Welcome Rik 
Tips for riding an auto......well firstly don't forget there is no Clutch.....we all forget from time to time........I did at 80mph and grabbed a handfull only to find myself snaking at speed down the M25 !!! 
Top tip get a screen fitted
And lastly work out what your gonna spend all the extra cash you'll have from not running a PX as you'll get far better fuel consumption
I'm sure the lads will advise on some more tips
Big Ian

Hi Rik
I had a lammy till a few months ago, no regrets. No more 2 stroke, no more breaking down (touch wood), I can get up to 40 without having to be going down a steep hill! No more sore bums, don't have to worry about stalling at a junction and having to push it to the side of the road.
It took me a while to get used to not having a brake at my foot but apart from that my only regret was buying a lammy in the first place
