Re: 12 months European insurance cover....

Just to confirm I tried the Forces insurance and they confirmed that they do not do motorcycle cover, nor does SHAPE as such. I don't know if it's possible to close this link as I will convert the bike to Belgium plate as I have confirmed I can ride it as much in the UK as I wish once converting the...

Re: 12 months European insurance cover....

Hi,

thanks for the response, Stuart Collins is the broker I use for the car. I have not heard of nor has anyone ever mentioned Forces insurance, but then I am not linked to the Military.

Thanks

bring on the sun....

Hi, Time to get social, I've been riding a number of years over 30, I've ridden a little motox ( I was sooooo slow), also the odd (very odd) beach race, am a lapsed member of the TRF (my bad). I've motorbiked through bits of Europe on and off road, currently running a very battered Africa Twin 750 R...
