ebikeinsurance will insure you for 365 days any where in Europe so long as your home address is in the UK, and they are relatively cheap. Having unfortunately recently had occasion to make a claim I can also vouch for their efficiency in handling it. They don't cover North Africa though. I believe you can buy insurance for Morocco at the border, I'm sure others on here know about the other African countries you might want to go to.

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.
