THANKS I will have to look into sorting that, I think I did open a photobox account a lot of years ago, I will have too see if that's still active :)
Like me, i've got some old accounts like that, Photobox, Flickr etc, but for a very long time now I've been using my own tame website, flecc.uk

You need power not speed, you have made the right choice. You will have a small learning curve - the secret is use your gears don't let the motor bog down. As an experienced rider you will quickly get the hang of it.

And the fun bit is going to be when you get it out on your own without the trailer and you start thrashing it on really difficult terrain just for the hell of it :)
Been piddling down here all day but managed to get out a short while ago to have a bit of a trial up a pretty steep forest track just up the road from us, it was dark, raining & muddy :-(
Managed to get up the hill with ease towing the trailer (with our 9year old & a few heavy logs in lol) a lot of people wouldn't get up that hill even without a trailer! like you say there will be a bit of a learning curve but it seems like it will make it a lot easier towing up any incline & big hills! Hopefully will have a proper go with it tomorrow in these hills towing my wife lol, hopefully without the rain & darkness :)

it dont override anything so say it just lifts the 15.5mph limit and fools the speed sensor.

I don't think I will be needing to override the speed regulator or whatever it is
you soon will be seduced by the Lords of Sith posting on here...
