Good morning BCF
Does anyone know of any insurance company's that will insure one to take a DAS course on their own bike with L plates.
I've been told it is a way to do it.and the instructor meets you wherever the bike is and I've an instructor willing to do that.
I cant do on those blumin Gladius bikes that they all seem to only have around here.No way.
I will do [or would like to do] on an XT660X.
Any ideas or has anyone actually don this please?
Cheers Thumbs Up

OK,yes I cant use this as it isn't 54bhp or over......S@@@!...

Bikesure is the only one that regularly gets mentioned.

Since you're begging, you won't be choosing and may get dry pumped on price. I'd cost it up against a competitive quote after you're fully licensed.

The other option it to quite truthfully enter "provisional license" on a comparison site and see if you get lucky. If you get offered cover on that basis then job done since it's entirely legal to ride a big bike on a provisionaL while under instruction or on test. The underwriter might not have meant to offer that cover, but the broker's mistake isn't your problem.

A friend insured his bike as a learner, I accompanied him to test centre. After passing, he rang them and they reduced his premium immediately.

I'm curious as to what his issue with the Gladius is. We have 2 of them and they are fantastic bikes for tests, The engine braking make them ideal for the avoidance and E Stop on mod 1 and they are so easy to ride and forgiving they make module 2 a doddle.

Not sure of your point here. What difference does you accompanying him make? Or were you riding with him on the back?

I'm an instructor, his insurers just asked why he wanted to insure as a provisional licence holder; he told them that it was so he could train with me and do his test.

Okay dokey skip, pay us a bit more, good luck with test!

I tried the above when looking to insure the ER6f on a provisional licence for my tests.

Unfortunately, computer says no, was the constant response that was received.

As stated, Bike Sure were the only broker who would offer any type of insurance under such circumstances and even then they'd only offer TPO unless the bike was garaged.

They did give me less of a raping via their telephone quote than their online one though.

Edited because auto correct is dumb.
