....to insure the Indian for another year. :y......this time with the AA.
A bigger excess would have brought it down to a paltry £183.
When I was young and dumb I had no insurance for years. The cops would have to catch me first. ::)
Now I'm old and sensible.....but still dumb. :)

One of the few advantages of getting old is cheap insurance. I also didnt bother with stuff such as insurance or even a licence when riding bikes in my teens in the 70,s. It was seen as a sign of weakness, and probably meant you were gay. ::) ;D
Then in 79 at the end of my teens I paid £636 for third party insurance for a car. That was a lot of money then. ::)
Tried to stay reasonably legal since then. although its only in the last decade Ive started to accept that speed limit signs might be just more than pointless road furniture. :)

According to the online inflation calculator £636 in 1979 is £2938 in 2020. A lot of money.

I used the old 'Tax in post' approach for many years.
Must have saved me a fortune. ::)
