Classic Bike Insurance
« on: March 17, 2020, 09:24:24 AM »
It's that time of the year where I have to look for bike insurance :(

I don't ride to work anymore as I largely work at home - especially at the moment.

Both my remaining bikes - a 1983 Honda C70 Cub/Passport and a 1981 Honda NS50 Melody are getting on a bit. I've let everything else go over the last 12 months to fund work on the house which we are slowly renovating.

Called around a bit. Quotes for £180, £150 to insure the pair of them, which I didn't think was too bad. Made one last call for comparison, and the chap asked if I'd considered classic bike insurance. It hadn't crossed my mind because they're both dogs and I have never really thought of them as classics, just as bikes that happened to survive to 37 and 39 years old.

But, apparently, insuring classic bikes is cheap - £75 for the pair for the year. Whoooooooo!

I wonder if I can get a discount for being a "classic" rider, a 1937 edition.

That'd be good wouldn't it!

Turns out that I can now have classic insurance because I'm over 30 years old... whereas before I owned the same two bikes but was ineligible for classic insurance... it's a funny old system :D

One of the few benefits of getting older!
