I need a new front tire for a 1999 Suzuki GS500e that I just purchased. I have found a ton of great deals on tires online, but I am unsure how much it would cost to have this tire mounted at a motorcycle shop. Any pricing estimates would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi I want to open my own business in London. I want a motorcycle shop, I gather it would be cheaper to start my own than buy, what do I need to do to start the business? Do I need a license from the council? or can I get a place to rent and just start repairing bikes and selling secondhand ones? I would also like to sell helmets and other bits of stuff as well.
Has anyone done this?
I know bikes and have a partner who is interested in doing this with me.

im getting my learners permit soon, but before i do i want to do my research into protective gear because obviously motorcycle riding can be dangerous. ive decided i want to buy a yamaha xv250 virago for my first bike,
so i was wondering what the best protective gear to buy would be?
ive looked at many web sites but theres such a big range of gear that i dont know whats better. im mainly after the safest and most comfortable armoured gear (plus something that looks ok as well), money isnt really a big issue as long as the money is well invested. i want to buy every piece of protective gear from my helmet to boots to gloves to pants etc etc. and im after gear that is fairly visible (for obvious reasons).
obviously i'll prob have to go to the motorcycle shop and try on the gear
but i just wanted to get an idea of what types/brands etc of gear i should look at. also any other tips would be great!

thanks in advance

I want to bike a bike from Wizard of Wheels in Crete, IL. It's a family owned motorcycle shop which seems very good but I know with these shops you have to be very careful. If you have any other great motorcycle shops close to the south side of chicago let me know of them...Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki only!

at 0600 I discovered it missing. I called the police and they took a report. They asked if I would prosecute and I said I would. The police officer said it was a class four felony. I asked if they were going to come over and take prints and they said no. Knowing that the motorcycle had a nail in the front tire; they would probably have to take it in to get fixed, so I visited every motorcycle shop within a five mile Radius of my house to give them a heads up on the stolen bike. they were all pretty open to help me out. I have searched the whole neighborhood. One neighbor said she thought she saw it in the back of a pick-up truck and gave me the licence plate number; I'm not sure how to run a plate? Is there anything I'm missing? I feel helpless; I'm not sure the police have time to look for it. maybe they will stumble upon it. I feel guilty; It's my fault I know!!

Just bought my first motorcycle helmet and I was wondering if putting stickers or decals messes up the strength of the helmet? Thank you.
berrytra...No I don't have OCD, Im just asking a simple question about a helmet. Geeze!!!!!
I bought a Caberg helmet and I bought a couple stickers at the iron pony motorcycle shop. I don't have a bike yet but I want a Harley!

I'm looking for a motorcycle shop in Sta. Ana California that sells accessories for Ducati as well. I need a brake lever to be more specific. I have a friend visiting there that agreed to buy one for me just as long as I give her the specifics. Thanks!
