RIDING over 80 +

[rex.webb]

A friend has been motorcycling all his life till 4 years ago.
Now at 83 he wants to start again on BSA Bantam?
BUT CANNOT GET COVER AS HE HAS HAD A BRAKE IN HIS INSURANCE ETC
Any thoughts on his ????????
I am ok at 82 3/4 years having been insured all my life .
RIDE WITH CARE AND LIVE LONG .
STAY SAFE ONE AND ALL

Good luck to your friend. Hope he gets a result.


I once had a friend that bought himself an Alfa Romeo sports car as a gift to himself on his 90th birthday.

I was flying with Dudley when he was well into his eighties. With tandem seating, a few time we got a bit mixed up over who had control. This led to a few interesting moments. Good fun.

PS, I'm a crap pilot. Very boring and bloody expensive.

Rex, This may be a daft thought, but what would his situation be if he were to be insured as a named rider on somebody else's policy?
Not for long, just long enough to give him a bit of a recent track record.

Before you say it. I can't help here. only a single rider is allowed on a multi bike policy.
