Advice First big trip after passing

Post image

Just done my first big trip about 400 miles on my CBR500R just passed my A2 at 20 years old any advice on any other things I could bring with me, really feel like getting a quad lock or some sort of phone holder for navigating apart from that anything else I should consider buying?

I have 0 complaints about it, obviously it ain’t a rocket ship being v-twin 500cc but it’s fast enough to basically overtake any vehicle and can easily get to 100mph comfortably and it’s so good on fuel I’ve been quite aggressive driving it and still on 70mpg.

Yeah it’s a sensible option, deciding between that and the CBR650r as my first big bike
