Ha thanks for the replies and encouragement everyone.
@Jung and @nick_h. I tend to agree and it's how I've got approval (OK, reluctant resignation more than approval) from my wife with the argument that I'm more safe moving at the speed of the traffic with decent safety gear on than I am on a my push bike. I will be extremely cautious as I don't want to die any more than anyone does. That said, I'm eyeing up 600 to 900 naked bikes with ferocious lust, which is probably stupid for someone who's only experience of a motorcycle was about 12 months 32 years ago on a C70!
@Airhead that's exactly the advice I gave my son when he passed his driving test. Thinking you know it all because you've passed a 30 min exam is the fast track to A&E.
