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!
