    Tax disc arrived in the post.

    I was thinking of buying a plastic holder and putting that on the bike keyring. A bit bulky perhaps.

    I think the disc in the wallet is the best thing, if you got a fine all you’ve to do is show your disc as it’ll be dated online when it was purchased and I would say it’s rare to ever get a fine.

    Thats actually a pretty good job, cutting a fairing out of cardboard is not easy task.
    Is that an underbone underneath all that fairing?

    She is in great nick, guy really looked after her, such a great guy, he’s going to drop down the Tent cover with it too. Got two helmets with it too, I’ll sell them plus bike pants exactly in my size. Great deal, great experience and the guy and his family were so sound, makes a deal so much easier. My mate rode the bike home for me which was an hour away.

    Are you able to register sidecar outfits that are on the right if they were manufactured before a certain year, or is it strictly LHS only.

    There doesn't appear to be a cut-off date in Ireland for right-hand sidecars. The only exemption appears to be for temporary imports (e.g. tourists)

    I haven't dealt with him personally, but I did a bit of research a few months back when he had some Blackbirds and all I could find was positive feedback. Seems to have very clean bikes and a very good record of service.

    Never bought off him but I have been there.
    Seems like a decent lad, straight up no messing.

    And some absolutely fantastic bikes.
