Anyone here ride motorbikes?

Ah, what was I thinking with beast?

The motorbike appreciation thread is where we usually chat bikes. Don't think that merging the threads would be a good idea, as it might alter the thread.

Back to the bike, the seat hieght is quite low...Have seen one of these as a motorcycle combination with a trailer. Not a caravan, a trailer.

The seat height is adjustable.

Just bought this

Is that bag fireproof?

That's the reserve petrol sack

A street-fighter café thumper?

Somehow it works.

@Velocio or @hippy Any chance of a merge?

Just found this thread to ask a question.

Seen some bloke regularly on my commute who rides a cafe racer type thing. No mirrors or indicators.

Is that legal?

Depends on the age of the bike.

As @M_V says: If the bike is pre-August 1986 it doesn't need indicators. Mirrors are not compulsory.

Post-86 if you have no provision for carrying a pillion passenger you don't need them either. It's enough to have no rear footrests even if you have a dual seat. The loophole is there to allow enduro/trials bikes to be used on the road between sections/stages but is equally applicable to the trackday/chopper/cafe racer crowds.

Cheers!

Also if it is a British twin all those parts could have shaken themselves loose and fallen off.

Thread dredge! Does anyone know of any collectors / bike nuts - preferably in the south of England - that might have a Zündapp KS 750 or any other German ww2 era motorbike in their collection?

The other motorcycke thread is much more active. Maybe try there too:
