Dah! We were talking about travel insurance . We know we also need breakdown cover (well maybe not us Honda riders ) and vehicle insurance for Europe.

I'm guessing

1. V5
2. Insurance Documents
3. European Health Card thingy

Now my GSXR has a projector beam headlight and doesnt use a conventional bulb so do I need to worry about spare bulbs for it ?? or the rest of the bike ?

I've read some other stuff about a warning trianlge and first aid kit ( like I have room for a warning triangle anyway )

If I get a rear number plate with the EU logo with GB in the middle of it is that sufficent or is it not really needed.

I'm also going to take

Spare Alarm keyfob and battery
Bottle of Scotoil
Tools
Puncture repair kit
I've got one of those fixerpeg jobbies as well

Any other useful tips or advice I would be grateful for...

Cheers

Add to your list:-
Flourescent waist coat must be carried in case you break down (this is anew rule).
MOT certificate
Spare bulbs

You only need 3 things: passport, pile of cash and some toilet paper. If you were born right or married right you only need 2 things...
