DO I NEED BREAKDOWN INSURANCE?

It’s sensible, just for peace of mind. If you have a new bike, check to see if it comes with Europe-wide roadside assistance (some do). Make sure you get cover with repatriation – to get you AND the bike back to Britain. Shop around - we’ve found prices vary wildly. And check the small print - we’ve seen policies which insist you buy cover for the whole trip from home to home, not just the time you’re abroad. Try and save the cost of a day’s cover at each end and you can find yourself with no cover at all.
