Happy new bikes day. :thumbsup:

Damn, that's a bad roll of the dice. Thoughts are with you - and positive vibes.

I think the problem is that the guy's not registered the bike in his name, nor has he taxed or insured it. In fact I'm fairly certain that the authorities have no idea the bike's even in Northern Ireland. Not a good situation. Talking of the mileage limit over VAT. A friend brought a bike into...

Some observations about buying a bike and importing it into Ireland. I nearly bought another Moto Guzzi V85. A very low mileage 2021 model (this might not seem important just now, but read on) that came without luggage and seemed immaculate in the photos on the ad site. The bike was bought by...

Thanks for the words Austin. I'm still very much trying to get used to the bike as it's quite a bit different to the Transalp. After all there's only 18 years between them! The bike is quite a bit taller than I anticipated considering the quoted seat height figure. This isn't helped by my...

Well, now that the Moto Guzzi is officially in the country having been registered on a Donegal plate (after paying the €600 Vehicle Registration Tax!) and paying the Road Tax (€88), it's time for a bit of farkling. First off, a closer fitting front mudguard from an Aprilia 1200 Rallye (part no...

The WAW has become a victim of it's own success alright. Still, as you say, there are alternative routes (or very early starts) to avoid the tour busses. Around here the stretch of the WAW from Sligo to Donegal Town is not the most edifying part of the route and can best be described as a bit of...

Yep, still in the West although a little further north than you might be thinking of. We were in Galway City (other side of Galway Bay from Kinvara) but now we're in Bundoran, Co. Donegal. Still on the Wild Atlantic Way mind.

Hello and welcome back. New bikes seem to be the thing at the moment. Still got my 650 Transalp and have just acquired a Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel.

Donegal Diamond (which is actually triangular) after getting the V85 re-registered on an Irish number plate and a nice example of a V7. Didn't realise how small the V7s actually are.

Well, it's got two wheels....:)

If that's the north west Wild Atlantic Way then you'll have been not too far away from us.

Nope. Not a BMW. No one seemed to be around to play so I've given the game away over here

New (to me) bike at Lough MacNean just outside of Blacklion - Delivered earlier to day, so just had to go out and give her a spin. 2022 Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel with a shade over 10,000 miles on the clock.

Nope, not a Honda. Tick

...just been lurking in the background. To precis massively - life's been happening. Still here, still plugging away and now with more time on our hands. So - She arrives on Tuesday. Tick

Good grief, you admit to knowing Low Flyer? :thumbsupanim: Welcome to the asylum.

Where on Earth did you find that one - in someone's living room? 1,500 miles is 100 miles a year! That's ridiculous. Nice find.:thumbsup:

As a first step I'd have a look at the stop switch. It's not in the "Stop" position is it? Just thought that this might have read that I was being "funny". That was not my intention. The Run/Stop switch may well be in the "Run" position but corrosion of the contacts may well be causing enough...

A bit of fun from Ryan at Fortnine turning a Honda Rebel into an approximation of an adventure bike.
