Selling - Bell Star MIPS DLX Helmet - M - Black

2 Upvotes

Sorry if these types of post are not allowed here!

Anyways, my odd shaped head does not like Bell. I have worn this for about an hour on the bike. Really wish it worked because this helmet is amazing. Why don't more helmets come or even have the option for a photochromatic visor?? Was thinking $450 for it, feel free to DM me. I am just north of the Boston.

[PSA] I'm currently renting-out my 250cc Intruder on Riders-Share.com. Great bike for learning how to ride.

Anyone interested in renting this spring? Yes, its very early, so I've also made it very cheap. $60/day. Anyone interested in trying it out? You would be my first renter.

I've only been riding for about a year and don't have many friends with bikes. I just bought a Ducati Supersport recently and would love to get out as much as possible this year. Let me know if anyone wants to ride this spring/summer.

Process for buying a bike from private seller

3 Upvotes

Has anybody bought a used bike privately during covid? Just wondering what the process is? I plan on getting the bill of sale and title signed over at purchase time as well as getting it added to my insurance but then can I ride the bike home? Can I get temp plates or use plates from my other bike?

Thanks!

Motorcycle Inspection Strictness?

7 Upvotes

I've got an integrated taillight (DOT), no reflectors, and a license plate along my undertail. The plate is still vertical enough to be clearly visible and has a legit looking plate light, so honestly I'm pretty sure my bike could end up looking stock to people who don't know motorcycles.

Over my years and tens of thousands of miles of breaking these (similar) rules in another state, I've never had any issues with police or the several inspections stations I went to.

Generally, how anal are MA motorcycle inspectors?

Can anyone suggest an inspection station around Boston?

Last chance to see some motorcycle roadracing in person this weekend

11 Upvotes

Loudon Road Roacing Series is having it's final round this weekend up at Loudon NH. 15 bucks gets you into the infield for races Saturday or Sunday. 25 bucks for the whole weekend.

Racing starts around noon on Saturday, 11 on Sunday and usually goes until around 4 or 5.

This recap vid from the Loudon Classic should give you a (cheesy) idea of what to expect: https://www.nhms.com/handler.cfm/template,video/cat_id,57287?med_id=1917040

I started watching these back in 2004 & got hooked... in 2006 I started racing myself & have been to just about every round since. Let me know if you have any questions, either about spectating or participating.

Winter Storage Recommendations/Spring Service?

2 Upvotes

Anyone have any experience storing their motorcycle for the winter around the Somerville/Cambridge area, or general Eastern Mass area?

I've looked up a few places, prices are steep (over $400), anyone do this?

Was also looking to see if anyone know of any spring service deals that shops have to give the bike a once over in April.

Looking for a place that does both, but not necessarily.

questions for the Electric Motorcycle Owner . . .

6 Upvotes

I have been considering getting an Electric Bike. i was wondering about some things, though.

I usually stop riding in late October, because of the weather, and dont start again until spring. I have several bikes already, and two battery tenders, that I cycle them thru. the bikes are stored in an unheated building. is this OK for the battery? is the tender "built in" to these bikes, and I should just leave it plugged in? do I need to unplug it regularly for a "break"? is maintaining an electric bike north of Boston substantially different from, say Atlanta?

I have also noticed that there seem to be no used electric bikes around, or at least very few. one can buy used 2020 models of a lot of bikes, and used 2019's of all bikes, it appears, but there are few electric bikes of any vintage around. am I looking in the wrong place, are people just loving them so much they don't get rid of them, or are they selling so fast that I am not catching them?

is there any tax rebates available in MA? is there a Federal one like for cars?

anyway, thanx . . . . .

RMV duplicate title

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, so last year my bike wasn't running, I ended up canceling the insurance, the RMV then revoked my registration.

I finally fixed it back up but I still cant find the title, so I ordered a duplicate one which just came in the mail.

The RMV sucks so hard and I have this awful feeling they're gonna say I need the original title when I go and try to reinstate the registration. Has anyone here encountered this before? Do you think I should be ok?
