Why do you SORN through the winter?

If a bike is tax exempt, it should make no difference should it?

Or am I missing something.

Chris400F:
'Exempt' is something of a misnomer.
You still have to have road tax, it just costs zero.
Of course at zero rate you may as well tax the bike for 12 months of the year rather than maybe
tax for 6 months then SORN it for the other six.

Bryanj:
I think "Historic" only comes in 12 month types

mike the bike:
It's not exempt yet, its only 39 and a half.

Chris400F:
Thanks for the comment Oddjob. If I'd realised that I would maybe have tried again, you live and learn ....
I think I have seen other comments elsewhere about poor service from Honda regarding this sort of enquiry.
In the end I figured that if 400/4s were made from 1975 - 77 then as mine is late in the production run (from
engine and frame numbers) it must be a 77 bike. Put all the information in a letter to the VJMC Dating Service and
got a Dating Letter back which DVLA accepted. Year of manufacture is now recorded by DVLA as 1977, much better
than 1981 as it was shown when I got the bike and hopefully will save me four years of road tax.
