I'm Australian wanting to buy a touring bike (honda st13000 pan european or bmw rt 1200) to ride around the UK and Europe. I cant find an insurance company that will insure a bike for a non-permanent resident. ive tried Carole Nash and Lexums along with some smaller companies. I have an open motorcycle licence for over 30 years have a large bike insured in Australia with no claims and several other insurance policies in Australia. no driving convictions. My licence is legel to ride in the UK and Europe. Does anyone know how I can get insurance in for a UK registered motorcycle? the obsticles they put up are Im not a resident for more than 12 months and/or not a permanent UK resident. surely there must be a legal way for temporary residents to drive or ride teir own vehicle in this country? please post suggestions on how to solve this problem.
