The joy of old bikes.

Just had the great pleasure of renewing the road tax on the Triumph... to the grand tune of £0.00..... suck on that Oiky Ozbourne!!!

How long before the robbing barstewards realise and tax old vehicles to death on "enviromental" grounds remains to be seen.... but, for the time being one tax disc for nada, nowt and nothing.

Im not surprised you dont have to tax it when it spends most of its time in kit form

Zero road tax is good, it's one of the reasons all mine are on the road all year. Now I've sold the Duke I only pay tax on two and they are both only 350's! 8-)

Were you collecting bits from an earlier trip??

Im just a bit put-out the Four doesnt fall into the free tax bracket?? Bikes before 1973, no prob... They dont seem to be adjusting this date as the years go by tho?

I was originally 25 years old. But the rules were changed very quickly to set a '72 cut off. There's no sign of this being extended I'm afraid.
