A few thousand pounds didn't come near it. It cost up to £20,000 to get the people partly repaired and flown back home and the bike recovered. The repair bill for the bike was over £11,000, and the problems with the disabilities still go on.

As I mentioned in the article all the travel policies offered by bike insurers and BMF, MAG etc cover biking, so there is plenty of choice there. But it is potentially more difficult to get cover for biking and having a burden of health conditions - so thanks for this tip. Different ravek insurers have different medical exclusions, so it certainly pays to shop around if you are stuck with one which doesn't like you particular mixture of health conditions.
