European break down cover for an old bike

[BillyJ]

RAC want £80.64 for a single trip to France for 5 days..!! Then I laughed and he knocked it down to £56.45...

What's the cheapest place that will cover a bike that's over 30 years old?

Bike is a 1981 CB250RSA

I don't think that I'd bother with cover, especially if it's northern Europe - just go and deal with any problems as they arise. There always seems to be someone around to help if you get stuck.

I'll be taking my CB250 over to Holland at some point. I've already checked on the hondatwins forum to see who might be available for assistance, especially if I need a specific part not normally stocked by garages. It's also an opportunity to meet up for a beer

You really should use the search function

Nationwide PlexPlus current account. Yes it costs £10 a month but you get UK and Euro breakdown cover, travel insurance, commission free cash withdrawals abroad and a few other bits included. Perfect account for touring Europe.

Or ADAC if you want to mess about phoning Germany to join up. I had ADAC cover in the past but stopped when I go the FlexPlus account.

Have you considered insuring it with someone who offers Euro breakdown as standard? Carole Nash, Footman James and Peter James all do it no matter the age of the bike.

The classic insurance I have through Lynbrook includes European and UK travel included in the premium.For my Exup1000 and the FJ1200 it costs me £65 per annum for TPFT

I fancy the Flex account - they're less than my AA cover is now by some £6 per month. It's a shame the nearest NW branch is 8 miles in town and my current current account (ahem) is in the village - a ten minute walk away...

Flex account FTW, for added pikey cheapness open account before trip, close account after.

I did this, cost me £10 and got me recovery off the autobahn, a hotel room for the night and transport to a local dealership who gave me the parts I needed at trade, free use of their workshop, coffee and cake, a free hat and a big bag of sweets for the trip home.

+1 for Carole Nash.

Was quoted £86 by my recovery company for the next 12 months, CN gave me Euro cover for free. (And a multi bike policy half that of Bennets)
