"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!
