Riding on L's

Right let me get this absolutly straight. I have a Cbt for an automatic scooter. I am very soon to be 17 and want to start riding a proper bike. Can I ride a 125 on L-plates? Confused

I really do find it hard to believe that they'll let me ride round a geared bike on L-plates with no prior experience (even though I've had a bit) on the road with no test. This is a strange counrtry we live in..... Thumbs Up

What do you expect with this government!

I find it hard to believe they passed a law to put L plates on the front of the bike, where on most i've seen there is no space whatsoever where it can safely go.

Mine are on the right fork, sticking out to the left, everywhere else either stops movement of the suspension or would rip my face to pieces if I were to go over the handlebars.

Makes you wonder who actually passes these laws.

I said it before and I'll say it again. It's a crazy country we are living in. I think I might move to spain........... Mr. Green

I ride on L's and get nodded at too!

If you have an NSR like me, you \can/ put the L plate on the screen.

Noggin, you wouldn't get stopped even if you took the L's off.
Looking at all the gear you wear, they'd think your older.
As for L's, i just haven't bothered to put mine back on, besides, i'm sick of the rear one snapping off.

If you are sick of snapping off, then take your test.

It's quite simple.

Anyone who rides without L-plates deserves points and a fine. Razz

Happy Birthday.

If you haven't passed your theory, then you need to be booking that ASAP (i.e. tomorrow) as you need to pass the theory before you can book the practical test.

With the current waiting times round here (don't know about where you are),you'll have to move quick to get it done before the summer.
