Hi Richie

Only thing I would look out for is a rather large smile when your riding!!

Welcome aboard

Hello there,

Tip: Try a healthy fist of throttle when setting off in first gear & follow through all the way

Made me smile the first time & each time since.

Phil,

best nobody rides behind you then if every time you give ya VTR some stick you follow through. I get like that but only after alot of beer and a curry.

(most just overtake) Ha,Ha,Ha!
