Buckster Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 £111 for tax? Thieving government. 16% increase since 2021, just under 10% from last year, what will the next hike be? Insurance renewal quote came in with a 95% increase, not a chance, shopped around got slightly better cover but still paying 20% more even with extra NCB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I used to say that I would be happy when my insurance was less than my road tax. The only problem is I meant that the insurance would get lower as I got older, not that the road tax would go up so much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything fitted to the bike that was not on it when it left the factory was a modification so something as simple as a tank protector if not declared could end with a void insurance with them in the event of an accident, not sure if their like that now though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
