    Practice. Then practice some more. It's the only way.

    You need to hold the bike upright as you push down on the stand, otherwise it'll be crooked if you lift it while it's at rest on the sidestand, IYSWIM. Or... push the stand down to take the weight off the sidestand while adjusting the position of the paddock stand so it'll lift straight. Practice makes perfect

    Yes, but it would be better to get trained on the type of bike you want to ride.

    There's nothing to update, as such. Being in possession of a CBT certificate merely validates the provisional Gp A on your licence's paper counterpart.

    Buy the cheapest you can find... then at least you won't have wasted too much money when you realise that you don't, after all, need a compressor.

    It doesn't.

    You just told us. And the world. Seems pretty obvious to me

    I think you'll find that the provisional entitlement(s) ceases at the border. Source: http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/vehicles/driving/validity/tourist_en.htm

    The house currently does not exist. Which makes your character refeence even more poignant.

    Break! Help!

    Once you've glued it into position... Cut a few short lengths of fencing wire, about 40mm will do. Then on the reverse, use the soldering iron to melt the wire into the plastic. This'll minimise the flexing of the repair and increase the likelihood that it'll last more than a week.

    Experience is not the same as training. Learning by your mistakes can be a painful way to learn so I would still advocate professional training.

    Depends if you're only interested in passing the test, or in accessing training designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to stay alive a little longer on the roads.

    I've got insurance. Anything else needs too much faffing around to make it worth my while, although I do usually remove the key when it's parked.

    You can, but it won't work in that way. It's purpose is to seal against leaks, not to inhibit movement (ptfe is (or was) the 2nd most slippery substance known to man)

    "Slow in, fast out" is taught on just about every advanced riding course. It is also promoted in Roadcraft, the riding manual for Police motorcycle riders. I guess we're all stupid.

    You're riding too slowly, speed up and the temperature will drop
