They cover any motorcycle regardless of the CC (we're taking a wee strom 650cc). This is for overland motorcycle touring with the intention of staying on the road not going through sahara etc. - basicaly it means that you will not go where any motorised vehicles shouldn't go - we're not planning to. In addition to this the policy covers you for sporting activities and working. It also includes med evac so if it is required for you to be flown out of the country for medical assistance it is covered - overall you're covered for £5,000,000.
The policy will only cover you not what/who you damage - so if you crash into somebody only you will be covered and anything you've done to the person you crashed into you'll have to cover on your own. The policy is £37.50 per month per person. They do up to 18 months policy with an option of renewal. We'll be taking a 12months policy for £450 per person.
If there is a similar policy outthere giving the same thing for less please let us know! We're UK residents if it makes any difference.
Stay safe!

Phoned up 1 Stop Travel Insurance - they only offer 12 months policy. You have to use public roads (whatever that means), wear a helmet and no racing  After the policy expires you need to get back to uk to get it renewed - you need to be in uk - this would mean that at that point we'd have to get a different policy issued in the country we are in or something. Not interested.
Thanks for the info though!
Andy

I went with 1stoptravelinsurance for £160 GBP / year worldwide coverage. It recently finished and as earlier said they only extend when you get back to the UK.
So I went with Navigatortravel.co.uk
It was possible to take out the insurance from overseas.
Cheers,
Frank

This sounds like a good deal. £160 is really not bad. The cover is quite substantial. I will give them a call later on today and see exactly what they offer.
Thanks!

Navigator Travel
Hi Folks,
I have lurked on this site for a couple of years now but I have finally got my sh1t together and am off to Asia in November.
I really enjoyed the Donnington get together this year.
What an inspiring bunch you are.
I have just spoken to Richard at Navigator and he pointed me towards their "silver" policy for up to 18 months at a premium of £511
Is this a good deal? I'm a 54 year old male in good health.
