A friend has cracked one of his forks on a 125 piaggio scooter while refitting the front wheel. its a daily driver and going to take a week or more for a new one to come. What do yis think drive it on till then? or get the bus?
Axel is tight and pinch bolts are tight but the outer one has cracked the casting.
I vote bus, he votes drive on.
Looking at that pictiure again it looks like its also cracked on the inside

» Wes Cooley Dies aged 65 |

Oct 22, 2021 - 7:57 PM - by Unfazed

Anybody remember Wes Cooley on the Yoshimura Suzuki GS1000 in the AMA Superbike in the late seventies and early eighties, taking AMA title in 79 and 80. He won the first new style Suzuka 8 Hour in 1978 with Mike Baldwin on one and won again in 1980 with Grame Crosby.
https://www.roadracingworld.com/wp-c...1634845655.jpg
Those old big 4 cylinder 4 strokes were brilliant to watch with him, Eddie Lawson, Freddie Spencer and Grame Crosby
He died at died at home in Twin Falls, Idaho, on October 16, after being reportedly suffering from diabetic complications. He was 65 years old.

» New Roadblock N.I. Imports Re: VRT |
|
Oct 22, 2021 - 1:43 PM - by The Road Runner
|
Hoping to inform members on here about something new with VRT, I fairly recently purchased a bike in northern ireland .And didnt have to jump through these hoops.
So if you are lucky to find the right bike for you, condition , price, mileage etc, VRT ARE NOW ASKING FOR SERVICE HISTORY , MOTs Etc. Before they will sign off on the paperwork .. you now have to prove that your new purchase was born in Northern Ireland........and has been there throughout its life......fffs. If you buy privately and there is no service history you are at a standstill. delaying you for months. Extremely frustrating when you have done everything correct, they are again moving the goal posts.
Please comment on your experiences to confirm if you are experiencing this problem.

Dubliner Jack Kennedy dominated all Quattro British Supersport races at Brands Hatch this weekend and matches Karl Harris' record to become only the second rider to win three British Supersport Championship titles.
After a red flag crash that almost wiped him out, Kennedy came from LAST PLACE to finish 2nd in a restarted final race 3, to finish just 3/100ths of a second behind serial Moaner Mouth Currie, and make a total kunt of the pack in just 5-laps as he looked to consolidate his race two win earlier that secured the championship and his Bournemouth kawasaki team, running an older spec and under powered 636, the 2021 SuperSport...

» Considering a 16 Multistrada |
|
Oct 06, 2021 - 11:16 AM - by padraic2271
|
I am considering buying a DVT Multistrada 1200. I'm a sportsbike fan but would like to try something a little more comfortable. My main worry is all the electronics, am I asking for trouble reliability wise?
I have had a few Ducati's and know they can be finicky, although these were analogue bikes, without TC, ABS etc.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has owned a Multistrada, were theyr reliable etc.

» Wilson auction/bord na Mona bikes |

Oct 02, 2021 - 11:09 PM - by Brrm!Brrm!

Was at this on Thursday with a mate for a nosey...
A load of bord na Mona XL 250's and two Kawasaki kl something or other (one of them with the head in a plastic bag iirc)
The prices they went for....I can't me head around it.
A few of them were running,(3/4 out of 13) none were in what anyone would call "good" condition but all went for what I'd describe as "fucking stupid" money.
Bear in mind it was +23% vat +10% buyers premium.
Cheapest was €275,no tank,seat, various other pieces missing including bits of engine.
Highest was ( I think ) €2800 with the rest between €800-€1800. Add in the vat etc nearly 4k for a tatty,near 40 year old bike that's spent its life on the bog.

Anyone have a Honda pan european and live in your bog standard semi d.
After doing the nc500 a few weeks back I've convinced myself I need a proper touring bike.
Side entrance of the gaff is 84cm at its narrowest point. Question is, is it a major faff to remove mirrors and panniers to get in and out.
Yes, I have considered the fjr but after having a test ride on the pan I'm smitten.

» Ignition switch issue ST1300 |
|
Sep 29, 2021 - 3:38 PM - by chammer
|
Hi all,
I have a 2004 Pan European. It's the 1300 model, non abs.
There's an issue with the ignition switch. If I wiggle the key the lights go off and speedometer goes blank. The engine stays running and I can still drive but it obviously wouldn't be ideal if I'm driving down a dark back road and the lights go off 😂
Worried it might leave me stranded with no lights so want to get it sorted.
I'm wondering if anybody had a similar problem before.? Is it something that can usually be fixed by stripping and cleaning or am I most likely looking at a new ignition barrel? I'd rather not go down the new barrel route if I can avoid it.
Thanks  ... [Read More]

Having driven over a lot of loose chippings (Wicklow) on Sunday I now have a hole in my radiator and when the bike heats up water is pissing out of it.
Questions are 1. Is it worth repairing, 2. Anyone know best place to do it. Oem part is between 600 - 900 yoyos, and spurious part is about 80.
Also, before I start scouring the Web, anyone know a breakers with a cb 1300?

I have issues 12 to 125 that are becoming endangered in my house due to spring cleaning wife.... I told her it was fucking Autumn but she isn't a good listener.
Dublin/kildare area looking for 20e for the lot just to get a tank of juice out of them.
There may be some other mags like PB in the pile as a bonus.
I don't have the early money making issues unfortunately i was late to the party.
These will be great for someone in our next lockdown
