Speak to Ryan Dowling at Travel Utopia - be sure to mention that it will be for travelling on a bike (I assume you will be on a bike) so that he can make sure you will be covered. Very good guy, knows his stuff, he sorted ours out, but we were travelling in a 4x4.

We are Australian residents travelling on two bikes and have been using this company Travel Insurance Australia - Cheap Travel Insurance they told us that they will cover us using motorbikes as our main mode of transport as long as we had full Australian motorbike licences.

Yes I used them too - very cheap and no issue re bikes. Fortunately I did not need to make any claims so I am not sure how well they respond when the going gets tough.
