StartRescue. I pay 40 odd for car and bike, you need to register vehicles as opposed to driver cover. Has a nice phone app.

There will be a bit of a back-lash as the country is somewhat re-organised but nothing which wont straighten itself out after a few months. OUT.

If 1st owner was happy with the bike he would keep it. Esp. after spending such quality time on such an adventure trip. Why is he buying a new one? One dip in a river, one ill-fitting air filter or one long day running low on oil would easily make me decide to get rid. Worth a possible loss of the f...
