I still remember my first ride (ahem!) and it was such a good feeling.

Enjoy.

Yup I am back. Unfortunately had to wait 4 hours til the bike was ready. Still took me 100 miles to get home.
Very nice even at 5000 rpm.
Still off to Southampton Saturday. A 260 mile round trip. Looking forward to that.
Bike is booked in 29th June for its first service so need to get on.

I will post some pixies when I work out how.
