I use second much more than first and usually pull away in second too (unless there's an R1 at the lights that needs teaching a quick lesson ) - a very flexible gear.

Hi Will. Glad you two are getting on.

If you think it's noisy now, you should've heard it with the Renegade system on! He'll perk up even more when you get a race can on him again.
