Davectr Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Finally got my Rocket all sorted and ready for the nice weather (and the lockdown to end). Got me thinking, what does everyone else have, I know quite a few of you have motorbikes (got rid of mine a few years back) and the Rocket is a similar(ish) sort of experience 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shunter8 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Here’s my current fleet: ’04 350 ’72 Phoenix Trike (Tuned VW Bus Flat Four) ’86 Suzuki Intruder VS700 (Acquired from my wife’s late uncle) Although trike is currently for sale and bike is taking a bit more work than planned chasing electrical gremlins as it was sat for about 4 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntelopeSam Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Had a drive in an Elise last summer before a friend sold it. Can only imagine what that things like to drive. I get torn between what to drive/ride when the sun's out. The Zed for driving to work... And weekends away with the other half, Yamaha Fazer thou when I feel like going quick,get bored of cars or fancy a road trip with mates. (The picture is of a Scottish summer!) Series 3 Land Rover for living the slow life. I spend a lot of time fixing it and taking it to car shows, also like to go Laning a couple of times a year of I can. Always see Zeds when I'm not in mine or other Landys when I'm in the Zed... just look like the crazy guy smiling and waving for no reason! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Summer toys is juggling between the Zed and the bike. Not bothered to take the Zed of SORN yet, not much point when it can only b used to go to work ad the shops. I was hoping to sell it to get a new summer toy but given the current climate I don't think it will happen this summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An engine swap is on the cards soon as it's currently got the standard 2.3L diesel with around 50bhp from new (they recon you lose one a year so...). A 200tdi is the easiest way to go and it keeps its tax exemption status. Just waiting for one to come up at a sensible price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Well you may have seen it before on other threads, but I've got this for the classic car shows: Sadly it won't be used much till next year due to CV19 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old cup was following me a couple of weeks ago on my way home, it was completely stripped and had a cage fitted. He overtook me and the car infront coming up to a roundabout and the thing had 0 body roll. Haven't seen anything corner like that before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I have a fender at home, got it as an engagement present, signed up for lessons, then proceeded to break my left hand playing football when living in Paris - was a lovely accident, snapped my pinky and wedding ring finger completely backwards, it was hurting to I grabbed hold of them and snapped them back straight, they made a very loud cracking noise so got back on the train to a hospital near my apartment, 2 hours there, before an ambulance arrived to take me to another hospital - wherein they stopped at a cashpoint for me to draw money out to pay them for the trip - before finally getting to a hospital that could treat me and finally getting pain killers about 3 1/2 hours after the initial accident. Anyway in short, I have a guitar, the scar tissue on my left hand makes it hard to play, mines in the loft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 MEV looks cool, whats the spec? I was lucky enough to drive a 400hp (Audi turbo lump) one round Spa, absolutely insane vehicle but kept hitting the limiter in every gear Still need to get my 2ZZ MR2 back on the road, in the meantime Ive got to put up with smoking around in this old Fiat: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 180bhp so not the quickest but certainly enough to have fun.
