Title: Local ride out
Post by: rf9rider on September 24, 2011, 10:46:41 PM

Been out and about today testing out the Hagon and see if i`ve missed anything on the new Steamer.
First stop, smoke break and to check nothings falling off or loose?
New fuel tap has cured the fuel leak.

After a few more miles, time to stop off at the old Glatton airfield memorial.
A few others have posted pics from here before, so here`s my efforts!

Then after a few more miles, a stop off in a typical village, Hemington.
I was brought up a few miles from here, on a farm.

Then it`s time for home.
All in all, a good day, nothing fell off the bike, and pleased with the handling with the Hagon fitted. :D

Wanted to ride the roughest roads to try the Hagon out.
And thanks, the bike is in good condition, be even better when i get through with it :lol:

Believe it or not, i was doing 70-80mph along there with no problem!

Couldn`t imagine doing that on a standard shock :lol:

Yup, that's about right for the Tiger - even on the standard shock, but not on the 'Bird :shock:
