awww the relief of having it out the way!

i cant wait to get on my bike. had issues with the insurance company who said they would send my docs by email (KGM bike insurance) but whom didnt bother, even after me phoning back, which means i need to wait to tax my bike..

cant wait to get out on my first solo ride!

Congratulations fella!

I'm insured with KGM, although through an intermediary called Express Insurance. It's odd that you didn't get your docs. I had mine with in minutes from them. Hope they get them to you soon.

Enjoy every minute of it.

Ben

Best bit of advice I think I can give (because it sticks in your mind) is to keep your eyes moving, don't let them rest on anything for too long as your periphery will close in, just keep assessing, might sound boring but I actually get a sense of pride when I predict someone doing something idiotic.

Also, they're called lifesavers for a reason so don't forget them, look every time you move over
