completely agree. The punishments are not proportionate to the crime anymore.

Yeah i know what you mean. My last one was a daily driver and it was sooooo expensive. Now ive got my 'Blade as my daily user and fingers crossed next weekend ill have a zed on the drive as well......... but keep that bit quiet, its a suprise!

Mate i know how you feel, ive been doing it for 4 years now, day in day out regardless of weather, and it does take away the love of biking for a bit, and then a nice twisty road on a sunny summers day brings it all back again!

if your that hacked off with it, why dont you sell it and try something else? Fook me its hacking it down here!!!!

It shouldnt stress you out poppet! I still take it youve fallen out of love with it?

phwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooar!!!!! aroused isnt the word!

so whats going on with your zed then saz?

well its nice to know theyre not all snakes then!

Who wants what then?? ooooooh they got hot chocolate in here today!

I think ill end up doing is replacing the fluid, make sure the calipers are in full working order, cylinder brace and fit braided hoses for the time being, and when i have some spare cash go for the full brembo (front and rear) setup. Cheers for the answers peeps

sorry bud, looks gash! reminds me of the old rover 214!

you made him go all shy again darrell

Mate youve got a very similar injury to me, apart from i tore some of the ligament that joins the quadracep to the knee cap. not wanting to put a downer on it, but im still suffering 3 years on...... How long they said for recovery? mine was 7 months before i could walk without a limp and was able to jog again. 9 month till i could sprint.

So which does everyone think is the biggest flaw in the design then? Is is that the discs are just too small, or is it that the calipers are just not strong enough. What im trying to get at is, is it really worth doing a bigger disc conversion and keeping the standard calipers really worth it, considering that one of the biggest flaws is the standard caliper itself?

See i thought that the R32 had the same 4 pot setup as us, its only the very last R32 Vspec II that got the brembos (prior to the R33's etc obviously)..... But ive never heard R32 owners complaining overly about the brakes?

Peeps, Ive been looking around at brake upgrades, brembos and alike, which is all well and good. But it got me thinking..... Why are zed brakes so poor? What is the design flaw in them that makes them so ineffective in comparison the zed's rivals? Now is it that they are just getting old and the calipers could do with a re-build and the brake system needs emptying and renewing? Because looking at the face value of things, they got 4 pot calipers with a reasonable size discs, and yet some how my mates legacy could outbrake my old zed and he only had 2 pots and pissy little discs! So can anyone give a technical reason into why the brake setup is soooo POO! Nick

like that! :D

I take it your talking about what david cameron was wittering on about in the papers. Its completely untrue that we need a supervisors permission to stop and search people, thats complete and utter pony! If your a decent cop, if someone needs searching the grounds will be there, you just got to ask the right questions. The only thing i completely agree with is cutting down on the paperwork thats involved in doing our job, which is making criminals lives as difficult as possible!

someone in an office somewhere has got far to much time on their hands!

you beat me to it!

Peeps, I need to get hold of greg, but i busted my phone a couple of days ago, and my spare hasnt got his number on it. Has anyone got it, if so either text me on 07810 334043 or email it to me on torque0fthedevil@hotmail.co.uk Cheers
