Welcome to the Addiction

I don't think age etc. has anything to do with it, I know people that passed their test first time but used to avoid roundabouts after they passed because they scared them. If people and the government are so bothered by this why not go the same way they did with motorbikes years ago and bring in a BHP limit until you have some real road driving experience without an instructor sat beside you?

Welcome

Me putting my view in bold lettering might not have been the right thing to do,I'm not anti firework. I was just trying to make the point that people bitch about terrorists threats and then go and by explosives from the shops

Me and my ex have two dogs that live with her one loves fireworks and the other is scared almost to death by them. They are brothers and have been bought up together in the same way so I don't think it is a training thing.What I do find funny is the fact that everyone goes on and worries about terrorist threats yet we still sell dangerous explosives in the supermarkets?

I'm not religious in any way but think that there is good and bad in all of us,each to their own whether it is religion/sexual preference/colour etc. The biggest problem we have now days is those that use religion and self importance to bully others into their way of thinking and the belief that what makes someone more important than anyone else is what they have in material or money worth and not the person inside. The few people that I do class as friends come from various religions and range from the poor to the well off but all have become my friends because of what kind of person they are not what they believe or what they have and all keep their personnel views out of our friendship unless asked for an opinion.

Hi and welcome check the radiator fans are working as the motors sticking are an issue and the middle of the exhaust as the standard one likes to break. But I'd say go for it as the only problem I've found is now I want a 370z. Make sure you have good tyres all round as cheap ones destroy the handling

Hi Harryjax I had the same issue when I got my Zed the fan motors were nakered here's one of many utube links to show how to strip clean & check your motors mine were beyond repair and I replaced the fans & motors.This was the first advice I was given by Mitz at Cougar Stores to check before I spent any money on new fans, apparently the motors giving up is a known issue and this is why I always go to him for advice and work as the most important thing to him was saving me money first rather than taking it off me TOP BLOKE

Cougar Stores replaced my middle and back section with a cobra and now I drive with the radio off and the window down all the time in all weathers what a sound Vroooom

Likewise about Cougar Store they do a first class job of looking after my baby Mitz & Andy

Problem is GM she wouldn't let you drive your car and the only ride you'd probably get is in the passenger seat lol

Welcome

Had my bike full licence 33 years now got a ninja 636cc with tunable chip and upgraded K&N air filter. Best bike I've owned handling wise was a Ducati 748s with tunable chip and race pipes but build quality was an issue then so went back to jap bikes for the reliability as at the time it was my daily commuter. Bikes I've Owned. Yamaha XS 250 Kawasaki Z200 Yamaha RD 200 Yamaha XJ 550 Ducati 748s Kawasaki ZX 636 Bikes I've ridden to many to mention from 30cc to 1000cc Enjoy the biking and be careful out there don't be lulled into doing anything silly by others there are plenty of Idiots out there on bikes and in cars.

Like I've said before I like the fact all the traders will recommend each other for what's best for you and not try and convince you to buy just from them to make a few quid also the amount of top grade mods that forum members themselves make and sell is second to none.

Got conti's on mine and the biggest difference was after I had the wheel alignment done cost a bit but now it feels like it's on rails even when having fun. 18 inch approx £670 fitted a set.

Sorry about the late update.Toms I wouldn't bother with the place I used he did a lovely job on the gouge and the re-spray looked good but when I was washing my zed I managed to mark the paint with my finger nail as it was so soft and thin and that was after a month to let it settle also his maskin takes a lot to be desired as I have over spray on the front grill and one of the headlights that I've got to try and slowly rub off without doing any damage. Nice bloke and good customer service but his work isn't up to the type of standard that you would expect or want on a car as beautiful as ours,sorry for the bad news

Always go with what you like the most that's what makes us all individuals and gives us all some new ideas at meets.

Welcome. Hope you're in good health as Mitz at Cougar Stores will try to convince you that selling your body parts to improve your zed is a good idea I only have one leg left now for the accelerator pedal lol SORRY MITZ

My zed is a 54 plate and I had to jack up the front and remove from underneath the car, only had to remove the engine under tray and disconnect one pipe.

Put my zed badge back on with some spare double sided sticky foam pads over a year ago when it came off whilst I was cleaning I had the pads lying around after fitting the alarm light to my bike. I bought them from the pound shop and just just cut to fit.

That's what I like about this site Traders recommending each other and not just in it for a fast buck

Welcome

Glad I left everything else till Sunday night and made the time to give her a clean my baby looks great in the pics Bat cheers ( ending in YPL )

Cheers for my First meet Mitz was really good and a lot of nice people to meet glad I took my first step into the big wide world of meets looking forward to the next one

Mine is a 54 plate and only had 36,000 on it last year when I got it,I use it as my daily commuter and average 5000 - 6000 a year but can do 1500 miles in less than a week when I go up to Scotland so go with the condition and feel on the test drive.
