Just curious - why would you think you can't?

Yes you can, and over here it is much more relaxed riding. Beautiful roads and countryside..

Be aware unlike in the UK, you need to carry your documents with you when you drive / ride.

Yup, get a full A in the UK. This can be transferred to a full A Spanish motorcycle licence if / when you are resident. And as said, carry everything document wise. Roads are stunning off the Motorways of course. Depending on where you are, it may simply be too HOT to ride in August. I can ride for 10/11 months a year. If its a big watercooled bike, beware engine heat in this climate on some bikes, it will roast you. Pan European 1300 and Yamaha FJR 1300 especially! BMW boxers are much better!
