the small print to make sure you're covered as a biker. It might also be a good idea to e-mail them if you have any questions on what is/what's not covered before you buy, to beef up you legal position if you do claim. Some of the people on the helpdesks told me bikes weren't covered, although it said so in the small print."

"With STA Travel's Premier insurance you have the most extensive cover available."22 Aug/08 - POST by Susan Johnson: STA's policy includes the following under Adventure Sports covered:"Motorcycle Touring, Motorcycling up to 125cc where the appropriate licence is held, where claims and convictions free for previous 3 years and where wearing a helmet"
When queried about the difference between these two items on 22 Aug/08, and after checking with a supervisor, I was advised that 'Motorcycle Touring' means travelling with an organised tour company, BUT the restriction on 125cc still holds! This on a policy that covers Mountaineering, Heliskiing, Caving, Parapenting and about 100 other activities :-(
We're leaving this entry here, as if you are going RTW on a 125cc bike or smaller and have the appropriate licence you should be okay to get coverage. Meanwhile, we will write to the company and tell them their policy is absurd!

"Comprehensive Travel Insurance for the Adventurous Traveller Downunder & World Wide". Offer a range of medical insurance policies for residents of Australia, NZ or UK
Also claim to offer vehicle insurance for non-UK residents, but upon inquiry, they don't include motorcycles in their definition of vehicles. Boo! Hiss!
