1 Grab one when there are not looking

2 Use someone's ID, or just make one up

3 Go to the bike safe show and ride the bike there

I think 3 might be the best option!

Its more fair than me not being able to, because of my age.

How's it unfair? Inexperienced riders aren't as skillful and are obviously a greater risk - that's just fact.

To be honest I'm happy with the bikes I have....Though given the chance I would to ride different bikes, as I have never rode an inline four ect! All in good time, I'm in no rush

Aprillia couldn't help you then

Jester, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a list derived from car insurance with no thought given to motorcyclists. As Empty says, even a bike you own when in the entertainment industry I imagine you're much less likely to have 'someone famous' on the back compared to driving a car.

This wipes most of them back out of the running
