#7Poor SD must have a bad reputation if ppl start to take out cover....
I carry the ktm tools and a puncture repair kit as once out of town here here is no cell phone coverage and nobody help for miles....
Might have to rethink my strategy...

#8If you are looking for personal cover and are not likely to take more than 2 vehicles abroad, Britannia are the best. Most breakdown drivers will recommend them too.
I have a family personal (covers people in any vehicles) membership covering 5 vehicles (all with euro cover) through NCI.

"However I was more than grateful on a few occassions that I had cover, once my throttle cable snapped in the middle of nowhere despite being free and easy to operate the throttle, it just pulled the nipple off the end of the cable, there was no way I could have fixed that."
Happened to me loads of times. What I used to do was to strip off the outer cable, feed the inner over some handy bit of frame, tie the rest of the cable round your leg just above the knee. That way you just ride like normal but flap your leg open to accelerate. Blipping the throttle on down changes makes you look pretty funny from behind though. Mates pissing themselves laughing. This was in the days of one throttle cable though - none of this complicated loop and shut off cables.
The weak point on a KTM LC4 is the clutch cable. Nipple came of at least 6 times in 5 years I owned that bike. After the second time I used to just ride around with a spare taped along in parallel with the one in use, that way it was always there when needed.
There's always a way!
