Edited to remove spam-like postage

$68 for two days, high miler but in good nic. Spent all this afternoon wobbling around the local roads trying to get my confidence up and giving my new gear a shakedown.

Find it quite tiring and hard work, nearly dropped it twice on junctions and parking it in my driveway. But the last run of the day it all clicked and started Surprised feeling much more confident and going faster, did 50mph!! Started to actually enjoy myself too.

Need to practice my low speed stuff, specially setting off and stopping safely and smoothly. Clutch still feels very snatchy

Sounds like spam!
You sound like you're on a CBT, so what happens in the very real event of you dropping the bike?

Sorry no spam but maybe I should read the rules again. Didn't check the paperwork but I guess I cover the damage in case of a spill.

Did my CBT a few weeks back. DAS may happen March when I've got the punds

From reading the site you would have lost your £200 deposit/"excess" if you'd binned it.
