About this deal

Contrary to popular wisdom you do NOT need to carry a spare bulb kit… although it's not a bad idea anyway.

The first 5 letters are from your family name, unless there’s not that many letters in your name in which case any shortfall will be filled by a 9. You need a full UK motorcycle licence to ride in Europe. The Compulsory Basic Training(CBT) assessment isn't enough. Even derestricted motorways still carry an advisory limit of 130km/h (80mph) – if you ride faster, you accept the consequences if it all goes wrong, and you also expose yourself to prosecution for even minor driving faults. The good news is that because the Government has reached an agreement with the 27 EU member states, we can ride in those countries without the need for an international driving licence. This also applies to Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, but only as long as you’ve got a photocard licence. A very popular destination for UK bikers with great scenery, fine roads, excellent beer and the opportunity to go as fast as you want, legally. What's not to like? Well, not that much, but as you might expect those high speeds come with a warning…We didn’t have any photos of someone having fun riding in Switzerland, so here’s another one from Spain A puncture kit is well worth having too, but completely pointless unless you know how to use it, so make sure you practice a couple of times on an old tyre before you go.

Old style ones include a GB identifier with the Union flag, the Euro flag, any national flag for England, Wales, or Scotland. The motorcycle must not be derived from a vehicle of more than double its power. So you can’t ride a Ducati Panigale V4R that’s been restricted to 35kW After the date comes your initials, unless you’ve only got one initial in which case the second character is replaced by a 9. If you have a paper driving licence, or a licence issued in Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey or the Isle on Man then you may need an international driving permit. As your motorbike will be loaded up, this changes your machine’s performance. So, anticipate that braking and acceleration might be slower and less responsive. Be respectful of local traffic laws

Does my motorcycle insurance policy include European breakdown cover?

Standard comprehensive motorbike insurance policies tend to give you third-party cover in Europe for up to 90 days. This covers other riders and their property, not your own. In January 2021, as part of the post-Brexit fallout, the old ‘Euro’ number plate which showed the EU stars symbol, was replaced with a new plate showing the Union flag and a GB symbol. Every comprehensive UK motorbike insurance policy should have some basic measure of EU cover. But some policies might be more generous than others. This also means that if your motorbike is stolen while riding abroad, your policy might not cover you. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The majority of people drive to France blissfully unaware of most of the rules of the road there, that differ from the UK.
