Euro cover for a bike over 15 years old
I'm off to Europe for 2 weeks on my faithful old ZZR on Sunday. Just rang up my breakdown company (recsuemybike.com) to extend my cover:
"no problem sir, what year is your bike?" "1994" "Oh dear, I'm afraid we can't cover a bike of that age" It appears no one will. Now it has never broken down on me other than little electronic niggles that I can sort at the side of the road. I don't expect it to break down but if I drop it and it's not ridable then I'm bu**ered. Has anyone managed to find breakdown cover for older bikes. the only quote I got was the AA at £150 for 16 days!!!! |

Normally your insurance company will recover your bike in the event of an accident.
Breakdown cover only covers mechanical failure. I think anyway, check with your insurance company.

I'm only TPF&T so insurance wont cover it. My UK breakdown cover will recover me in the event of an accident - I specifically added that to the policy for £5 when i took it out. |
