So a bit of background:
I'm insured fully comp with Carole Nash. Part of the cover is the fairly standard 90 days Europe cover.
I rode my bike over to our house in Kerry, SW Ireland at the end of May. My mum fell ill and I had to fly back at short notice and cut my trip short. Not a problem, bike locked in our garage and safe.
For various reasons I haven't made it back over to repatriate my steed. I'm planning a trip for the end of this month, so will be a good bit outside the 90 days. I phoned CN to find out where I stood, could I extend the 90 day or top it up etc.
The good news: whilst I can't add/top up my insurance I am covered 3rd party still outside the 90 days (when I'm back in Ireland);
The bad news/gotcha: Because I wasn't in the same country, my bike hasn't been covered AT ALL for the past 70 days I haven't been there. No TPFT even.
So be careful, if you plan to leave your bike somewhere and fly home for a week or two, your bike might not be covered whilst you're not in country.
Was anyone else aware of this?
