When riding a motorbike does any one know of a company that includes you when your touring abroad on your motorbike?
So i need insurance to cover the usual things that can happen.

Its a few years since we last toured abroad, but I can remember we used to take out a separate insurance policy to cover us and it wasn't particularly cheap.
Our standard bike insurance only covered us third party outside the UK, so it would have kept us legal didn’t touch the medical or bike repatriation that we wanted.
Fortunately we never needed any of it.
How much you spend depends on your risk appetite 🙂

Defo be careful reading carefully the small print re engine size etc

A friend & his wife had an off a couple of years ago whilst on holiday. He hired a scooter and had a major off. They were both injured and if crowd funding hadn’t taken place they would have been in a sticky situation.

They had to pay for all sorts of things in order to get home. Including medical staff, transport etc etc
