One of my mates has dropped out of the ring trip

is sean with us or not any look with the boat peeps

 

I am not sure mate, waiting for Daz really. Cant pay that amount on my own.

 

ok peeps three weeks to go :thumbsup: a couple of questions do you need to tell the insurance were you are goin in europe ie the ring or say nothin about it and and when should i let them now and do thay charge? what breakdown cover are u takin out and who with ie aa green flag or some one els and what med insurance are you takin out ? are you gunner just cross your fingers and hope F@@k all goes wrong aperbag:

 

I'm not going :cry: but might be able to help you out with these:

You will need European insurance cover otherwise you'll be paying for someone else's vehicle if you hit it(as well as damage to your own if you're fully comp) plus Euro breakdown cover for a short stretch. I don't think you'll be covered for riding the ring so don't bin it but I may be wrong about that cos it's classed as a Highway?? (Daz will know) Med insurance: a bit late to apply now but a Euro medical card (forms at the Post Office) will cover you, failing that check bank accounts and credit cards for travel cover for personal belongings, medical etc. or take some out for the duration of the trip.

 

for foreign track day medical insurance: trackcover.com 01270848708, ask for Jonathan Hill. Its about £50 for 5 days and will definately cover medical bills / repatriation if needed.

 

you need to tell them your going to holland an Germany but don't say the ring, also ring your insurance and get euro aa or rac cover for a week covering the dates.

Jobs a good un

 

I checked with my insurance(swinton) they said i was allready covered for 37 days(odd i know) per year riding in europe, and that just to ring them 10 days before i go, I got travel insurance with my bank account but just to be sure i took some out with the post office cost 20 quid so worth having, I do also have green flag with my car insurance but i intend on checking about europe cover.
The only thing i dont know is if you have to carry the log book as proof of ownership(i know some places you do) other than that im going to take my mot, insurance, licence, pasport, travel insurance cert,and my green e111 card.

I dont know anyone going(apart from DAZ) but theres a lot of us so we should be able to muggle through a drunken weekend................. i mean a riding weekend between us.

My moto HOPE FOR THE BEST, PREPARE FOR THE WORST! and you'l not go far wrong

Daz could do with comming up with a list for us(I know your busy) of stuff we should really carry apart from the obvious beer tokens. :thumbsup:

 

So tried to ring my green flag company(will try again later) but i decided to try and get some quotes for europian cover to get me and bike back to the uk, i quoted for single trip 96 quid for 5 days i now feel like iv been raped

 

hi pal are you saying u payed £96 or you were just quoted £96 i havnt done anything yet i have my euopean health insurance card am going to ring my insurance next week am with mce on my insurance certificate only says for liechtenstein/norway,iceland,croatia/switzerland no mention of holland germany?

 

allreet pal, did i fook pay 96 quid,il swallow sperm before i pay that :thumbdown: . my insurance asked me where i was going i said from hull through belgum germany holland and back they said for m to carry my insurance certificte with me other than that have a nice trip :thumbsup:

 

are we all ready and set to go? daz hve u got the root sorted out yet and were were meetin up?

 

Well was gonna get my head round it all tomorrrow but gotta go to work now lol, Ill post all the details on Weds so were all clear on whats happening.

 

I'm not sure where most are coming from, but I was going to suggest meeting at Birch services (Eastbound) on the M62 at an appropriate time. Saves anyone from doubling back on themselves, and it's likely that everyone would need to pass through that way anyway.

What time's the ferry Daz? Need to vote in the morning

 

Well I was gonna go via the woodhead pass then turn up towards Holmfirth where 4 of the lads who are coming with us live. So was going to suggest that we could all meet on the Services on the M6 at Warrington its just before the M56 junction then we can head up past Manchester Airport.

 

That's much further for me. I wouldn't mind but I've only got 940 miles until it's due a service and every extra mile traveling means fewer laps of the ring

I could meet you further up the M62.

 

Bloody hell ya tight wad get the service done early, its only Oil n Filter isnt it? Well the plan was to ride via Doncaster then up to Hull, its a bit easier & more fun!! than going straight up the Motorway. But its up to you if you like you can meet us at Hull or the Services at the Junction of the M62 A1 if ya like?

 

I've serviced it myself anyway a couple of hundred miles ago. Still need to have it done by a certified mechanic on schedule for the warranty. Not going to have it done 1000 miles early when I've only just done it anyway

 

I covered 900 miles last time round Alex so cant see you doing more than that bud

 

In fact, let me know the details of where your mates will be congregating in Holmfirth and I'll meet you all there.

Why not do this route from Doncaster to Hull?

 

M6 services is good, right on the M56. Be good to go over the tops if its dry but don't really fancy it if its a wet one.
