Question about licence.

[Sunsprie]

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.

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.

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?

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.

Still illegal even if the engine is not running.

Get a mate with a van or a biketrailer, not worth binning it or getting caught

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

I second this.

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

If you told us where you are, this might happen...

What's your location?

Might be able to help out if you're near me.

[Sunsprie]

I'm in Belfast, I was thinking maybe getting my instructor down then I can ride it back with him.

[Sunsprie]

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.
