I got pulled by an unmarked car today...

for not having L plates on my SV

I had a hi viz 'trainee' vest on, as I went to observe a CBT. Had a pretty interesting day, shame about the really rubbish weather.

We went out on the road part, and were on the way back to the school, when we heard a siren, I looked and saw an ambulance coming in the opposite direction, then looked in my mirror to see an unmarked car flashing, so we pulled in a bit to let him pass, and he was after me!!!

He asked me why I had a trainee vest on, so I explained that we thought it better for us all to be noticed as a group, and now the poor bloke who is showing me the ropes is now having kittens in my earhole. He laughed and let me on my way.
Good job he didn't look the bike over, as there was no baffle, and my out of date tax disc is stuck solid in the holder, so the new one is still in my tank bag

Ahh well, I might just have to go and watch another CBT, and another and another, before I decide when I want to train to be an instructor

I'm a bad girl ain't I?

I've never been pulled before, and I was kackin me pants. I could hear the instructor fella talking the the guy doing his CBT, wondering what the hell was going on, and then heard him saying it must be the vest.

Do you know, this reminds m of an old joke!

Two prostitutes chatting;

One says

"Have you ever been picked up by the fuzz?"

The other replies

"No, but I've been swung around by my boobs!"

Can you even have L plates on an SV? With it being a 650?

Who did you have showing you the ropes then?

Sure. I rode an ER-5 with L plates... while doing my DAS. If the school was flush/crazy/nice enough to have SVs as their school bikes you'd have L plates on them.

Ah ok. For some reason I had it fixed in my head that 125s and 500-600s were used in training schools but I guess not!

DAS rules seem to state that anything with a power output over 35kW (46.6bhp rings a bell) is legal for DAS, but the power to weight figure seems to be AWOL - if it has been removed, then its probably OK to do the training and take the test on a busa...

Twas Kev, nice fella, quite old school(which I like) certainly someone who I could do a CBT with......although he'd have failed me on a U turn, the SV couldn't do it! We decided faired SVs aren't suitable for the job. However there was another school up at the Galpharm that were using Gladius's for the Mod 1, very capable indeed....might be something to do with their nakidness......Mod 1, is eeeeerrrrr an interesting task.

Something like that, 46.6bhp or a GS500
