No medical bills cover, EHIC card may help, but you won't be repatriated. Get yearly insurance that covers motorcycle riding as many list motorcycling as an extreme sport and don't cover it. Any pre existing medical conditions?
I rarely carry any bike security, just try and choose hotels or camp sites that allow me to park the bike near the room or secure parking.

please can I ask for some touring advice on behalf of my dad who's heading to Spain in the summer?
1) He has motorcycle insurance, which covers 90 days in Europe. Having a look at the policy, we don't think this covers medical bills if anything happened but it would cover bike damage/theft etc. Can anyone recommend an insurer for this please? He pays for Staysure worldwide travel insurance each year, but this doesn't cover bike touring. Edit - think it is just a money supermarket 'motorcycle travel insurance' job £20ish
He also rang his insurance company about whether he needs to take his chain as well as disc lock (the bike also has data tag and BMW's immobiliser); they couldn't give a definitive answer (lol). Will he need to lug that around? Guessing most of you don't take a chain to tour.
Thanks!
