Hi mate, good to see another addition to the GM
1. Don't ride when its cold

Get yourself some crash bobbins to protect the bike somewhat if it does happen again
2. Avoid a place called Bisley Coachworks. Myself & Jam can both testify to their ****ness...
3. Don't know about Aldershot but Nick Robinson's in Basingstoke(ish) is pretty decent.
4. Your wife
And finally, welcome
