Great News, enjoy!!

Is the date still the 19th of August? If it is the good lady and i will be there. 405 miles each way, millions of smiles both ways, can't wait to drive the 68 again, brilliant on a bike, as good in a car. Stu

Long way to go for 15 minutes, seconds, nano seconds of fame and to taste the catty litter............but hey im up for it. Stu

what like this! Stu

i sort of give homes to unwanted cars and bikes, well the price i pay for them they must be unwanted, L plate Cherokee, Q plate 600 Monster, 03 plate Yam XJR1300, KMX 125 for playin about on.......and i use the Zed as my daily driver!

i see the humor, but i also see 28 days of trying to convince someone your innocent

the driver of the red car knew the biker was there, knew that the bike was gonna go as soon as he had the chance.........and knew he wasn't gonna let him. the bike didn't have a chance, he kept going for the gap, lost, a lucky escape. i ride a bike i used to see something like this at least once a week when i used to ride during rush hour, until it happened to me, one of them BMW 4 x 4's who wouldn't let me past on a dual carriageway got sucked in.......paid for it. i know that whatever i drive i don't have the accelleration / manouverability of modern sportsbike and if a bike is behind me and weaving about i know that the first chance he gets he's gone, so i let him. A couple of questions for whoever wants to answer them, think before you do........ traveling fast down a country road approaching a right hand bend, you can't see all of it, do you cut the white line, even fractionally? would you see a bike behind you if it remained in the same position behind you at all times?

under the plenum at the front , under the throttle rod Stu

I have an NA and the radiator blew so i bought a KOYO from luke, found that the viscous fan would not allow the motor to warm up, some days the needle never moved off cold. being a bit of a simpson i then bought a Kenlow 10'' suction (£139)(thought that an NA would run cooler than a TT, it doesn't) found that the motor ran too hot, junked the 10'' and bought a twin electric set up for a modeo diesel from the local breakers (£25) and modded the Kenlow rheostat to fit, runs great now.......and my fingers are happier....thats another story. Stu

I guess you were coming away from Crail as we approached, we were in the Blue Zed you flashed, apologies for being too dim / slow to flash back, i did manage a pathetic wave but i think you had passed by then. Very nice Zed whoever you are. Stu

yeah my partner and i went, very cold and windy, on the way met a seriously yellow zed heading north as we headed south just by Crail, when we got there met sideways steve and flikz, got really cold, took the longway home, i think my N/A might be running lean.....got an overall fuel consumption of 36mpg! Stu

Just read this thread bought my zed in december must have been blind when i bought it , never been out from under the bonnet, but by god the smile i have when its working is unbelieveable. you'll get £20 from me, just give me details of where to send it Spongey = £50 Hellraiser = £20 Cybernet = £20 mgh297 = £10 Bantambunny = £10 Andy Isherwood = £10 SuffolkZX = £20 Stued = £20 Stu

very dirty but you could see the raw energy pulsing through it......parked up, so i walked upto it.......doh its mine! :hyper:

is it really cold down your way, has it thawed a bit then froze again, i know it sounds daft but could one of the linkages be frozen?

i take it that you've checked that the doors don't lock from the inside, mine did something similar, found that when you operate the lock on the drivers dor interior handle it operated the central locking, do this, then when shutting the drivers door hold the exterior handle up, voila the car is locked (before you do this check you can unlock the car from the passenger side) you'll then have to lean over to open the drivers door from the inside. Not used a key since i had an alarm that operated the central locking fitted. hope i made sense and didn't try to teach you to suck eggs. Stu

congrats, good health to you all

now thats gonna be funny

should be like the restrictions put on young bikers, let them have a choice of lesser powered machinery before letting them lose with the high powered stuff, although this does not stop a new biker from passing his test going to a suzuki dealership and buying a GSXR 1000 and having them restrict it to 35bhp getting the certificate to prove its restricted, and then getting it home and removing the restriction. but the only real limiting factor is experience......I used to ride sportsbikes real fast and in fact rebuilt a ZXR750 to World Endurance Spec (kawasaki france won the title 3 times in a row '89 to'92 i think) took it to the IOM for the TT in 2005 and raced a mate round the mountain section........fastest i've ever been in my life (when i've been in control), some way up hailwood rise we looked at each other and slowed down, the scary thing is that at 186 i (we) thought it safe enough to look at each other, when we stopped i spent some time thinking about the mess somebody would have had to clean up if i had lost it, or the good times i would miss for a few seconds of adrenilin. I still dont drive / ride like a granny, but stay well within my limits......

Aberdeenshire, Snowed then thawed a bit then snowed some more now it thawing again been like this 3 days now and i haven't seen a gritter once! 180'ed twice this morning on the way to work!! Stu Membership No.963
