Trying to buy the other half's old fella something bike related. He had a ducati years back and want to get him a model or t shirt of it. I dont believe its a 350 desmo (due to the tank and frame) any other ideasCheers'Hdzhi lads tryed to book in my uk bike and all centers are booked out till next year, i asked her will brexit effect me if i have to vrt it in january and she couldnt tell me as they havent been told anything.could i get caught for customs or something even though its not my fault ,anyone have any ideas, lot of bikes came in last monthAnyone here use Gerard O’Brien Transport to get their bike delivered from the UK? I'm thinking of using him.Howya fellahs, my last proper bike was a versys. Loved it and had to sell 4 years ago. Really missing the bikes now. Had a spin down to pit lane motorcycles In Waterford today.Loads of really clean bikes. Got a chance to talk to Glen and try each bike for size.Nice ST1100, Er6f, Diversion xj6 and a SV650.Really liked the Yamaha and the Er6f but I think the pan is the best value.Prices are a little dearer than DoneDeal but no DoneDeal ‘minters’ there.Which of those 4 would you go for?https://www.pitlane-motorcycles.com/...torcycles.htmlI have seen these Osram spots on a VFR1200X before and though they looked good. Has anybody any experience with them? Or recommend something else.https://www.osram.com/ecat/Cube%20MX...8/ZMP_4056510/Hi guys just wondering how much it would cost to spray the wheels on a z1000 any ideas?? And is there anyone around thats good. Thanks in advance folks anyone got a 1988 Suzuki gsxr 750 slingshot manual, looking to see cable routes,carb balancing and plenty of diagrams to see im putting her back together correctly , is there a free download i can use or print off ?Never had a cruiser.... Looking at one of these hopefully in next few days.Aside from the very obvious, what are the walk away issues, what do I need be wary of? And basically are they any good? Many thanks MikeI want a lighter more reliable battery so is there any disadvantages of lithium battery ? now that they can be got for almost same price as a gel batteryfolks i have original slingshot m/s exhaust, i have 3 no link pipe gaskets and dont fancy ordering another, would wire wool be enough to do the job as the clamp will be right at it, dont want to use cement gasket either, the other 3 are like wire wool packed in to a shaped pipe sleeve ? thoughts ?Double Quattro British Supersport Champion Jack Kennedy will return to the middleweight class in 2021 after signing with the DB Racing Kawasaki team.Kennedy spent last season struggling on problematic Yamaha R1 in the blue riband class but has opted to go for a third Supersport title next season.“I’m back to fight for title number three in British Supersport but this time with a different team and manufacturer so I’m looking forward to the new era ahead,” said Kennedy.“I’ve had success with nearly every other manufacturer in British Supersport so the challenge now is to do the same and put an... [Read More]Jumped on this last week on eBay. Had been eyeing up Hypermotards and had a few runs on a 950SP but they don't quite do the job that these do. They are getting rare now with low miles so took the plunge. Not selling this one as I always regretted getting rid of the last.4k Miles and it was stored in a heated garage for 8 years. The tyres are the originals from Nov 2009!upload photosWas watching the reviews of the new Ducati MS V4 last night and nearly fell off the couch when I saw the price. Ducati aren't alone here, to be fair, but it got me thinking.Is there a correlation between the increasing average age of bikers and the cost of new machineryI know you can go on done deal and pick up a clean bandit 1200 for 3k and you are in the game, but someone had to buy that bandit new. With the VRT rules and brexit, UK imports will become less and less on the roads here I'll never buy another Ducati. My own words at the time but like many former resolutions, my resolve has waned yet again! Rose coloured glasses or maybe some repressed masochistic instinct has me once again trawling the virtual waters of donedeal with the 'D' word firmly inserted in the search bar.It's the Hypermotard this time catching my fickle eye, preloved of course and either of these two siblings the 796 or 821 so as not to play favourites.Would you with experience of either try talk me out of one or into the other? Or am I destined to play it safe again with a low mileage CB1000r?See some great deals around at the moment on the Metzler Roadtec Z6 sports touring tyre. Don't know much about it other than it has been superseded in the Metzler lineup, but that doesn't say much I know.It would be for a heavy bus and something that will likely never see any limits anywhere.see pics of mine. off a 2002 ZX12r...yes i knew of their charging issues.fully rebuilt that stator back in 2012 with West Country Windings and also fitted Mosfet Reg/Rec kit. all like a clock till recently noticing poor battery performance. battery only bought May 2019thanks in advance... [Read More]On the hunt for new sprockets and my bike is not listed on any lists anywhere I look....but I did come across this chart which may help to decide on different configuration possibilities....Wheelies here I come !!Anyone here doing chrome plating or is it something I'd have to send to the UK to get sorted properly?Have some chrome pieces coming that are new but I've been warned the plating is thin so it has no warranty for corrosion. As they are made by a company in the middle eastNot sure of clear coating it will make it last any longer as I have no experience working with it but at literally 10% of the cost of a genuine piece £65 vs €730 i said i'd give it a go.I am looking at buying a project bike from a known to me seller but it has no book and is not in his name (Given to him by an elderly now deceased relative).Is there much hassle to getting a book for such a machine with no proof of ownership and what is the procedure?I have the reg and frame and engine numbers.There are loads of ads on donedeal etc with no book but can be easily got which I have never considered even looking at based on the thinking that if its easy got, wouldnt the seller just get it before advertising the bike.I know this bike to be legit but not going to bother if its hassle to get a book.Here we go, it's going to be slow progress but I don't care, I got a 1980 cb900f frame with the intention of building something like the original but with some upgrades and tweaks, it's very early stages as the pictures show but I will post more as I go, ( for anyone that's interested ).Some plans are beefier forks, ( not usd ), different wheels, bigger engine, standard tank, panels and tail, after that I'm undecided, but some of those ideas can change too, anyway here goes. ... [Read More]Have several single carbs that will need a seeing to at some stage. Also want to service the ZRX carbs when I pull them to sort cables and a Q.A. throttle.Thanks.Lads, has anyone recently taken they're test, apparently you have to bring your own earpiece , the rsa website shows an earpiece and it says it must have a 3.5 mono plug but the picture of it looks to me like a stereo plug, any one know who sells these ?Looks like it's going to be a pain and more expensive to import a bike post Brexit 1st jan 2021.Taken from the Revenue website:VRT implications of importing cars from the UKAfter the transition period, if you import a vehicle from the UK, this may be treated as an import from a non-European Union (EU) country.Used vehiclesVehicles brought into the State from the UK before 1 January 2021 can be registered as normal.
