Getting back to Bikes !! RFL

[Nurse Julie]

But they always have profited from it anyway. If you sent the tax back for a refund you only ever got whole months value back.I think I will try Lynbrook and Bennets when my Insurance is up for renewal. Will definately need a multi policy.

Hi All
I've just had RFL reminder through for my 400, its 58 squids, is that right?. It's more than I pay for the bloody bike insurance which is Fully Comp any bike any size. When does the classic excemption come in ? 

Back at the original query (!) this document explains the VED / RFL exemption stuff:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/293910/TIIN_2507_8011_40_year_rolling_exemption_for_classic_vehicles_.pdf
My 400/4 (a late F2, appears to be a UK model) was for some reason not registered until 1981, although as far as I can find out they were only manufactured from 1975-77.
Year of manufacture from a GOV.UK Vehicle Enquiry was also shown as 1981.
I have just been through the process of getting this changed to 1977 with the help of a dating letter from the VJMC (Honda UK were no help).
So hopefully, as the exemption is supposedly based on year of manufacture, I should qualify a bit sooner.

You insure one and then they charge £30 for everyone added, as long as it is a lower cc.

There are always benefits to getting older, from the insurance point of view that is 

[Bryanj]

Julie, there is old,  methuselah then me, At least that's the way I feel right now after finishing at 06:30 fror the week and booking 60 hours

[Nurse Julie]

Oh dear Bryan. And if they are all night hours then I do know how tiring they can be.

[Clem2112]

Must get another classic insurer I think.

Bike tax is annoying and wrong ! .....I compensate by running a zero taxed car !

[Bryanj]

Julie, for the past 20ish years its been start at 18:30 and finish anything up to 15 hours later.

Remember, if you got it a truck brought it

For reasons that aren't important and not nefarious I was sitting outside Hatfield police station the other Saturday at midnight and noticing the trucks barreling up and down the old A1 (long since bypassed by the tunnel) and I thought to myself, gosh those drivers... where did they journey from and where are they going to; carrying what??

Keep safe Bryan
