Hi all!
I´m working abroad on a temporary basis, so took the opportunity to bring my gorgeous F700GS with me on an adventure to sunny Espana.
However, my work contract has been extended past the 90 days that my insurance covers me fully comprehensive, so although they provide me the minimum cover (third party only, gasp) I´m desperately looking for an option to extend to the full 180 days I can have the vehicle locally on UK plates.
Unfortunately waving cash at my insurer didn´t work (first time for all things right?!) they maintain that I have to bring the bike back into the UK for 24 hours, and then my 90days will reset, which would be exactly the time I need.
I cannot take the time off work to do this though, not to mention the cost.
Anyone have any idea how I can get this resolved?!
Cheers me dears!
PS I have tried local brokers, but as I am not a spanish resident and don´t have a residency number, I am not able to get insurance here.
I am a UK resident, the motorcycle is UK registered and will neither of us will be out of the UK more than 180days as my company does not want to pay for our permenent relocation.
