» Can someone buy a bike for me? |
|
Apr 07, 2021 - 9:19 PM - by Chipped rim
|
I am in the market for an S1000RR or a GSX-R 1000 K3 K8 and I am unable to buy them even though I have the cash 
With the S1000RR
Called the seller, all good he sent me more pictures and agreed to meet a few days later. In the meantime I was going to get it insured as I don't have a van and was going to ride it back and asked the guy for the number plate of the bike. He said he will not give me his number plate as I will find his address and steal the bike as it has happened to so many of his friends then later I told him that I need this to insure myself and he calls me immediately with very aggressive attitude saying that I dont know who you are and you are...

» Irish Bike Prices ? |
|
Apr 02, 2021 - 12:46 PM - by Holy Moly
|
We'll, 3 months into the brave next world of Brexit, have Irish bike Prices firmed or flopped ?
I see pandemic payments in the US has sent everyone into a buying frenzy with stupid prices achieved on toys (especially off road bikes) and trucks.
I haven't been keeping an eye on the market here, but as a greedy fecker I have a number of bikes I think I want to shift on, wondering when the timing might be right.

Mate picked up an old Yam as per pick below, RD model, he's not really into bikes, just wanted an older bike to go on sunday spins. Think he got it fairly cheap and is going to spend a few quid on the cosmetics as it's a bit rough round the edges but seems to run great. He may want to sell it later in the summer, we don't know alot about them, question is are they easy to sell on and worth much if he wants to sell it on ?

I was on about buying new but realistically it's not a sensible decision for me at the moment.
I managed to wrangle this off my ol fella. 06 and 22k kms on the clock. Full luggage and wings.. a decent price too so we wouldn't fall out 
And of course she broke down already

Nearly time for a new one. Arais tend to fit my ugly noggin fairly well, but alway found them a little on the noisy side.
Of the other main brands out there - are there any which are a similar fit to the Arais, worth a try ?

The show is confirmed/planned to go ahead for 9th and 10th October.
Hopefully we will be long vaccinated by then but the clearing customs might be fun on the way back. Will have to get some fireworks to divert their attention.
The 'April' show is on 3rd and 4th July, a bit early for us, unless you know someone on the Board of the Beacon Hospital.

Not sure if this is the right section but I'm looking at a bike in Spain. Its uk registered but has been in Spain since mid 2019 in the owners holiday home.
My question is, does the vat and vrt go down the route of the new brexit rules or due to it being exported from the uk since pre brexit do the old rules apply, of just the normal vrt charges?

Thanks Principal......8 years of unbeaten quotes.
This year was the 1st year that I didn't even bother ringing the other crowds.
Who's left anyway.....Liberty, CN & AXA
AXA are the underwriters of Principal, and I think the only underwriters Principal have in the ROI, which made me smile when I asked them to see of they could do better on my renewal quotation.
Please hold for a minute while we check your details...........
We can recommend this policy from out underwriters...blah...blah...b lah

F900R even!
Hey all, anyone have any experience on one of these? Had a bit of hassle this year with the current and potential new bike and both have dealers in either Dublin or further away.
Closer to home is BMW or Honda CBR650 but really not that interested in the Honda.

Hi. After advise.
The givi rack gives my bike zero visibility of the tail light from the side.
