Hopefully the rain issue is decreasing with every day that goes by, but a useful tip is to buy a cheap motorcyle, all-in-one rainsuit, I bought one at Lidls when they had them in, and keep it in the back. You will also need a small towel to wear around your neck, don't ask how I found out I needed one!

When Lidls have a 'motorcycle' event, they also do closed and open faced helmets for around £20, which probably wouldn't be to clever on a high powered bike, but work a treat in the Mog - I bought an open face, with a visor which pulls down to cover my face. Keeps the noise down on those long trips too.

Keep those enthusiastic reports coming you new boys.........
