Get a small can of De-Icer as well , handy for the occasional Frozen Lock that always happens when your late for work

Thanks to the advice I made it to Cardiff and back with no dramas, the bike ran like a dream, ear plugs made a huge difference. Im quite pleased that it rained a fair bit on the trip as idd not ridden in any kind of rain for about 2 years since I passed my test and was quite nervous about it, but its given me a confidence boost in using the bike
