Guys

Looking at doing 3 days in europe soon and wondered if you have any good recommendations ?

I have 2012 1199S and wanted to make sure it can be returned etc to the UK or repaired if its breaks down... not that it would dare to :D

Not sure on insurance but have you tried BikeShuttle? They get your bike and gear to Geneva in a truck while you fly. Save yourself for the fun bits.

I have my bike insured with Carole Nash which includes basic Euro insurance but I took out their (reasonable) travel insurance too...

However, I did note an interesting Travel insurance for bikers the other day:

Good luck, please post up any good agents.

I bought a policy from Vehicle Rescue Direct a few years ago to cover a weekend away in France/Belgium.
It was under £20 and fortunately I never had to make use of it!

IIRC the policy was underwritten by AXA so plenty of clout behind it.

I have "free" AA with my bank account and the last time I took a bike over I added additional European cover for a small fee (cannot remember how much though). So if you have free uk cover through any odd avenues it may be easier to just extend that?..
