Thanks for posting that Phil… Funny ol' times eh?

I wonder if the insurance company offices will be open?

Funny you should ask that I got a renewal from Bennetts in the post today and an email saying they are offering a reduced service at the call center. So yes, they're open but will take longer than usual if you need to speak to anyone.

I think I'll just accept the automatic renewal this year, more important things to worry about.

Stay safe

Yep, I've had that too today via email.

That's great news, had an MOT booked for the 31 Mar, I can leave it now and wait for 6 months.

Interesting... I have a U.K. plated vehicle, with Me here in Spain, with an MOT due to run out end of April. I would normally be driving back to the UK around now, but we have a total lock down here, so not possible to leave the house...

I had intended to put my S2R800 on the road this year but that doesn't have a current MOT to extend so I might have to continue with the SC1000, but as it seems there wont be much point in going anywhere I might just leave it all until things get back to normal.
I still have my old Sunbeam to pootle about on, it doesnt need an MOT, or tax though it's 'character' limits the range at the moment.
