I finally had time today to out everything into practice, I think I'm maybe learning on a route that's to technical as I'm always slipping the clutch to get along, but standing on the pegs I certainly made better progress and could be quicker over rutted ground, bar risers are now on the wish list. The road gearing did hinder things along with the snatchy throttle but they can worked on.

And oh boy are ramblers a funny bunch, ended up sharing a joke with a horse rider who I expected would be the most trouble sum.
