Congrats on passing mate. I passed in early May this year and am loving being on the bike.. The S2000 has become a garage queen that only gets used for trips to work and the supermarket now...

Hi Kev, I'm near Southampton, so not too far away. Not going to be a le to do any touring. I can't take the time off, but if the weathers fine I'll come out for a blap. Get the pics up & the rubber side down
Sweet, might come that way tomorrow afternoon if the weather is good. Will give you a shout.

Anyway, here you go..Pic of my Z.

I am still missing my S..even though I sold her over 5 years ago, but you are right...I know the feeling..really loving the Z. I can't wait to get back on it again.

well done Kev!

long way round?

i cant do more than about 80 miles on my cbr without needing a break unless i can keep the speed up

wouldnt be ideal for a roadtrip

dont do what i did (write off bike within 12 months of passing) - remember this one gem for noobs.. if you're going into a corner too hot get off the front brake and on the back....
Long way round? I struggle riding from Bournemouth to Poole and back again Seats on the Z aren't exactly the most comfortable.

Kev, where did you do your test?

I did mine in Dorchester. One NSL road in total.

Sweet ride. Not seen a Z in White in the flesh yet. Best advice I got was to try not to brake or accelerate on a big lean angle. Hope to see you around.

I ended up going to Salisbury. Didn't really have much of a choice as there weren't many slots available.

A non-biker question...what do you guys use to prevent the visor misting?

The Shoei helmets come with a non misting internal visor. Not sure about the other makes.

When I used to dive, we used to sometimes spread a thin layer of fairy liquid on the inside of the visor (although mostly we spat inside them).
