Travel Insurance - Morocco June 2010

Will only dip into N.Africa briefly but was chatting to a guy at Bristol and West Classic Bike Show last weekend who stated Carole Nash do Travel Insurance - near global cover - 80 quid for years cover. I could do with travel insurance so I'll give them a call. There was a CN stand at the show but guess what - they couldnt help me! If anyone knows a company doing similar then post away.
Thanks to all.

I have used CN for Travel Insurance (including Moroc)
Didn't need to use it so can't say how good it is.

My mate mashed his leg in Tailand a few months back and his insurance did all of what you'd want them to do. I'll find out who he used and post here.

Insurance and other stuff

Hey thanks for that. Also a big thanks to Tim Cullis. His extraordinary work documenting the D16TER forms are really appreciated. As I continue to prepare for my first "big" trip I'll post here the equipment lists, paperwork and any Tiger 955i related bumf regard bike prepping. The big one is breakdowns - as I'm no mechanic any info to ease the pain if anything should happen would be good. All I need to do is get Tigger back to Algeciras and as last resort kick in the EU breakdown assist.
Big thumbs down to eBike - very unhelpful and I wish I'd contacted Saeed at CN as other here have before renewing.
Roll on June!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
