    Most of the usual suspects I am looking at either don't seem to cover
    motorcycling at all anymore or limit it to 125cc.

    What's the FOAK's recommendation for annual multi-trip travel insurance
    including motorcycling?

    Post Office

    Annual cover for Europe £45 - less if you go via Quidco

    They gave me free single parent cover for the boy too.

    The lad was too ill to travel to Austria in July. After paying his
    mercenary GP £25 to fill in a form I sent a claim to Fortis, the
    underwriter. Despite announcing that same day that they were in the shit
    financially, I received a cheque within 10 days. It cleared.

    Recommended.

    Their exclusion text around bikes is..

    "you travelling on a motorcycle over 125cc, unless the rider holds a
    valid licence which lets them ride a motorcycle of more than 125cc;"

    So as long as you've a full licence you're fine.

    We use Direct Travel
    http://www.direct-travel.co.uk/
    Our cover also includes skiing, and IIRC it was about £90 for the two
    of us.

    I use www.snowcard.co.uk for winter sports stuff, with the happy knock
    effect that it covers biking. Not the cheapest mind.

    they're on Quidco now 14%

    Forgot to mention, the Post Office is similar: the rider must have a valid
    licence and the claimant must have been wearing a helmet. No cc limit.

    They're a bit expensive for worldwide w/ US, tho'. Well, most are but
    some come in at around 40-50 whereas PO and most of the others are in
    the 80/90 bracket.

    Indeed, spotted them there last night.
    Which is good compared to most other policies.

    So far I've stuck with http://www.scubasure.com/ since they obviously
    cover diving but were one of the few who also cover motorcycling with
    the usual caveat about having a licence if >125.
