2. gloves

Sunglasses

4. insurance

food, drink, wallet, phone.

*Breakdown cover!
*Be careful these cars can bite back!

I would also say ear plugs.

Even with the lid, you get a lot of noise. When I got mine I did a 3 hour drive and even with the lid on, I got out half deaf.

enjoy it and take care.

Very small footwear. Don't expect to drive it in size 12 Nike Air!

car with trailer, its not stopped raining here for an hour, i cant see the road.
Just take it easy, and you will be ok

AA or RAC, etc... just incase

Deffo on the ear plugs. If its raining just go faster so the rain misses you

adult size nappys

weather should be better tommorow I live 5 mins from MK and its banging it down at the moment. To get the best enjoyment wear a cap and a well fitting pair of sunglassess. The cars can bite so make the best use of your drive home use a an b roads.

Also recommend you pop to Argos and buy a Fishing umbrella theyre ideal when you have to pull over due to downpours. The bike helmet is good when your hammering it or if its peeing it down, they are an aquired taste I find and can be restrictive on your view.

A wind-proof jacket is good, unless it's hot and humid (like at the moment).

A choice of clothing is probably a good idea - t-shirt, fleece, jacket - so you can put on or take off items as needed.

Be very, very gentle with the throttle if the road's wet!

Spare pair of pants

The one everyone seems to be forgetting is a car engine

as someone has already said, take it easy on the twisty bits, roundabout etc.

two weeks of sun followed by rain is a recipe for greasy roads. rwd + greasy roads, equals increased underpant usage.

A Drill and Drill-bit if it's raining...

Drill the base of the seat - nothing like sat in a puddle of rain...

Steve

Bicycle clips... much easier to carry than spare pants or nappies..

As above. Just sit back and take it easy and when you get home you wont be able to take the grin off your face.

Money ?
