    I've bought 20+ bikes blind from Germany with zero issues.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I bought my 8 year old 9,000 miles BMW K1300S in November from a dealer based on the photos. It is perfect.

    Each to their own.

    German bikes are probably in better condition than Irish ones - they have an NCT or similar I assume.

    Following on from that - what websites would you recommend for finding a nice German bike for sale? Are there any makes and models that offer exceptional value?

    Don't know the set up but I'd assume you'd be able to give it a once over on delivery and have the option of refund if there's something obviously wrong. They are some kind of a dealers afterall.

    Looks like it will arrive in Waterford in a special crate. So what are my chances of getting to Waterford from Cork in a van??........"supply/service/maintenance of motor vehicles ...are exempt from travel restrictions"

    I'd say you will be fine, your only travelling to collect your bike from a garage where it was getting serviced.

    What did you get?
