grizz Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 [SIZE="7"][COLOR="Red"]FIRST SHAKEDOWN ROADTEST[/COLOR][/SIZE] Took it to the farm for a first shakedown run. It is light, skittish and the front end tracking etc all need proper setting. However, being as light as it is, this thing feels plenty fast, a bit of Sh!t off a shovel brisk. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/RXpSpILkwuU I am really pleased with it at this point. A few more bits to complete, then MOT I must be honest, I would have loved to hear my dad’s comments on this, both seeing it and driving it.

loserone Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 That looks hilarious fun. Shame it's a Q plate but I suppose it doesn't actually matter. Good work! Edit: Is the one wheel burnout driver a certain Mr FromWales? grizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Is the one wheel burnout driver a certain Mr FromWales? These days the Q shouldn't hold such a stigma- the requirements to build a "bitsa" are stringent. If anything, it should be something of a compliment to the engineering. grizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
