Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Do it quick, before you're 40 with a belly.

Dyna seems like the more sensible choice for the UK.

Do it quick, before you're 40…

That boat is long gone!

It seems like everything comes with Harley tax

Is that higher than Ducati tax?

While you lot argue about Harleys, I’m over here like…

What's all this then? Don't French bikes have MoT tests? https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/French-news/Motorbike-protesters-hold-anti-controle-technique-demo-in-Paris

Nope.

Knew Ireland didn’t but apparently;

European countries without mandatory RWT for motorcycles are Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal.

(RWT = Road worthiness test.)

In case anyone missed the recent advert on tv…

My Duc is pretty thrifty. Took it out for the first time in a couple of months today - goes like a steam hammer and feels a lot like riding one. Wheelies out of second gear corners like a good’un.

Then I went home and attempted to remove the seized engine from my Honda Hawk. You know when you start a job with the death wheel and a welding torch it’s not going to go well. And that’s exactly how it went.

Tenere is an ideal alternative to the 690 and has amazing reviews. Great deals second hand as well.

It's my wishlist bike, since a good used DR650 costs so much now, there's not a lot in it.

Yeah, I would really like a raid spec one. They just look so good.

People just seem to love them once they ride one. I would love a demo on one.

The Tenere looks like a very good option! I much prefer the understated paint jobs tbh. Hopefully I can test ride a few options before the end of the year. Friend has a multi strada and to me the frontend/cockpit just feels huge, which I want to avoid.

Tried on the Rukka stuff, very good..! Where is the best place to purchase a helmet, like you go in and they actually help you get the right fit? MotoLegends? Currently riding with a Shoei Ex Zero which is shite in the rain (bought in summer with no foresight).

Is this local to Swindon? Trials looks fun but no idea where to start!

I liked that. At first I thought it was a CJ250. But I don't think it is.

Next bike on the list for sure. Ticks a lot of boxes that in an ideal world, multiple bikes would cover. Alas…

Might as well spoil yourself and get the CJ360.

Yea I practice in the ditch near the house. Been trying to sort a spare bike to train others with (blind leading the blind) for students as they are doing their proper bike test, but it’s slow to find the capital.
