Sunsprie Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi everyone I have my test in 2weeks, been riding my 125 for 3 years but I recently bought a dragstar 650, trouble is I need to collect it, it's only 10mins down the road and the guy can deliver it as he broke his neck.I was thinking of riding her home the short distance that it is, on the off chance I got stopped what would happen? I won't go out on the bike until I pass my test but I do need to bring the bike here in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Riding without a licence and riding without insurance at a minimum. Plus riding an untaxed vehicle.In short, don't do it; wait until you're licensed or get it delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igingeee Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 it's only 10mins down the road and the guy can deliver it as he broke his neck.. 10 Minutes away isn't worth the hastle and trouble you'd get into if caught, far to much risk.Can't you just go there on foot and sit on the thing and use your feet to push it along the pavement until you get home.. with the temptation to turn the thing on and ride it if you approach a steep hill.Wishful thinking?

Sunsprie Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Lol I'd probably be wrecked doing that, I am scared to drive it home, I imagine getting caught and the bike getting crushed, that would just be soul destroying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still illegal even if the engine is not running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still illegal even if the engine is not running. Not if broken down from what I read.Remove spark plug, fuze or battery? if its on the road you need a full licence and insurance! same as if your been towed and your steering you need a full licence and the vehicle has to be fully road worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if you recieve a proabition they stipulate at the roadside it must be recovered by lowloader and wheels arnt to touch ground.

Sunsprie Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm in Belfast, I was thinking maybe getting my instructor down then I can ride it back with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunsprie Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm not gonna risk the drive even though it's short, I think I'd be fine but it will probably be the one time in 3 years of riding a bike that I'll get pulled over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
