Cheapest quote for me so far is from "Bike Team", some 70 quid less
than Auntie Carole. Phones CN to see if they could match it, but they
couldn't get close.

CN also bundle the roadside recovery in the deal, works out better in
alot of cases.

Yeah, the recovery (which covers Europe too) is quite a draw. Not sure
if it's worth 70 quid, tho.

I had the CB recovered off the motorway twice in a year. That made it
worthwhile having.

It's not, not unless you're going to be longer in Europe than 14 days,
perhaps someone with an CN policy can check restriction on their euro
cover.

AA cover for all the bikes and cars I have, £104.

A broken throttle cable immobilised me (on a 'FOT). Trying to find any
cable inners, universal, Guzzi or otherwise on a Sunday afternoon with
everyone helping (esp. Pip, Monz and Stritchy) was impossible. So it was
worth having.

.... and I didn't have to take any additional insurance for the Frankfurt
trip or for the forthcoming Africa Raid.

They were certainly able to provide the cheapest quote to me - by over 10%.
