Expat friend of mine in Malaysia is interested in getting insured on one of my bikes or even being part shares owner so he can ride when over here - has anyone got any experience of this, he's been abroad for 25yrs or so & had UK licence from way back when.
Non UK address seems to make insurance company throw a wobble, or is he better just taking out his own insurance when here? If so who's best to talk to? Thanks

That sucks. A mate just asked me if I'd drive his van from the uk to here and back - would be more than a week 
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Couldn't get my sister or BIL insured on our car - Brits but live in Oz. There were no options offered so they had to hire a car - which was no issue

Gonna have a telecon with him tomorrow & wondering if his current insurer can do anything - he has a tiger 1200, duke 1290 & BMW r18b & plenty of experience riding the quite frankly mental roads in Malaysia.

Re: Insuring overseas riders
Get him to take over one of your utility bills as part payment for his share in the bike, use it as proof of address
