Delighted with my ZSB. I have had it for 3yrs with no problems at all, it breezed through its first MOT, and still gives great service. Due to poverty I thought I would miss some of my favourite camping trips on my thirsty 750cc sidecar outfit this year. The answer was to weld up a larger rack that bolts on to the existing one, together with cloth panniers and the amazing Oxford expanding tank top bag, I am now equipped to camp anywhere
Very enjoyable video there, Dave :) You are a braver man than I venturing onto the A5 on one of those things! I'll stick to my Ford Focus and now the wheels are all nicely aligned by your good self the thing is as true as an arrow 😃
I'm 62 and currently riding a Zontes G1 125. It's brilliant. One of the best bikes in the 125cc range I have ever ridden. Kudos to Zontes. Live on the coast, Bounced off the limiter at 75 and used as my daily vehicle,. With 30mph headwind when standing still I need to upgrade! What's next? Unfortunately no service available in Shetland.
Rev, I will disagree on a garage that can't get the work done for two weeks. Sounds like they needed to hire help two weeks ago. Best thing I learned is hire PRN workers. Have them do the easy jobs like tires and oil changes, while the full time workers get the major stuff done. I was told at a dealership that they had 200 bikes that needed to get done, I told him he has 199 bikes as I took mone to another dealership. 😅
No good mechanics anywhere in our area,most bike shops are 4 weeks ahead due to amount of bikes we're doing well at 2 Local bmw dealer and kawasaki are 6 weeks ahead to book
@@RevBombUKyeah it's probably the folks who don't run them in and never service them who complain when they fail. I actually had a direct bikes thunderbird with a zongshen engine, the only major thing that ever went wrong was the original gear shift plate failed but a honda one fit. I never had any other issues after that and literally never serviced it except for minor things. After 3 years it was still in okay condition, and that was an 800 quid bike much much lower quality that the zsb. I'm really torn between an old 20 year cg125, a 5 year old Yamaha or honda or one of these. Just can't decide. Am skint at the mo so I'll just watch more vids till I get paid. 😄👍
So I've never heard of ACF50 and you have spiked my interest stupid question but what's it do and is it worth treating my suzuki gsxr 600 movistar telefonica to a dose of it you probably think its a stupid question but I've never heard of it cracking video as usual keep up the good work from joff the trucker
ACF50 is great stuff. I use it all the time and it does prevent rust on your bike. Just don't put it on your seat or any control areas. All you have to do is spray it on a rag and just wipe over your bike with it. For difficult areas you can spray it directly onto it.
@@MrJoffster no problem. I swear by the stuff. Also don't put it on your tyre's forgot to mention that lol. You will be slipping all over the place. It's ok on your wheel rims.

Crazy about 6 or 7 years ago you could buy one of these for new for under £1000 .... crazy times.
👍👍
Yep price increases quality stays low
@@techtinkerin quality is actually better now

@mtbelly1972 thanks for the information I'll see about acquiring some cheers for your help 👍

@mtbelly1972 🤣🤣🤣🤣yes don't wanna be slipping about thanks again for all your help
great for all year round protection and on the panels helps to let the dirt slip off when you was it just avoid tyres, pads and brakes
