Hi Guys

I found a couple of threads relating to the above, but they were either old or didn't really have a conclusion.

I am trying to get medical cover for our trip that starts in 2 weeks. Most of the insurance companies only give you travel insurance if the bike is smaller than 200cc. Got a quote from Chartis (the only quote I received after requesting from a couple of companies) and they are only prepared to cover up to R500 000 of emergency medical expenses, which is not too bad. My main concern is I want medical air evacuation if things get really hairy.

Any advice? Who did you use? Were they good?

Thanks
