Riding without a licence
 

Under what circumstances could I ride an SV on the road before I did my Direct Access?

If I have the theory and CBT does that qualify me to ride with L plates or something?

not in any circumstances unless you are riding it as part of a riding school course (in other words if you're riding an SV on your DAS course!)

Only and I mean ONLY if you are accompanied by a qualified motorcycle driving instructor.

Thought as much

Just seen a nice shiny K5 for sale but can't get to do my DA til next month :(

So on the DA courses when they offer a discount for using your own bike that means you'd have to roll up to the centre with it on a trailer then?

I wouldn't fancy doing it on my own bike incase I dropped it! I wouldn't fancy doing a u-turn on my bike either!

Probably a wise move, much better to total their machine.

That's the spirit! :lol:

Take their bike as there is always a good chance that you will drop it when doing the U turns. They usaly always use nakids due to the tight turning circle they give. I got a cool SLR650 when i did DA in the summer and u turns were done on sixpence.

SVS dont have the best turning circles anyway, if that was what you are thinking of getting.

best bike fer u-turns is the Er5!

has to be a SLR650, single cyl engine just plods around.
