I know there are quite a few people here who take their bikes out of North America.
I’m going to take a bit of a sabbatical from work in this spring/summer (I just need to decompress after all this COVID stuff, and having to spend the last 9 months with Her Indoors… LOL). I have been looking at looking at some trips with a friend. We are considering Canada’s North and Alaska or possibly Europe.
Of course, the whole thing is COVID dependent although I’m supposedly booked for my first COVID shot in January. We will see about that one. My concern with Canada at the moment is that my Brother told me that its looking like Q3/4 2020 as the earliest vaccines will be available en mass so I'm not sure how that will impact mobility.
Anyway, I’ve ridden in Europe a number of times, but I have always rented. Since this will be longer, it will be cheaper to ship my own bike but that means that I have to arrange insurance.
For those of you that do a lot of travelling outside the US and Canada, how or with whom do you arrange that? I would be looking for comprehensive on the bike with good liability and probably health as I’m sure if I take off from work my coverage will stop. Assume it would be 3 months
I know there is a bunch of other paperwork I have to obtain, but right now I’d just like to get a ball park budget going.
Thanks in Advance
