Spoonman i have got european breakdown insurance with my insurance which is through Carole Nash. Everybody who insures through Carole Nash gets this if you insure with them. You just have to tell them where and when you are going.
When i was in France last year I had a nasty incident with my beloved CB1300s which meant staying in a French Hospital and having a operation. Of course i took an E111 which covered me but i was also using the travel insurance which i pay for with my Nat West bank account and they were brillant arranging a flight home and then a Taxi home from the airport which was sixty miles. They also took care of various bills that the French hospital sent me afterwards.
One note of caution if you or anybody have this travel insurance with the bank they only cover you if you have a clean licence which i found out in the Hospital bed. Luckily i did.
This information may be of some help or totally useless to you but i would love to see some photos when you get back if you would be kind enough to post.
