Was reading about some insurance companies not renewing/insuring early birds because of no imobiliser etc. Any body shed any light on this. I sold mine 3 years ago but never had any issues

Nope ....had mine 10 yrs now... never been a prob to insure.... more likely to depend where you live as to getting insured imho.

Only problem I had when insuring my Bird was trying to get classic insurance as I thought it may reduce the annual premium. It qualified on age but they wouldn't insure it for commuting, only domestic & pleasure and only 1500 miles PA. Think that was with Footman James. Didn't bother with them in the end & went with some other company that allowed commuting & 7500 miles PA and all for £20 more than a classic policy would have cost.

'97 carby here, no issues insuring. Although they did suggest re-building the rear shock as the last owner was a bit of a porker.

No, I've put on 2kg in the last month but at 94kg, I'm only half what that fat git Me is.
You just can’t help yourself can you. Christmas is coming and you know yet again you’ll add more timber. That shock was set for my 13 stone svelte frame. Add another 13 abs what do you expect cake boy !
