Bike trip abroad. Insurance
Discussion
I'm heading to Portugal for a few days riding. The trip will include a track session at Portamao and some road riding around the hills
I won't be using my own bike, but one I'm borrowing.
Do i need special travel insurance in case I come a cropper, or will normal travel insurance cover medical bills etc? I've had a look through and some want to know about winter sports, but no mention of motorbiking being an excluded activity.

Much reading through reams of Policy Documents has shown that a lot (nearly all) travel insurance covers up-to-125cc, a few do under 500cc or under 750cc. They really bury stuff in the smallprint.
Very few (I can only find two) do cover for bigger bikes - the Post Office does up to 1500cc if you take its extra Hazardous Activities cover. And Flexicover actually cover any capacity as standard as long as you have a full motorcycle licence. There may be more but I couldn't find them.
