nicon2k Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 On occasion people have laughed at me for driving such an impractical car. Well today the joke is on them as I managed to fit my bike in the boot with absolute ease. You always see people with their more sensible cars struggling to figure out which way round that bike rack goes or how the back seats fold down where as I had no such problems. To get the bike in the boot I simply opened the boot, took out the boot mat, the sound proofing and then spare wheel cover and the car was ready. On the bike I effortlessly took off the wheel, then the seat, then the pedals, then the chain, then handle bar and then the forks and popped the whole lot in the boot. Simples! Quote
John tarantula Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 took the whole bike apart then? would do that with mine but the amount of grease everywhere would be horrible! Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I am fairly sure that taking the bike apart like that you could fit it in a smart car let alone a Zed Quote
DannyBoy Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Beleive it or not, you can actually fit a 1m square pane of 1/8 inch saftey glass in the zed Its practicality increases with your ingenuity. DB Quote

I am doing the London to Brighton at the weekend so i have cleaned the whole bike up. There is only grease where there should be grease! Quote
John tarantula Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 good on you! my two wheeled steed has never been cleaned and i just add more grease when it starts to dry out so quite dirty! Quote
NeilMH Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 You are obviously very keen. Perhaps you could try stripping down the Z and taking it on the bike for a serious challenge? Quote

AK350Z Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I already knew what you'd done before I opened the thread Have done similar myself once, made sure I had plenty of dust sheets about though. Quote
Sam Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 hope you have all/any tools you need to put it back together with you... Quote
