Motorbike Dealers

sleepysniper

Not sure if this is allowed, but thinking maybe it would be a good idea to make a list of motorbike dealers? It may be useful for someone who prefers to trade in a bike instead of selling it privately? By listing all the dealers around the country, especially the lesser known ones, it would give such a person more variety to choose from?

So if it is OK Ill start by listing the ones I am aware of:

There's a guy called Seamy or Seamus up near Mallow in Cork... Advertises on Done Deal Regularly.... don't use him.

Is that a recommendation not to use him or a statement that you have never used him?

Handy to have a list in front of you as well.
I found alot of info on bikeshops outdated from Google.

Good idea OP, would be even better to get a few extra details in there and possibly get them all mapped on a custom Google map. I think this was done before but its probably outdated.

Are you just doing dealers or also Mechanics? Here are a few more

Been down this round before lads, someone lists a dealer/garage and someone who got ripped off goes mad and slates them (rightly so) and thread goes arseways. As was said the internet is there for a reason google is your only man.

Zascar

Yes absolutely, I don't want to go down this route of a sh1tstorm again about bad service. Everyone's experience is different. When searching I came across this post from nearly 10 years ago which sums it up pretty good. No harm in having lists of shops etc though

Works well in the shooting forum. Same stuff comes up with people giving out but if its kept to a minimum it can be a helpful thread

I've a stickie in the Martial Arts forum for a clubs listing with an absolute 'NO CHAT' rule which works (NOW), without the no chat rule the thread was a cluster f*ck.

Good idea.
If someone wants info on a specific bikeshop they could start a thread and ask.

Zascar

Ok nice one. Lash them all in here and we can edit the first post to put them all in the one place.

I was originally thinking just dealers, but might be no harm to put in mechanics/workshops too.

I have updated the original post with the with everyone's suggestions. Thanks for the input folks, keep 'em coming.:cool:

Zascar

Nice one. Well done for adding other info like websites etc. Keep em comin' lads. Maybe we can split up between dealers and workshops - possible also location

I dont want too many stickies but I may have one that points to all the important threads.

There's a full list of Irish dealers in the MAG Ireland smart phone app and all were verified at the time (March 2013). Thinks a few have closed since, but it's worth a look as a starting point.

I wish I read the MAG letter they sent out, I spend €150 in halfords then a month later read the mag letter and found out I would have got a 15% discount there!

Looks like E-Motorcycles in Ballybane, Galway have just recently closed down :-( used them myself a few times, they were a good operation with knowledgeable friendly staff.

Ivors' in Shantalla still on the go .. his reputation is discussed in other threads!!

There is two small places side by side in Ballybane but they have mostly Lawnmowers...from what I seen on a recent visit.

Motorcycling in the Wheest is dying :-(

Indeed - eMotorcycle is gone.
Ivors is still there.
Sean Griffin is still going, in Clarenbridge, for repairs/service. V. sound.

But, for the first time in my living memory...and that's a long one....Galway has no motorcycle dealer of any kind, outside of Ivors. They've all gone to the wall.
