I need to buy a helmet and clothes before I get it, but I'm going on Friday to the shop (there are three right near me, so I should be fine). I'm hoping to get a jacket, trousers and shoes, and maybe a neck scarf thing because they're quite nice

I'm not sure what I need in terms of equipment for the scooter though - a chain, I'm guessing? It's going to be stored in a locked compound which has mesh fencing and barbed wire on top (and CCTV), but I'm still a bit nervous about leaving it out! Is there a particular style of chain that is better than others? Or a different type of lock entirely? And how do I use it - where do I loop it through on the scooter?
What else do I need to know about the scooter? I know in the CBT they said to leave a scooter run for a few minutes before using it, and to do a check each day that all the lights are working, etc.
I've never used a petrol station before - I've only ever sat in the car whilst someone else filled up because I don't drive. I'm a bit scared about doing that for the first time

I haven't even had chance to ride the scooter yet - obviously I don't have a helmet yet so I couldn't. I really hope I like it, although I think I will judging by the comments on here
