Travel insurance, to include racing.
I'm off to the States for a month, and am planning on racing while I'm there, and doing a trackday too (Boxing day at Laguna Seca!).

Problem is, I'm having a hell of a time getting any travel insurance that will cover me for any kind of motorcycle racetrack activity.

It seems that alot of companies are removing it from their policy cover.

Does anyone have any info on where I might obtain such cover?..surely is HAS to be available?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

if you crash you go down the road and say you fell over

If you are going to race abroad, then you will need a start permission from the ACU.

In the manner in which we organised the trip to Assen this includes insurance, medical expenses and repatriation costs for the rider.

If you need any help get in touch.

If you dont get a start permission then you are going to have some serious trouble with the ACU com renewal time

CICA do personal accident cover too, which will cover you in the UK, USA and the Commonwealth.

Chris, are you still an agent for them?

If not, have a look here Otei.

I'm with them, and the service is brilliant (sadly from experience!)

Otei...you git I'm desperate to go back to the States, take me, take me!

You'll love Laguna, I got taken round there on the back of a loony ex 250 racer with a trick SV650 The Corkscrew is even more incredible than it looks, it lifted me off the back seat everytime we dropped down it, awesome!
