Careful when ordering e111/ehics (and other governent id-y stuff) some web companies are paying to appear higher up in google and charging a small fee for services you wouldn't normally have had to pay for...if you'd....'gone direct gov' (http://direct.gov.uk)...

[DarrenSV650S]

That's what I said

sort of

[Dave20046]

oops sorry somehow missed your second one, it was the tell insurance you're going that reminded me HSBC threw a paddy when I tried to use my card abroad (and that's despite telling them :rolleyes: )

[DarrenSV650S]

Joking ;)

What did they do?

[Dave20046]

stopped the account saying it was fraudulent activity.

[DarrenSV650S]

That must have been handy!

I didn't actually have to use my cards when I was away on the bike. Just had them in case of emergencies

[Dave20046]

Yeah, this was an emergency; as you say I found it very handy.
I'd have been impressed if I hadn't told them I was going to greece and if I didn't need the money.

[jacksuzukisv650]

[jacksuzukisv650]

[jacksuzukisv650]

health insurancee????????

[dizzyblonde]

Travel insurance that actually covers you for your bike. Some only do upto 125cc. Riding a motorcycle is described as an extreme sport :rolleyes:

[jacksuzukisv650]

oh cheers for that ill keep that in mind ! any one no any chance any insurance companys

[Tim in Belgium]

Carole Nash can provide this type of holiday cover I believe.

[dizzyblonde]

yes they do, I've used it. It also covered my ex partner on the same policy.
Apparently the Post Office have started doing it too, but you'd have to ask them, as last time I did research they didn't.

France - cash for on the spot fines and toll roads.

Spain - yellow high-vis jacket (might not appy to bikes).

Switzerland - motorway sticker.

Germany - don't mention the war or bailing out greece.


Take a look here: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/atoz.html for motoring related stuff.

[Tim in Belgium]

Switzerland, cross the border not via a motorway, then use the motorways FOC without a sticker, run the risk ;)

[jacksuzukisv650]

i dont understand why do you need a sticker in switzerland

[keith_d]

You should have a sticker if you're going to use the motorways, but there are perfectly servicable minor roads if you're not in a hurry.

The Swiss are quite picky about people sticking to their laws. So I wouldn't want to give them an excuse to stop me and impound my bike.

[jacksuzukisv650]

i dont fink i will be using many toll roads at all but you have gota use some eles it take ages unless u got a gixxer thou llol

[ricky]

when you find travel insurance that covers the bikes over 125 report back please, and also the breakdown cover

as these are two things i need to sort out hahaha

[jacksuzukisv650]

most import thingss

[Luckypants]

when you find travel insurance that covers the bikes over 125 report back please,

Plenty of them do, but you have to pay a supplement. Cannot remember who I was with last, but I was covered for big bikes as standard.

Been using the Post Office for a few years for (big)bike trips abroad. http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1?catId=19300208&mediaId=19500189 bikes under Sports and Activities.

Phone your insurance company to let them know you are going abroad and ask them if they do euro breakdown cover, a lot of them do.

:)

[jacksuzukisv650]

yeah ive got eurobreak down cover already thats sorted..
