Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Larry: I'm from Southampton...it says on your profile you're from Southampton/dorset, so I will keep an eye out when I'm riding!

Sideshow#36: Round was the wrong word really...more sort of 20 metres from the gate to the garage at about 3mph

Gene Genie: Yes I should have done The elements600 is the name I use for just about everything, but I could have changed it a bit for the bike though.

Took it for a short 70bhp blast earlier today to the shop to get it restricted...what a fun bike to ride!!! It's so much more smooth than my 125 ever was; its equally stable at 2mph as it is at 90.

Got a bit of a numb bum though...even after just 25 miles I can still feel it!

I just hope the restriction doesnt affect the fun factor too much!

Na mate, I'm sure it'll still leave you grinning just like that
Anyway, most of the fun when riding is in the twisty bits

So are you coming to the AR then?

I can't pick up my bike from the shop until the 7th July, as I'm going on holiday tomorrow to Majorca for a week I would have gone if I could though.

I've not ridden it restricted yet...I booked it in for tomorrow but I had to take the bike in today because of the holiday.
