Shakin' Ass on the Shakedown Run




Glimmer of sunshine today meant it was time to grab a lunch hour shakedown run with The Freaker.

So far she's made it to two (count 'em) insurance inspections and although legal, the Adrian Flux valuation saga continues...

In the meantime, it was time for the rubber to hit the road. The only problem was the road hit back.

A quick zip to the edge of the Dales saw a rear fender bolt jolted out by one of the many potholes Yorkshire councils have yet to repair, leaving the sissybar flapping in the wind and smacking into Karl's metalflake.


Not too much damage done & I guess it made the shakedown worthy of the moniker.  

Ended well tho' Dropped in to Thundercity for a coffee with Paul while Karl sorted a replacement bolt & some touch up paint. 

Bike handles brilliantly.
