Garda Bike Auction Advice

[breathnach]

Hi Folks
Just wondering if anyone has ever been to similar auction as this one.
Old Garda bikes for sale. Some Kawasaki GT550 with ok mileage.
Not sure if they would be beaten to crap or do they look after there
bikes.

Been sed to me about garda bikes, there rode until its cheaper to replace them than run them, and all the very very cheapest parts used

[evok]

Was talking to a lad in the Traffic corps in Cork the other day and he was saying that most of the bikes are going 18 hours a day. All the servicing in the world won't do much good.

Depends on the bike itself. Them oul GT550 and 750s are tough yokes. If the Guards and couriers are using em ya know their a workhorse.

[kickassdude]

They're all probably clocked

Clocking isn't illegal in Ireland. Only lieing to someone when selling

Wouldn't mind though but if the price was right (under €1000) they'd make grand run arounds!

[scottser32]

suppose the gaurds who ride them have no insentive to look after them as there not there personel bikes so i cant see them being well maintainted or given an easy life
