HI
I was told by someone that i cant practice my road riding on my own bike.

My bike has Mot, Tax n Insurance
So my question is to any or all Able training instructors, if i put L plates on my bike n have passed my CBT n have radio contact with the instructor, can i practice my road riding using my bike?

Thanks

PS My ride is a 1986 yamaha fz 600

good question, i would guess that with an instructor, that it's ok. but by yourself i know it isn't on L plates

Yes V1per, as long as you're accompanied by a Fully Qualified Direct Access Instructor, you're allowed to train/ride your own bike. You must be in radio contact, as you say, and the bike must be over 46.6bhp to qualify for DAS. Potentially, you could train/ride a Fireblade if you wanted... :o

Now that would make a change to the GS500s..... :o

Figure of eight might be a bit tricky... ::)
