First the reason, then the question:
I am due to leave the country, with the bike, mid-July as I am going to be riding the Pan-American Highway from Alaska to Patagonia. I will be flying back from Buenos Aires in December but as the bike is being shipped back by sea that will arrive back in Britain in late January.
When I renewed my current UK bike insurance I was advised that it was probably going to be easiest to simply cancel the insurance in July and start again in January.
So, the question: can I put my current insurance on hold and defer the last four months it will have to run in July until the bike comes back in January?
I suspect the answer is No, but I am trying not to have the insurance, tax, and MoT; all of which will need doing before I can ride it home; all coming up together.
