As per the thread title,has anyone done it? Are there companies who can arrange the collection of the bike,as well as undertake the financial transaction and arrange transport and shipping to the UK? By this I mean a scenario where a bike is bought via eBay,sight unseen,and the delivery arranged including paying the vendor. Any advice and or experiences appreciated! Thanks.

Heyup peeps! ive been to the Woodcote vintage rally for the weekend with my dad and saw one of these in the vintage bike section a CZ Cezeta, a.k.a "Torpedo", i think its kinda funky myself, may keep a lookout on ebay for one it even has a little trailer on the back, but unfortunately i was crewing a steam engine at the time and wasnt able to see the vintage bike parade in the arena also in the bike section was a CZ 477 it seems that the owner of this bike had the same problem that i did with the rear brake, the original rear brake cable being made of unobtanium. this particular bike had been modified by means of turning the brake cam…

Hi, Firstly tried New Topic in the Wanted Forum, but I was unable to create a new topic, so I thought I'd try here instead. I'm currently in Chippenham, after riding down from North Wales yesterday. I ran into the back of a vehicle that braked hard and have damaged my front forks. I'm riding a YP125 Majesty. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone either has any parts or is breaking one of these bikes or knows someone who is? I'll be in the area for the next 5 days. Any help with this would be appreciated! Thanks, CalonDdraig

I cannot believe there isn't already a thread about this.... Sons Of Anarchy. A TV show starring Ron Perlman, Charlie Hunnam and Tommy Flanagan, about an outlaw Motorcycle Club in North California. Screens on the FX channel 10pm Tuesdays in the UK. Currently screening Season 1 - US is already on Season 2 So... who's a fan, then?

I've been watching 'discovery shed' mantellychannel, theres a larger than life character on there called the 'Salvager', a very endearing English bloke who turns scrap (timber,metal, and metaltimber) into ,well, scrap with knobs on, he has this 'vehicle' painted in red-lead (oxide), (deadly poisonous), I think he now lives in Fransh, has anyone from the 'other side of the wall' encountered this guy?

Soon to enter production is the Suzuki G Strider. This is the sort of bike kids like me grew up wishing actually existed.... and now it's HERE!!!! An answer to Honda's DN-01, the G-Striker is one of those half-Cruiser, half-Scooter jobs (the latter only because it's automatic) with ultra futuristic styling and fancy gizmos. Don't hold much hope for decent luggage, though Here's some links: Clicky Clicky Clicky What do you think?

Does anyone know how to get one of these, or if there are other models that used the same fitting, i just need it to certify but i cannot find one where. it is the secca model or xs400s

Hi guys, got my module 2 test on friday. I just wanted to confirm the correct lifesaver glances. I know that when lifting off, you need to check both mirrors and lifesaver to the right. but does this apply for when your turning right at the lights for instance. Or another confusing one is when turning left at a set of lights, left or right lifesaver? or both? I tend to to check both ways, but I dont want to seem like a cant keep my head still during the test, nodding all over the place. I only want to take the necessary glances. thanx guys Shabaz

I purchased a r1 a few yrs ago from a guy that was in the navy. He had the bike shiped in from another country. I cannot for the life of me find out how to decode the vin as to what country it came from. IE where bike was when purchased for the first time from a dealer.??//???Here is the enigma... VIN# RN041-019009 (there has been no tampering of any kind on the stem and this is what it says) Why only 11 digit and not 17?

Sorry to appear a bit thick, but just renewed my tax disc online and would like to know if i can ride till new one arrives as old one ran out 3 months ago and was sorn'd. Cheers

Died tonight was in a deep coma taken to hospital and he died .... on sky news now
