I had visions of it moving off very sedately, a bit like an ordinary bike but without all the work. I thought the motor would cut out immediately I loosed the clutch allowing me to coast quietly to a stop...

Har, Har, Har.

The moment I touched the throttle it leaped into the air reaching top speed in one second and I came close to leaving the saddle backwards. During a maiden trip of no more than a quarter of a mile or so I almost killed an unsuspecting mother and child and had two elderly ladies try to commit suicide under my wheels. The last part of the trip is up a steep hill with my house three quarters of the way up. It went up the hill at the sort of speed I would normally coast down and I sailed on past my house unable to stop in time. I got off and walked the new monster back the last few yards onto my drive in case I hit the house. What I need is some sort of modification that will gear everything down a notch. An electronic gadget, perhaps, that when wired in will make it less like a wild bronco. Please someone tell me there is something like that.
