Thousands of motorcyclists could be unwittingly riding without insurance

[Fazerjon]

Thousands of motorcyclists could be unwittingly riding without insurance because of confusion over what constitutes a full licence.

Many riders tell their insurance company they have had a full licence since the date they passed their standard motorcycle test.

But the insurance ombudsman has concluded they are wrong, and a full licence is only obtained when the 33bhp power restriction elapses, usually two years after passing the standard test.

I was lucky enough not to have to put up with a stupid 33bhp restriction, what a waste of time! I must be an old git now I suppose, I did my test in 1989 when I was 17 and had an FZR1000 EXUP to play with. Good old days. :lol
