Gary, I believe that once you have your full bike licence (not learners) you are good to go.Originally Posted by Oldbiker61
If you think about it, once you pass your test and are on the road, you are at risk, the same as everyone else. In fact if you are are new rider, your confidence and road craft skills are less developed, so one may argue you are more at risk than a rider with some experience under their belt.
Why "gain experience" the hard way by yourself, when you can be guided by someone more experienced, who can make the process easier (and hopefully less painful) :-)
The reality is that once you have mastered the basics of operating the controls on the motorcycle (needed to pass your test), you are ready to learn the tips and tricks of how to read the road and give yourself the best chance of minimizing your risk of being in an accident.
Hopefully that has answered your very good question. Any more?
