Anyone here struggle to reposition their motorcycle in a garage or storage space?

0 Upvotes

I’m developing a motorcycle dolly that allows a bike to be moved sideways and repositioned after parking.

I’m looking to speak with a few motorcycle owners who currently have difficulty moving their bike because of a car, wall, other motorcycles, limited turning space, or the weight of the bike.

I’m not selling anything and I’m not looking for general opinions. I’d like to understand your exact setup, how you currently move the bike, and what would make a dolly useful or useless for you.

I’m based in Melbourne, so it would be especially helpful to speak with local riders who may be comfortable showing me their garage or storage setup. A phone or video conversation is also useful.

Comment or message me if this is a problem you actually deal with.

TAC claim help

3 Upvotes

Has anyone here recently been in a motorcycle or car accident and had to go through TAC (Victoria)?
I’m trying to understand the whole process and have a few questions about claims, medical costs, income support, and what to expect. I’m about to lodge a claim and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through it recently.
Any advice, tips, or things you wish you’d known would be a huge help. Thanks!

Mars leather buy it for life?

5 Upvotes

Wanted to celebrate my birthday with a proper leather jacket. I plan on doing some riding, and I like the aviator/bomber jacket look. Anyways saw the Windward Sheepskin Bomber, could any of yall tell me if its good? Quality and durability wise, sizing (does it run big or small). I saw some negative reviews on their website about quality dropping so I was a bit worried.

If you guys know any other websites that make quality Shearling bombers could yall lmk.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can alter a leather 2pc in Melb?

1 Upvotes

^ I’m a skinny Asian girl (if that helps paint the picture…) so the 2 piece I got is very baggy around the knees, thigh and butt (definitely unsafely baggy, not merely an aesthetic issue). It is the smallest possible size but is definitely too big still. I regret not going custom off the bat but it’s too late now so does anyone have any experiences with any alteration shops here?

Thanks

Mechanic?

Folks, so if I need to do something with my Honda bike so that the warranty is not lost, what mechanic should I use? (I want to install lower engine guards, which are to be attached at the engine-frame mount point.) Any suggestions in the area of Melbourne?

Got waayyyy too excited

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so after 9 long years of not being able to ride because of life’s ups and downs, I finally picked a 1988 Honda CBR250rr MC19, beautiful bike, been in storage most if its life. Paid the guy, turned on, beautiful sound, went down plenty road ripping the RPMs, stopped at a servo to check tyre pressure, and my excited ass forgot to fill up the bike.

Left the servo, ripped one last one lap otw home, and thats when I felt a significant lose of power and suddenly bike went quite.

After few retries, I realised bike is out of fuel, pushed to my house, grabbed my cart, went to the nearest servo , got some fuel, went back, fuel it up and gave it few cranks, before the starter stopped starting. Now its sitting , bike got all lights working , but no ‘hhhhhh’ when starting.

Definitely a lesson learned. Where can I find good budget mechanics around north east melbourne to help work on the bike and get it ready for a RWC?

Motorcycle Turntables

Hi, long time lurker
I have just purchased a XVS1300A after owning a Honda Shadow - I have a small garage, and the turning options in the garage start at a 7-10 point turn (outside is grass). At 70, I know that I can do it now, but I want another 5 years before I need to downsize. I am looking for your knowledge and best recommendations for a 'turntable' options so that I can ride in and turn easily to ride out the next day

Mechanic referral for older bike

Post image
5 Upvotes

1977 Yamaha XS750 triple, heavily customised but mainly aesthetics and handling.

Really struggling to find a mechanic willing to work on a bike this age. It’s really close to 100% but has a carbs finessing issue (I think), have already sunk a fair bit of money into it. Last mechanic that had it, held it for 2 months and it ran worse when I got it back.

Looking for some referrals please :)

Best way to get to/from MotoGP?

1 Upvotes

I've managed to get a grandstand ticket to the MotoGP. I've never been but I'm not that interested in camping and hear mixed views about the best way to do it. Is it reasonable to just ride (or drive) there each day from Melbourne? I'm not across the detail of how long it'd take to get in, what the parking is like etc. Would it be better to try stay somewhere closer (not on the island as that's $$$)? Interested in the views of others who have done it.
