The benefits of getting older

[Slenver]

Here is my list of the benefits of getting older:

1. Cheaper vehicle insurance
2.

I re-insured my Super Duke this weekend. £94! Plus £25 cashback through Quidco, so £69 in real terms. For a 170bhp bike. Fantastic.

Sadly I didn't have any tax, and couldn't buy any tax cos I didn't have any MOT, so didn't get to ride it in the end. So it was a bit of a fail after all, but still.. look at my cheap insurance etc.

I can now afford the bikes and things i want

Mainly with the money saved from insurance

Sadly I didn't have any tax,

Ah bugger, I knew I forgot to do something before I went out on Saturday

[Noggin]

The only real benefit for me so far was being old enough to get an earlier vaccine than most of my friends

Far more disadvantages so far. Maybe I’ll call the insurance company to get a quote to see if that cheers me up!!!

Don't you worry about all that tax and mot bollocks. Just get it up on t'back wheel.

[Skub]

Not having to work,so I can ride when the roads are virtually empty.
Just back from a 160 mile trip on a Tuesday morning.

TBH, if the tax had run over I wouldn't be concerned. Likewise the MOT. But as it had neither and therefore invalidated the insurance, I figured missing all 3 was too much to risk

What you want is a Q-plate, daytime only MoT and TPO insurance; that's the hard man's trinity.

Enjoy that benefit, it won't last! When you start getting really old insurance starts going up again. And you dare not ride/drive abroad, because travel insurance is unaffordable or just plain unavailable.

As soon as i left plod and put "retired" on my insurance it shot up to double on every vehicle as i no longer got the "professional trained driver" reduction ...... i started doing the instructor gig and it went back down again

1. I thought insurances went up once you passed a certain age
2. You have enough money to pay someone else to get their hands dirty
3. The older you get the faster you used to be

Number 3 sounds about right...... Although there are times I must forget how old I am, another sign of older age maybe?

You ae not yet old. When you get properly old you tell everyone how old you are, repeatedly and in every conversation.

You know I am almost 75 don't you?

[Yorick]

Old enough to be retired with all the time to do all the things I want.

Young enough to be able to do the things I want.

Often those 2 things don't align.

[tricol]

Yet to feel the benefit of cheap insurance. Hopefully next year!

I'm 38 btw, so maybe I don't fit this category just yet

I'm out at 60 - 18 months time - for these reasons .
I still wonder how old I actually am....
Insurance has gone up but that's bewcause my NC is newer and I couldn't be bothered to shop around .

Never wish youth away, nor it back. Today is the gift and that's why its called the present!
