[1] it was delivered about a week before my test date, and I wanted theft cover. -- d.

I don't see any advantage, because the school doing the training would probably not allow him/you to use your own machine. They'll have their own specialist cover and it's likely to be linked to the use of their own bikes and not bikes belonging to the riders, plus they wouldn't reduce their charges for "own bike" training by enough to make it worthwhile insuring your own. At least that's how I see it. -- Beav
