fullscreenaging Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 A simple Poll.When I had my bikes (1 at a time) they were toys and I rode all year round, but only when it was a nice day through the winter.I know some people hang their leathers up over winter time, but I never saw the point. I always wanted to be out on my bike at every opportunity.So, do you SORN and why? If not why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 No I don't sorn more hassle doing it plus its all taxed, MOTed and insured ready just incase I NEED to use it like if the car breaks down it doesn't cost a lot more to keep it taxed really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Need my bike all year so no If I didn't I would anyway because you never know when you get some nice weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamBerryKing Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 i keep it going, it certainly helps when building my no claims, as you need a full years insurance to count. 11 months wouldnt cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk190 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 i do and i dont.i have three bikes. the R1 is not sorn, however i wont ride it in the shit winter weather, i have no need to.the gsx cafe racer is sorn cos it is not MOT'd so is not being used.the Chop's tax and insurance have just ran out. as i intend to to rebuild it over the winter there was no point insuring or taxing it.

techno Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have never seen the point a years tax is no money anyway so saving 6 months or less isnt worth the hassle plus I may just need it or find a winter day its worth taking out.

Tankbag Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I hate the winter with a passion & working mostly outside during winter particularly makes the warm car a nice commute so I do sorn I just put bikes out of my mind during winter & look forward to spring, I plan to retire south I hate the winter that much.

GazzyG Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Always ridden through the winter, weather permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Speedie is not SORN'd....and I won't either as it's nice to have the option of taking the bike out if there's a nice day during the Winter.........but the ST is currently SORN'd as the MOT has expired and I need to sort a couple of things out on it before I can MOT it.......so, a bit like Martin really....

Bonniebird Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I SORNed the Bonnie one Winter and really regretted it when I couldn't get out on nice days - never again. The only benefit now is that I don't have to renew my insurance in the same month as my tax and MOT.I have a SORNed CG125 that I need to sort out and MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Neve SORN the daily bike but save a few quid on the track monkey over the winter. It never works out quite right and I always end up paying 6 onths duty for 5 months and three days worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Divvi is SORN'ed but as it has no tax or MoT I have little choice, when it gets sorted it will be used as a commuter and winter hack. But thhe VN will not be SORN'ed for winter as it may be needed for the fairer days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
