Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

In other news spotted this online and thought mental, but also genius.
That thing on the front is a fridge! Also has a shower, outriggers for snow, ice and frozen rivers (also ice right?)

25 euros less than asking lol, but it runs nice and rides smoother than the f650 i was riding. Rear had a semi-knobbie and front a tiny bit so gravel and stuff should be doable, we don't have much more in the Netherlands

Got a mate with a halfords trade card? Get 20% ish of batteries. I've got a yuasa.

Ok. Found a cheap Yamaha cbf 500 which will come with 3m warranty so.goimg to buy rather than rent

Any suggestions for insurance @Soul or @skinny Probably go 3rd party only, maybe f&t too depending o cost.

High mileage but seems solid. Need a top box and helmet too

Anyone had experience of SOS Motorcycle recovery?
I've got a p_nct_re and awaiting a mobile mechanic.
It's a tubed tyre, so not hopeful of a roadside fix

Yup. Arse end of nowhere in the middle of winter. Under an hours wait. Problem sorted and I was fed coffee and cigarettes.

Nice, just had a call they are 20mins out.
Hoping they can sort it, if not I have a garage just down the road from my flat they can drop me at

My mates just traded a tidy cbf500 into a dealer in Glasgow, if it's that one, it's good.

aaaaand gone. Fuckballs.

?

Stolen?

Yup. Two days short of a years ownership..

Fuck. That's really shit mate.

Any idea how it happened?

cock. really can't have a bike in london.

Hope your excess isn't big! sorry

Broke through chain, snapped steering lock and wheeled it down the road. It was reported dumped down an alleyway but police didn't do much due to resource shortages and the fact that it was 'only dumped'.
I went to check it out as it's only around half a mile down the road. Not there, asked around and a local said, and I quote 'Might be better you don't see what it looks like now'.

Just had the damned thing serviced and re-insured.
@skinny it is.....

sorry man.

Ah sorry to hear.

So am I man. Pretty sure this, along with all horror stories, will be it for two wheels for me for a while.

@lynx Got my springs and emulators delivered early last week to boot.

It is London based so unlikely.

That's terrible. Stay strong.

FFS, it sounds like an epidemic in London.

Shit man. Sorry to hear that, police up here have all but officially given up any kind of resistance to it. Even dumped and found bikes are being ignored and left for individuals to intervene (and risk being done for the theft even though they are trying to help).

Meant to say, your BMW is looking well. Red sandstone looks like the West End. Mibbes try an adjustable spoiler on the top of your screen to ease the buffeting :)

Fucksticks @Chak sorry to hear that mate.

Bought mine, a gel battery from seller on the bay 'brookbarnparts'

Just spamming again before going to eBay... Dainese Torque Race In boots size euro 45 (Bregsit 10.5) £90 collected from Old Street or delivered for £100. Only damage to mention is scuff to the removable toe plate from a couple of track days. More images here.

(really sorry to hear about what seems like a recent spate in bikes getting stolen from on here types)
