Southend Shakedown ( loads of photo's )
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 12:58 pm
So at last the day of the Southend shakedown is here........ and it's bloody freezing ( 37f )
I was a bit worried about the :cold: because as I don't usually ride in the winter I don't really have any warm gear, but with a pair of trackpants under my kevlar jeans, a nice warm sweater under my jacket, two pairs of socks and a scarf around my neck I was all set. It was OK to be honest, only my hands suffered really, as I only have summer gloves
First a quick ride up and down, before parking

Despite the cold it was a great turn out, and loads of great bikes where on show


There is thousands of sport bikes

There were some Trikes

the paint job on this one was AMAZING !!

"V-Max" Trike anyone !

Does this even count ?

There were some old Brits


James 2 stroke

Streetfighters




this one was very nice, think it's a Z 1000

Old Skool 2 strokes some of my personal favorites


very "trick" RD/RZ 350 LC with USD forks and a Banana swing arm




Heavily modified RG 500 Gamma


you may laugh at this "pink" bike, but this Aprilia RS 125 is capable of well over 100mph ( unrestricted )

And there are alway's Harley's some of them are also "pink"


This one was gorgeous
