Re: Travel insurance

https://www.holidaysafe.co.uk/bn/ insure up to 79 years of age. I'm assuming you just mean travel insurance and not road risk insurance. By third party accident cover do you mean your liability to others? The bike insurance would cover that, The holidaysafe insurance would have third-party public l...

Travel insurance

Hi, I've searched the topics but can't find an answer to this so here goes, I'm off to Malaysia in February to rent a bike & do a bit of travelling around. I'm looking for travel insurance which covers a larger bike, probably 650cc or thereabouts, BUT all the ones I've seen don't cover you if yo...

Re: Peage procedures

I use Sanef for my peage sensor jobbie - saneftolling.co.uk Their site is in English and you can nominate an English bank account. Easier than an easy thing. I travel all the way from Calais to the Frejus Tunnel (near Lyon) and it's motorways all the way. My bill, for the French motorways, on my las...

Re: Corsica

I've booked ferry from Livorno (near Pisa) to Bastia on the NE coast of Corsica, about 3 hours and €148 euro for two of us in a van which I didn't think was bad although that is one way. I will probably travel from Civitavecchia to Olbia, ride around the island for a couple of days, and then catch ...

Re: Plans for 2018?

Quite a lot of plans this year (following a couple of replacement knees) but how many will actually come to pass..... Vietnam, Mynamar and Thailand in February/March - booked. Trip down to my place in Italy in April/May - pretty certain as I want to spend more time there this year. Quite liked the a...

Re: Corsica

Let me know how you get on.

I'm going to go down to my place in Italy (Abruzzo) on the bike later in the year and fancy a trip back via Sardinia and Corsica. Any info would be appreciated, especially good routes around the island and ferry details.

Thanks (in advance)

Re: Traffic Management

The point I was trying to make is that, once a road is closed due to an (invariably fatal) accident, there seems to be no contingency planning regarding what to do with the traffic which builds up because of it, especially on a major trunk route. Surely, to protect the general public, other motorist...

Re: Traffic Management

What bugs me most about so called 'traffic management' is the complete lack of it when there's an accident on a major roadway. Just last night (coming back from Motorcycle Live) I got caught up in the shambles caused by an accident in the Blackwall Tunnel (to the east of that London, for the more ru...

Re: Motorcycle Live

Just got back (train from London) and thought it was excellent. Managed to buy the jacket I wanted at 25% discount, looked at the bikes I was interested in (where else can you compare bikes all in the same place?). Saw the Birchall brothers being interviewed, as well as a few other 'celebs". If...
