You wandered across and spoke to me in Ponsonby the other day.

Also spoke with another cop at a check point in Western Springs a short while ago. He gave me a bit of a wind up about the damage and told me to go clean it. Wondered if it was someone from here.

Only the bellypan.

the damage? clean what?

Not I sir! I am concerned however that there is another "Zed" around town riding an awesome bike that I don't know about! I usually don't introduce myself as Zed either, unless it's a KB event.

Nice bike. Tell me, I remember that when the Blackbird was released (don't know if it was changed on later models) they had no adjustment for the front suspension. Is this the same for the X-11? And what was Honda's reasoning?

Did they consider the front kit to be good enough? Did they believe that owners would only stuff up the front settings? (As being a sports-tourer style bike few owners would look to improve the suspension for that extra sec off their lap times.)

I don't know Honda's reasoning but no, there is no adjustment on the front suspension.
