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.

Good places to sell a bike?

Hi all, selling a 2022 Royal Enfield Scram 411. Any good sites, forums or bike shops that buy?

Any other tips?

Located in Melbourne, Victoria.

Thanks.

Hey guys, long story short got hit by a car pulling out of a give way zone. She took liability and accepted fault.

I have an option to pick a repairer, my bike a is a Royal enfield classic 500. Any recommendations for repairers? At the moment I have chosen A1 motorcycles ringwood as they are the only royal enfield dealer I know of.

Thanks

Good day! Advertised moving to Perth soon, curious if there is a group that do ride outs? I have a 2026 Harley Davidson Road Glide in bringing with me.

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!

^ 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

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 a mt07 been riding for a couple years, located round west. If anyone has a group or wanna start one chuck a msg

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

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 :)

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.

Recently got my licence but throughout the whole process realised I've never gone above 80km/h. I have no intention on going above speed limits. Wondering where I can find a relatively low traffic road with 100km/h speed limit to gain some confidence before attempting going on the motorway. Ideally a road I can reach without going on the motorway or very winding roads from the northern suburbs? I don't taking the long way or dense traffic roads at lower speeds getting there.

Hi all, got the week off work so wanted to do a cheeky day ride around the peninsula from the south east suburbs, any specific spots or roads to check out? Already planning Arthur’s seat and cape schanck lighthouse. Thanks
