I have got a new job, smack bang in the middle of London (near 'Bank' underground station) I am seriously considering riding my triumph street triple motorbike into central london every day to avoid the train crush/hassle.

I have got there by train for my first 2 weeks, I see loads and loads of motorbike parking all ove rthe shop basically, but no free spaces everything jam packed with motorbikes (I mean handlebar to handlebar every single space gone) by the time I'm down there at 9am.

1) Is motorbike parking free? I know there's no congestion charge, but is there any other charge I may not have considered?
2) Is riding around central london during rush as 'nutter mental horrible difficult' as urban legend suggests (I am a new rider on 'big' bikes), or not nearly that bad once you get used to it? I have just passed my test but consider myself a reasonably capable rider ???
3) The most important question, at what time in the monring will I need to get in to the city on the bike in order to fairly much guarantee me a motorbike space??

Much appreciated,

Britters.
