oh and I forgot the best. When you have your wife as pillion remember to make sure she is actually on the bike before pulling onto the motorway. Seriously hilarious when a guy comes past with your pillion on his bike, with arms waving and strange noises emanating from it
#9 remember to lift up the side stand before riding off...
Make sure the kill switch is on before you blame the alarm.
Remember to top up the tank when you switch to reserve.
#1 Don't use polish on your seat unless you have a crazy desire to cling on for dear life at anything above 7.6mph
