Recently had my Insurance renewal for my classic bikes from Footman James which has escalated by some 48%, subsequent telephone call asking for an explanation revealed the answer that their underwriters have loaded the policy, by around 40%, due to me having reached a landmark age, 75, this apparently is non negotiable so I have gone elsewhere funnily enough a company with the same surname and possibly responsible for starting FJ in the first place.  :good:

Am I surprised at your treatment? Nah! I am 4 years older and my age was not a factor this year (other things were for one policy). Next year, it is 'big 0'. Oh dread....! Glad you got sorted.
