Hey Dafydd
Like Greg says, most fully comp insurances cover you for europe.
My Carole Nash insurance also includes european breakdown too.
Also like Greg says, don't forget you E111.
Takes 2 -3 weeks so get the form from the Post Office â„¢ asap.
There is a phone number on there and if you call it, you may be able to sort it over the phone (I did) and it arrived in about 3 days!!
When you ride over there, expect EVERY bike to wave at you.
As you're on the wrong side of the road, left hand waves to left hand.
The coolest guy is the one who acknowledges the other rider with the minimum movement
You might get a hand wave, you might get a raised finger - no, NOT like that!!!
If you move over for a faster bike to go past or if you are overtaken anyway, the usual way of thanking the other rider / car is to stick your leg out.
Seriously!
First time you see it you'll think WTF??
It's dead easy - just think backwards!
Turn right is OK, turn left is across oncoming traffic.
Islands are OK, just don't practice going the wrong way round until you get over there!!
Mainland Europeans are usually MUCH more bike savvy than this country.
