Hi Joe, me and a mate rode through India from Wagah to Goa and back up to Bombay... No insurance!
We even got a couple of Indian friend to try getting us cover... the reply, everywhere was: "we don't insure non-Indian reg bikes"

No sweat. No other bugger seems to have it.
Same problem in Pakistan.
China, they insist on it ;)

Oh Yes. Get a LOUD horn.

I was stopped twice by traffic police road checks and as you are such a novelty, the only thing they wanted to see was the driving licence. The real UK jobbie. Not interested in the IDP at all.
They just logged the name & address on their sheet, shook hands and waved goodbye.

Hey Joe,
 
I'm still "stuck" in Dubai - kind of like it though. borrowing a house here for the rest of the month while waiting for new rider. If it doesn't work out with him I'll ride solo, think I'd prefer it really. So probably not gonna show up in India until late jan. What are your plans?
