Not an answer to your question… but I usually swap insurance between Carole Nash and Mackenzie Hodgson (who are Carole Nash by another name) simply to take advantage of their ‘free’ euro cover.  
Having had a pal who took a pretty innocuous tumble only to break his collarbone and get ‘stuck’ in France for a month however, it’d be a handy resource.  
Access to tools, bike storage, and the benefits of ‘local knowledge’ would be a useful resource.  
(In the meantime, if you get stuck in Grimsby let me know.!)

The club used to issue a rescue register many years ago, but I assume that had to be discontinued due to Data Protection regulations.  
Pete Morecombe from Guzzi Reboot, based in Brittany, did travel down to the Pyranees to rescue someone with a burnt out clutch an an old Guzzi Spada earlier this year. Service way beyond the call of duty.

Check out “Bunk a biker”. It’s a great resource for finding help and even a bed for the night all over the world. Elaine and I were told about it by a Danish lady we met at the ABR festival this year. Basically you register as a host that can offer anything from a garage and tools to do a service , through to space on a couch for a night, or help recovering a downed bike. One registered (it’s free) you can then access their database of hosts. There are several in the uk and hundreds worldwide.
