I unfortunately need to leave the bike parked for about half a year while I'm away. The underground parking has no plugs, so I can't ask someone to plug in the optimate charger every now and then.

Any suggestion for a portable AGM charger (so it doesn't require to be plugged in to charge the motorcycle), with a SAE connector for the bike?

good morning all, I am thinking of buying a bike with no book, it's at a shop, both keys present, it is Irish reg, came back from cartell, all clear , as never stolen,no finance, never written off, engine number match,vonly thing owner is gone back to home country. How if possible can I get a book,?

Anybody know of anywhere open that can plug a tyre for me?

Potentially buying a racing/ track bike tomorrow. Cbr 600 f3 so pre injection. Anything to watch out for or know? Also is there any specific paperwork I can ask for to show it's not nicked? Seems a decent bike at the money (in the UK). Just had a full engine rebuild. Guy is thinning the herd. Very large collection!

Im with carole nash at the minute, but the renewal is nuts, i believe principal also do multibikes, anyone else?
Not looking for anything but names of multibike providers, thanks lads.

There's an anodised looking top yoke cover on my bike that I'm looking to remove so that I can get a phone holder to sit into the hole within the yoke, I'm assuming this is just pushed on over the yoke nut but if anyone can confirm please before I go at it.

Tried some gentle persuasion but it's not lifting

Hopefully I can attach a photo I took

Howdi ,
I recently bought a Red 79 CBX 1000 Z and I am looking for any info associated with this bike. It is an original Dublin bike UZH reg. If anyone knows anything about this machine or knows anyone that might I would be very grateful. It is currently being restored and will be back on the road for Summer 2019 hopefully.

Cheers

Hi, the headlight on this bike is absolutely horrific. the worse I've seen and I ride everyday through phoenix park where the deer tend to be close to the road at night...

Can see much... the light is diffused too much can't see far...

I changed the bulb to an osram night breaker which improved visibility a bit, I then added 2 LED auxiliary lights which improved a bit more.

Surely there must be something I can do to improve that headlight???

Anyone succeeded in improving their headlight on their GS???

Isle of Man TT star Dean Harrison will embark on his second full Bennetts British Superbike season in 2019 alongside a full year of road racing.



Harrison and the Silicone Engineering Kawasaki team are one of the most formidable contenders on the roads, but have combined their efforts to contest Bennetts BSB, with the Bradford based contender edging closer to top ten finishes during the 2018 season.

Hi there,

Buddy of mine thinking of importing a bike from the USA, it's a Goldwing worth approx. $8k USD and is wondering whats the general process for this.
Are there any guys doing business out there who handle this for a given fee?
Does anyone know what the typical cost of importing a bike from the USA would be?
I know there would likely be import tax and registration fees etc. but would be good to hear from anyone who has done this already or used a shipper to manage collection, import & delivery etc?

Your thoughts?

Very well put together film. It's on what we'd probably all like to happen when any bike gets stolen!

Hi all,
Querying if anyone has experienced issues with a vfr800 gen6 starter switch. Bike has been difficult to start in the last couple of months. Some days it starts when pressing the start button once. Other times it may take numerous hits of the starter switch.

It goes through the fuel pump primer cycle fine, even turned the ignition switch on/off (plus kill switch) numerous times and the pump primer cycle seems ok.

Sprayed some wd spray (contact spray in it) and I think it helped for a bit. Original problem is back, Am I wasting my time and just replace the switch (is there a online breaker in irl to source the switch)
Cheers

MotoGP legend Mick Doohan believes that Honda newboy Jorge Lorenzo has no excuses left for not winning another title as he will have the same equipment as current team-mate and reigning champion Marc Marquez.



Doohan, who was generally regarded as having been gifted the fastest 500cc Honda during his domination of 90's Grand Prix that even a trained chimp could win on, thinks having both riders in one camp can only be good for the Honda Team as it will help to... [Read More]

Hi so I'm looking to get my first bike as I need something cheap to get around. I'm a college student and money is a little tight so I've been looking at ninja 250s from the UK and they are much cheaper there even with VRT and Shipping costs included than just getting one here. Just wanted to ask how do I go about getting one shipped from the seller to my doorstep?

World of sport will include a bit about Barry Sheene.

I think it has been on before .

Electic bike riders can now experience the 'character' of a real motorcycle!https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/...orcycle-jocks/

Edit: the bloody Jocks hack has fecked the link :) How do I delete??

Bit the bullet and got one after two months of procrastinating.

Picked it up at Ducati Aylesbury over in the UK very nice guys there will be back there one day.

Ducati 848 Evo Corse SE 2012
In love with it.

Whats the story with ktm and reliability lads? Ive heard horror stories but like everything else they are probably inaccurate and exaggerated, anyone here know the real story? Is there any particular bad model? Just interested for a friend

Are there any sidecar owners on here? I'd love to try one but don't think I will have money for one for quite a while. I think even being a passenger would be great. I don't see many for sale and would be more interested in a Ural/Dnepr/Royal Enfield look rather than a Goldwing/sofa.

you dont see many bikes on the road anymore. season granted, and the used bike market seems to have dwindled to almost nothing. Is biking finished here?

Folks any power difference between ZZR1400 and the performance model from 2012 on I see akra pipes can’t see any details other than that

Is there a way of getting the registered owner details of a bike that been sat in a car park for over a year claiming dust, it just needs a wash and a service and she’d be flying and I want it!

I’m sure this has come up before but I couldn’t find a thread on here.

Anyone know where in Ireland I can get mine repaired . ON button missing...thanks

Tonight it will be all about Norton .

Last night it was Triumph.
