I had an insurance issue at the border
So I crossed from Estonia to Russia today.
The crossing part was straightforward, if a little slow due to the custom checks on cars ahead of me. I had no checks on my bike.
The issue was getting the basic insurance OSAGO. Alfastrah at the border but they couldn't issue me any despite much tapping on the computer.
When they input Triumph it brought up the old Triumph cars by another manufacturer (no mate.. its a Bonneville not a stag or a spitfire).
Got told they couldn't provide to go and ride to St Petersburg and try my luck there.
Any UK insurer doesn't seem to want to cover Russia despite them joining the green card system.
