Insurance
Woes
June
14, 2011
As of
late, finding insurance for a BikeShare member on your bike
has gone a bit sideways. This can vary from country to country.
This is not a new phenomenon as it does fluctuate. I suspect
the tight economy has caused underwriters to tighten their belts
a bit. A new member discovered this and I found securing Green
Card (third party) insurance a little troublesome also.
The
general thinking is European Union (EU) Insurance carriers do
not want to write any coverage for non EU riders. However, it
is done everyday for commercial car/motorcycle rental companies.
I am
hoping this is a temporary situation. For possible alternatives
see the article to the right regarding Knopf
Tours. |

As I
mentioned in the statement to the left, Insurance has gone a
bit tricky at the moment and it is hard to tell how long that
will be. In the interim what can you do?
After
having trouble securing Green Card Insurance for my motorcycle
with my last carrier, Motorcycle
Express, they suggested I speak with Knopf
Tours in Heidelberg, Germany.
Stefan
Knopf, at Knopf Tours, was a great help and go things sorted
out in no time. After looking farther into the web site I found
many other helpful resources and services.
They
offer up:
- Tours
- Rentals
- Motorcycle Transport
- Motorcycle storage
- Health Insurance
- Roadside Assistance
- Green Card insurance
- B&B in the
house
- Camping
I noticed his company
sometime ago through the BMWMOA Magazine and finally
had the opportunity to do business with Stefan. With the current
insurance complications, and his wide range of services, Stefan
might be a good person to turn to.

There is a nice thread about looping through Labrador, Nova
Scotia, New Foundland and Quebec. READ

Blue
Strada Tours
 In
the BikeShare spirit of problem solving we are not always the
right answer at the right time. However, this doesn't mean we
don't want you to get out there and explore. On your, "Bucket
List" you should have the Blue Ridge Mountains and the
great roads in the area. Blue Strada Tours and Bill
Kniegge are a worthwhile alternative to what we offer. Read
