To be considered an old timer or vintage motorcycles it has to be at least fifteen years old. You require you to store your old timer in a locked garage. Another way to get a cheaper rate is to have a clean driving record. They will accept one speeding ticket in the past three years but any other convictions are not accepted. If you have had no fault claims in the last five years that will also help you to get better rates. Most bikers need a full category “A” license for at least 2 years. The only bikes they will specialize in are British, European and Japanese bikes. They would rather you had not done any modifications on your vintage bike. The minimum drivers age is twenty-five years of age.

These are all things to consider and be aware of as you are shopping for old timer motorcycle insurance. You can pull up many companies that are specialists in vintage motorcycle insurance.

These have bikes themselves or have had a bike. They know how valuable your old timer is to you and they are willing to help you get the best coverage for your old timer as you need and your budget can stand. Be sure to ask many questions because there may be more discount rate motorcycle insurance offers that haven’t been mentioned above.

According to Wikipedia: “Benelli was established in Pesaro, Italy in 1911. Teresa Benelli, a widow, invested all of the family capital into the business in the hope that it would offer stable work for her six sons: Giuseppe, Giovanni, Francesco, Filippo, Domenico and Antonio (“Tonino”).”

Anyway — this bike is NOT the average 1976 Benelli 250 2C. It’s the CUP version — not surprisingly a racing bike.

Today, an absolutely gorgeous 1305cc 1929 Henderson KJ. Dave Hennesey’s site over at hendersonkj.com is pretty awesome, but I’m afraid these will be over my budget. Oh well — the pics still look awesome!

Photos thanks to www.hendersonkj.com — so lots of linklove going his way!

Now — I have no clue where to start looking for one, but I’m going to give it a go… Wish me luck!
