Who do you bank with? I have a NatWest Gold account (don't do them anymore) and their free travel insurance covers motorbikes unlike some.

For motorcycle travel I've used these for last few years. Never had to call on their services though so can't comment on that.

Last year I phoned aviva who I've used a lot for package holiday type stuff and asked if there were any exclusions about riding bikes across Europe. He checked policy and said was fine so long as no motorsports and was wearing helmet. No specialist cover of bike itself, but enough to cover my medical in event required.

Post Office silver policy, it covers motorcycles for £20ish?

Check the T&Cs carefully, with some of these "free" policies you get what you pay for...
