Default free holiday?

Found this post on another forum.

Basically, if you've not been riding long and might be interested in buying a 600 sports bike then youu can ask them to let you play on their bikes for 2 days, all hotel bills, fuel and food covered by the Journalist.

How do they know how long you have been riding?!!? ... will they ask to see your licence or just take your word for it you have only past your test 2 months ago!?!?

They will ask to see your license before you ride their bikes,but does it state the date you passed your test on there?
Mine is an old paper one which would give the game away I think

Yup licence states how long you have had it, and what you can drive ect. Still haven't heard anything if I do, or better I get to go! But I know for fact I will have throw myslef on the mercy of work casue I need to get out of something to go.

Oooohh. When I got diagnosed with diabetes in February I had to surrender my licence. When it was re-issued, it said it was valid from April this year so techically I've only had my licence 2 months instead of 11 years.

Could be worth a punt.

Actually I wouldnt mind a couple of days thrashing someone elses bikes around the peak district all paid for.
But I seem to be commited at work those days too.
I need to be commited to work where I do.

yes licence tells date you passed, but doesn't tell your experience, so just blag that you haven't ridden much.

tempted.... what's the insurance excess
