You don't have to wear leathers to do your test anymore than you have to wear them when your riding normally.

some places insist on it and although most will have spare lids+gloves you may not be allowed out during training without a bike jacket and trousers.
for the test if that's all you're doing then you won't need anything other than the legal minimum (thong and helmet ) but it's best to check with the training firm first-especially if you'll be hiring a bike as it may have insurance implications. |

I have just phoned the training centre back and they have said "NO" it is not a requirement you can wear whatever you want as long as you are wearing a Gold sticker helmet.
I asked if a thong was OK and he said whatever you feel comfortable in!!!
He said you can not be failed for not wearing leather but the examiners could off the record be a bit harsher on markings as you are putting yourself at risk.

I've just booked my test, it's in a couple of weeks and my instructor said words to the same effect. The examiner might take a dim view of me turning up in my shell suit and jesus sandles. Best not upset the guy, I think I'll wear my leathers.
Best of luck with the test matey.  ____________________ Past >>>> Honda NSR 125 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K1 >>>> Suzuki GSXR 600 K4 >>>>Kawasaki Z1000 DAF >>>>Suzuki RMZ 250 >>>> Current >>>> KTM Superduke R 1290 >>>> |
