Default Risen from the ashes

Well it's been a year since I got the dreaded phone call at work that my shed had caught fire and my bike with it.
I thought I would share some before and after pic's.

I'm sure you are happy to have your scoot back in riding condition! Did you ever figure out 'how' your shed caught fire? That had to be an absolutely sinking knot in the pit of your stomach feeling...

Ride Safe!
