yes that's ours in the pic, but it's slightly different now had all leather & seat recovered , solid chrome wheel and discs fitted on the front, custom made stainless steele exhaust, polished stainless steel luggage rack and custom made bag to suit. We also tow it on the back of our motorhome.

Green eyes??? I used to ride a Panther 600 and I also had a Norton Atlas. Proper bikes they were, not pretend American bad boy bikes.

Aye if anyone has an old brit bike rusting away in a shed and want to donate it

A Vincent Black Shadow would be nice, or a Velocette Venom ( ok a viper ) at a push..

The latter I was offered back in 1982 for £250 but I had just started work and was frankly skint......looking back how I wish.

I have had a few Jap bikes and a beemer and all to be fair have been good...but there is someting about an English motorcycle that does something the others cant.

Panthers I understand were good side car luggers. I have a BSA A7 SS and a tank from an old M20 at a guess...tha tis surplus to requirements if any one needs one

Well ajs it seems like the answer you gave is to offer to sell stuff on a legit question i asked, do not start bad mouthing me over this i am not ignorant as for getting answers i didn't get any up to the point of you offering to sell a bike ( if harleys are so crap which a lot of bikers think they are then why the hell do the japs try and copy them?) next time you offer to sell something put it on another post and point poeple in the right direction dont start badmouthing others off for your mistake. and certainly dont call me a tvat you are out of order.

couple of things


a) i don't give a sheet what bike you or anyone else rides...if you can't take a tease and feel the need to get aggressive and threatening then perhaps your not cut out to use forums.

B). here you go again.. presuming to tell others what to say or not to say and where... you are not a moderator of this forum.... furthermore you are in a general discussion arena.

c) as for answers...i see several... and i also see several "off" topic replies from several people since...also if you care to search forum history this topic has been raised several times before.




by the sounds of it...and the tone of PM's recieved
i think you just want to cause trouble here.. it must be a hairy biker/rocker thing...
reputation precedes and all that... if i'm wrong on this point then demonstate it for all to see.

well there you go again ajs ranting throwing your teddy out lets remind people that you are the one that got abusive threatening to let others know that i am a obnoxiuos tvat, you are right i am not a moderater of this forum, i put a question on expecting decent replies kontikki just mentioned he would like a bigger bike then you came on offering to sell one, i am entitled to reply to others just as you are but as soon as someone says something you don't like then the teddy went flying just get back in your pram. the answer you gave was not in jest and if the majority of people on this site are like you then you are right i will go else where, just grow up and take it like a man.

trailer

Hi

A friend of mine is selling his motorbike trailer. It has hardly been used.
It is the type of trailer for transporting large or small bikes.
Price: 100euros

Max load

Hiya,

A Bike trailer for my Compass Avangarde 100 is on my wish list, ( 05 Fireblade + BMW R1150R).

I have yet to enquire as to the max load my boxer based unit can legally tow, the blade is 172Kg and the R1150R is 232Kg.

So, trailer weight + bike weight may be a limitaion.

At 404 kgs you still have change particularly if you passed your test prior jan 1997.you can tow up to 7500 kgs van and a trailer not exceeding 750 kgs.
(8250 kgs mam C1 entitlement)naturally this could be broken down to 3500 kgs van 2000 kg trailer.

I seriously doubt a trailer will weigh 346 kgs.( trying to keep it simples)

Post Jan 97 you are limited to 3500 kgs mam which means 2800 kgs van and 750kg trailer combined weight. provided you dont exceed 3500 kgs if post 97 then no problem.

The legal implications are your axle weights the rear particularly and the potential noseweight on your towbar which the guideline is 7 percent.(noseweight is not a legality a recommendation )

Tbh you are well within the limits, a trailer with both bikes weighing for eg 600 kgs means the the noseweght on the tow bar is 42 kgs ...most towbars are rated at 75 kgs on lightweight cars ..vans tend to enjoy a slightly higher tolerance.

Your only potential issue to the letter of the law is ensuring your rear axle is not overloaded.

I hope this helps
