So - passed my cbt, got my 1st bike, built up courage to go on 1st solo ride - loved it.
Started realising once I had gotten bit more comfy on my ride, that my plums are getting smashed by the tank on the regular and my AAA jeans are offering little protection for the the boys. How do you stop getting your knackers hit by the tank, and how do you keep them warm! It was only 14C yesterday and I didn't go over 50mph, mostly just riding around residential areas(<30mph) - but by the time I got home, I needed to warm my plums by the radiator.

Advice please gents!

Not long passed my CBT and waiting for my bike to arrive. Not had time to consider locks/chains etc - and how to carry those items when I'm out riding - rucksack? pillion bag?

Can someone give me some suggestions please in the UK and also when I do get off my bike and lock it up, do I secure it to a lampost or another bike - do I put lock/chain through frame/wheel etc? I've no idea. TIA!
