I got a nag letter in July - licence expired Oct 2021 went to the post office a week or so after the letter arrived as I was off work where they did everything (photo, signature, check). New photocard arrived in 4 days. Miffed that the expiry date is now July not October 2031 Govt supposed to be abolishing them anyway.

Or Grinder. I had the same thing with a set of leads - bloody annoying.

I cant really add anything about the choice of bike that hasnt been said, and its a personal thing anyway. Dont totally disregard bigger Chinese brand bikes as the quality has certainly improved over the last few years. Kit though. Really important to buy decent kit - its saved my skin on more than one occasion. Literally. I may have metal plates in my arm & arthritis in my knee but Ive still got 100% of tissue surrounding the bones and on my face. Just google degloving injuries if you want to see the mess that can be made by wearing sub par equipment then sliding over tarmac at any speed.

Back when I was at college there was a spate of Transit & Escort van thefts to use in robberies or ram raids

Wasnt this available as vertical and horizontal set ups?

Nope - I dont like them on the mini. But its a personal choice. Id actually like to see some plain cooper reverse rims on it, but obviously finding something like that to fit the hubs is going to be ticky
