ok a few pointers regarding rallying in europe, i'm no expert but i just don't want to see anyone come unstuck.

Breakdown Cover

if you're only planning one trip into europe then getting single trip cover added to breakdown cover you already have is fine but doing this for more than one trip in a year is a bit expensive.

i use these people they do single trip and annual multi trip cover:-

Health Cover

should the unthinkable happen and you have a medical emergency whilst in europe the last thing you want is a huge bill at the end of it for an air ambulance to get you home or the suchlike......

whilst some travel health insurance may seem ok, does it cover you for motorcycling, some don't,.........

i use this company who provide policies specifically for motorcycles:-

Some good advice there, mate.
Do you have any tips about the legalities of riding in Euroland?
For instance, I've heard that it's now a legal requirement to carry a hi-vis vest at all times and some countries insist that you have a medikit in your scoot.

Any advice would be good as the MaD SC crew are planning a trip to Holland in 2009.
