Can anyone recommend a company (or companies) for European cover for breakdowns for my ageing though well preserved bike (2013) and travel insurance including riding said bike for my ageing and not so well preserved body. Seems that they are wanting stupid money or dont want to know.

I don’t know if you still can, but you could get euro cover from the ADAC group. Although primarily German, they’d provide full euro cover. However, age and value of bike will likely be an issue as pretty much without exception, the limit on repatriation will be the value of the bike if the breakdown requires it.
No idea with the travel insurance as I haven’t been over on the bike for several years. The only suggestion I can make is to try Adrian Flux. A lot of our RoSPA lot are a: old and b: head off to Europe on a regular basis and often mention Adrian Flux.
2004 Galaxy Blue. Owned since 486 miles.Renthal 755 bars, Bagster tank cover, Oxford heated grips, DL650 hand guards, Double Bubble screen, Scorpion Rad guard, Gel pad insert, HLD undertray, Angry Badger tailtidy, Roadsmart 4s, Givi E21s, E46 topbox, Ohlins shock and YSS cartridge emulators Currently not fitted - PC3, Remus Revolutions.

Carole Nash let me down badly - I called from Spain about a stretched chain sawing through my TL1000R swingarm and they deemed that was negligence and not an accident. They would not assist at all. I sorted it myself with a new chain and a few days layover.

As above, i thoroughly do not recommend carole.
They independently lied to both me'sen and dandy about our travel insurance and where it covered...leaving us in the no mans land atwix countries.
They then "lost" the evidence of the recorded calls hohohooooo. But unfortunately for them i had evidence of what was said.
Soo...yeah. not carole.
Also beware the small print such as "recovery to value of x% of bike value".
