Motorcycle Hire - Central Scotland

[Skorpion]

Hello good people. I'm looking for some help. 20 year old son has just passed his m/c test and is desperate to go out for a proper run. Can't afford his own bike and is waiting till he hits 21 to get something which does not need to be restricted. So what he'd like to do is hire something for a day or two so that he can come out a run with us under his own steam so to speak.

Anyone know of any companies in Central Scotland that would hire him out a bike? I've done a quick trawl of the internet and found Perth/Cupar M/C who look like they hire out 125's, and at reasonable rates too, but is there anywhere else which might rent out something a wee bit bigger?

Thanks for your help

S.

The Perth/Cupar M/C hire out bigger bikes too or is it only 125's for your son's age group?

You may struggle mate, my insurance only allows me to rent to over 25s.
I had a guy last year who was 21 and he hired a bike for ten days and insured it himself.

Thanks guys. I'm not holding out much hope but we'll keep trying. His plan was just to get through the test before it changes then wait till he culd get a full powered bandit or something similar. Just thought it might be a good idea to get a run or two in this year if we could.

Where is he getting training?

Did CBT then on-road training both with Jim Allan M/C, Falkirk. I think they use Yamaha YB125's? - but they don't hire bikes.

Find somwhere that does the F650 as that can be restricted.

Did he need pre CBT training?
