There are plenty of travel insurance companies out there that will insure you for medical expences while in the US ,,, But,, not many cover you while  riding a bike over 120 - 200cc .... I dont think many would ride around the US on a fucking Postie bike .....

Those that have been down this road,, could you post up the Companies you used and were happy with .....

To complicate matters ,,, one of the guys going has a pre existing heart condition, (not major, has a pacemaker) ... He got medical cover for his condition while in the US, , but the company does not cover riding  bikes over 120 cc,, so back to square one for him .. He has rung a few that cover you while riding any bike over 200 cc,, but they knocked him back on medical insurance because of his pre existing condition..    He does not want to take a punt while riding in the US , as the medical expences, (if he has a spill), could be huge .....Any help / advice would be appreciated ...... Cheers ....

Mark. Try this mob. We used them a couple of years ago for our Canada trip.

Different ride to go on the bucket list [ USA on a postie bike ? ] sent you a PM.

Thanks lads for the info and advice .....

Still on track with the trip Mark ? all the crew sorted by now.

Yes lads ,, everything is sorted ..... In six weeks I will be putting my leg over a 2017 M8 Ultra Limited, with stage 1 ... I was suprised for a rental bike that they would have a stage 1 set up.. But this has been confirmed ... At least we wont be riding around to the sound of a sewing machine....  Picking up bikes at Red Deer Canada ...  One week riding over and around the Canadian Rockies ...  Then down south to USA for one week .... A bit of R @ R ,, for a week ,,, so all up three weeks .....  As Big Kev said in his Ads ,,,,  IM EXCITED  !!!!!!!

Put Glacier NP on the list just over the border Mark, I'll give you a call before you take off, very exciting stuff, cheers.

Only 1 company in OZ will cover you for loss of excess of rental vehicle for a motorcycle. And I am assuming there will be an excess payable if you bend it.

Sorry,

I used covermore when i went to thailand as they covered bikes. In the end i rented a little susuki 4wd, fuck riding a motorcycle in Thailand.

Koh samui was where i was at the time. I wouldn't ride there. Koh Chang would be different, i'd happily ride a scooter there.

Good to here that you and your travelling crew had a great adventure, look forward to some photos being posted, welcome back !
