Meet Britain's Oldest Biker: 94-Year-Old Reg Scott

Recently, UK insurance specialist Bennetts has searched through their archives and came across the name Reg Scott, from Ludham Norfolk, whom they named ‘Britain’s Oldest Biker.’ This is because he is 94 years old, and has covered over 384,800 miles in his 74 years on the road.

“While most pensioners are beginning to slow down and put their feet up, Reg is living life in the fast lane and has no intention of slowing down. Currently the oldest biker on Bennetts’ books, with 74 years of experience, Bennetts wanted to celebrate Reg’s achievement and awarded him with the accolade of ‘Britain’s Oldest Biker’ in recognition of his years on the road,” Bennetts explained.

Scott began riding motorcycles in 1937 when he bought a Norton 16H 490cc for £73. He has since owned bikes, with over 5,000 miles ridden each year. In fact, according to Bennetts, Scott used to ride 100 miles a week. He still goes out 4 times a week on his bike.

The old timer has recently purchased a Honda 250cc off the back of a ‘Deal or no Deal’ appearance and subsequent winnings. Having walked away with £10,500, Reg donated a massive £6,000 to charity before using the rest to buy his latest bike to ensure many more years on the road.

“I’m delighted to have been crowned Britain’s Oldest Biker by Bennetts. Riding gives me a sense of freedom; it allows me to get around more easily while enjoying the open road. Age has nothing to do with it for me; I’ll be on my bike for as long as I can,” Scott said.
