First outing on the dirt in the field behind the house, followed by around five road miles around the village.  

She behaved flawlessly, no rattling on the dirt apart from my broken ribs, they had a bit of a moan, but I have no trust in her as yet.  Hence staying well within pushing distance of the house.

You can tell how tiny she is by using the helmet and gloves for scale.  An absolute hoot to ride though.  Very willing little motor.

TK I know it felt good to take her out for a cruise 
​​ ​​​​   

Indeed.  I am taking the missus out in the back field this afternoon to learn her how to ride it.

Once she is confident in using the controls and general riding, it is hers.

I was pleasantly surprised by the missus.  She did better than 75% of my old CBT students.

She learned how to take the bike off the stand,  start and stop the engine, operate the brakes and clutch, put it into and out of gear and ride around in large circles.  Only stalled it once.
It was obvious she was getting tired and starting to plateau, so lesson over for today.  She thoroughly enjoyed it once she was able to ride with her feet up on the pegs.

Next time will be changing gear and riding tighter circles.

Since I had my riding gear on, on putting the 175 back in the conservatory, little yeller was begging me for an outing.

I did the exact same route as the 175, around 30 miles and by far the furthest run that little yeller has had thus far.

I had a huge grin on my face the whole way around the route. What a great little bike. Crisp, free revving engine, lots of power for its size and is so tiny and light it can be thrown about like a bicycle.

I saw 55mph once, but she must have been hitting very close to the redline and was not happy at lugging my 220 lb frame around at those speeds. She is far happier and runs sweeter around 40 - 45mph.

She certainly has had a good clearout though. I was not sparing with the throttle.
She behaved impeccably in every way throughout the ride. Apart from the size of her, and the fuel tank range, I would have no qualms about setting out on a 100 mile ride.

So 30 miles on the 175 and another 30 on little yeller.  I have not done so many two stroke powered miles in one day for over 40 years.

Tiny but with a big heart..
