Two days ago I made an appeal to the social media community to help me find insurance to cover my trip. I have discovered that the red tape that governs our world makes it nearly impossible to take a trip and do it to raise money for a charity unless it is an organised event; you are willing to apply for a business visa; and get special insurance. This is of course if you are trying to raise money for an event outside of your own country of residence.
Fortunately my friend Nicola responded to my appeal. She gave me the details of a specialist Insurance Broker who has been negotiating with insurance companies for me. This is when I discovered my second issue. Most insurance companies will not cover you if you have not held your motorbike licence for at least two years. The word stress comes to mind!
Today Paul told me that apparently one company will cover me. I will get the quote of Tuesday as they need to assess the added risk. I am feeling a whole lot poorer already but absolutely elated that a potential solution, at least to save my trip completely, has been found. Thank you Nicola and Paul!
