SOUND FAMILIAR?
The bike's in the garage. So why haven't you ridden it yet?
Most returning riders aren't held back by skill. They're held back by a hundred small questions:
Is my licence still valid for the bike I want?
Will insurers treat a twenty-year gap as a red flag?
What's the right kit now? Everything has changed.
Where do I even ride first without getting flattened?
The checklist answers those in plain English, in the order you'll actually need them.

Common mistakes
A TASTE OF WHAT'S INSIDE
✓ Declare your full riding history honestly, gap included. It matters less than you'd think.
✓ Match the bike to today's you, not the one you rode twenty years ago.
✓ Expect a wobble at the first few junctions. It passes faster than you think.
WHO WROTE IT
Written by someone who's done the comeback
This is the list I wish someone had handed me before I climbed back on.
“I handed that bike back a different man. Twenty years vanished in one lap. I was a biker again. No debate, no thinking it over. Done.”
