Jonny's Bike Check
Jonny, the street shredder from Giffnock sent us in his bike check. Jonny's a big lad who doesn't really hang about on a bike, so anything that he rides must be pretty tough.

'Alright? The weather is so bad, just looking at ma bike is making me want to ride, So I thought I'd put ma time to use and do a bike check.'
