Still a bit vague to me, paragraph 3 needs clarification in writing.

It translates as:
If you rode the bike there from your home area (regardless of the cc) you’re covered. If you didn’t (hire bike) then it can’t be over 125cc.
The awkward double negative phrasing is typical of Ins Companies.

I've just tried and been refused cover due to a medical condition, not sure how you didn't find the medical questionnaire as it's on the first page.

So now I'm looking for annual European cover with medical conditions that won't pull ya pants down, anyone know of such a policy!

Being an old fart with pre-existing health conditions Nationwide Flexplus has kicked me way up in the air with the renewal this year! Hence I wasn’t going to renew next year, but it looks like it’s going to cost me whatver. :(

Steve,I have called numerous so called "motorcycle European cover specialists " and they're all quoting 125 only or no cover due to medical conditions, even if there is no issue's. I eventually found insure&go(underwritten by Zurich)that did me silvercover with motorcycle cover as an added extra(all cc)my conditions listed over the last 2 years(broken leg and resulting lymphodema)listed and it came out at £119.Thats not to be sniffed at so I've taken out the policey :thumb:
Hope it may be of some help.

I should add that's a multi trip policy with 45 days per trip.
