in case anyone hasn't seen this before, all the money people spend on trying to get their zed to handle, apparently you just need to eat more pies, maybe that's why mine handles ok.

I have never seen or ridden any bike that did that, even in the days before I became built for comfort not speed. :D

I strongly suspect those were engineered to do that with dodgy suspension and/or tyres. Then again, it was a Dunlop advert - they were shockingly bad tyres so maybe that IS what bikes running Dunslip red horrors and the like did :wink:

Nothing wrong with my Zeds on Phantoms and Avons though.
