Well done on passing your test. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Top banana! Feels good doesn't it. Now you're doing it 'properly' you need to find a lid that fits you perfectly and doesn't have bits that buzz or flap or won't seal. There's probably some adjustment to be had with your visor and a light smear of Vaseline will help it seal, but you do get what you pay for. As the saying goes: Only get a £40 helmet if you have a £40 head.
Top end kit is as much to do with comfort as safety, you're going to be in it for a long time so it has to work AND feel good.
I'd also recommend getting some further training before you pick up any bad habits. Do it now while you're still in deep learning mode and the skills will stay with you for the rest of your riding life.
It's all expense I know, but crappy kit can spoil many a good ride and bad habits put your life more at risk, so do get the best you can afford.
Conratulation rachel hope to see you soon [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

'Only get a £40 helmet if you have a £40 head.'
Funny how the years and ages change things, we were only talking this morning and someone said 'only get a £5 helmet if you got a £5 head' Must be a year ot two older than you!
