hiya!

[andyvanderpandy]

hello there! i guess the time has come for me to introduce myself, and my beautiful bike too.

so important things first, i have a zxr400L3 and its ace, as you all know.
its my first bike since i was 11! and i got it nearly a year ago, when i also passed my bike test.
most the time im a bit nooby on it and ride like a small girl, so if your in the nottinghamshire/s.yorks area and you see me, gimme a break please! but not to worry though, im 24, so i got time to perfect the art of not holding up traffic on the round-a-bouts.

this place has been really helpful as i begin to tinker with my bike, and hopefully i may be of use to some of you someday!

thank you kindly, andrew.

if your nice i may even post a pic... of the bike...

c'mon you lazy ass get the pics up.

welcome Andy to zxrworld!!

[RedexRobB]

slightly overdue but better late than never, eh?

Welcome matey, look forward to the pics!

[andyvanderpandy]

ok some pics! here is how she was when i first got her...

[andyvanderpandy]

then this is a few months after, id tinkered quite a bit...

[andyvanderpandy]

and if youre all good ill show you what the current look is! i gave it a service when i first got it, not because it was rough, but just because i was keen to learn stuff, nothin major has been required yet, the most taxing job being rebuilding the front calipers. the rest has been cosmetic, and ive done a bit of spraying too!

[masterofinsanity]

love that zxr on the back tailpiece, keep the pics coming mate!

[andyvanderpandy]

and here she is as of 1800 today

Hi Andy. Looks pretty good.

Am I allowed to claim some credit for steering you in the right direction? I'm assuming there aren't two andyvanderpandy's

d'oh.

[andyvanderpandy]

ha ha! yes, i think you and the good people suggesting zxrs in that thread have a lot to answer for... all good of course. i spend 900 on ebay on mine and so far so good, but with hindisght id say ebay is shite for buying something like that (or anything costing more than a tenner!) i picked it up from devon (im in nottingham), but it was all worth it!

[deviant]
