I bought my current bike with 19,000 miles or something a little under it a few months back and today it hit the 30 grand mark.. it gets regular oil changes and is looked after as well as it could be, i do use it every day but I was wondering now that its hit this is there anything major that should be looked at or in the near future? valves, cam chain etc?
its running perfectly and doesnt miss a beat but its i often read about lads needing that kind of work with a lot less miles on their yokes.
Buddy had a mishap wit his R1, cracked tailpiece in 2 places. Bike is a 98 red n white, the collectible one, so he wants it done right, so who in Leinster area is the best iyo?

My Harley MT-350 is still missing after being stolen in April, so had to replace it with something. With my current obsession about Falklands War - what else should I look for other than CanAm?
Met the seller yesterday in sunny Wales, exchanged few coloured papers for piece of rattly metal, shook hands and each of us went his way/
On the way back to Dubland - brings completely new meaning to words: 'bondage' and 'strap-on':

Randy De Puniet and Nobuatsu Aoki have given Suzuki's 2015 MotoGP challenger its first public airing at Barcelona this morning.
Based on the K5, the 1000cc inline four which has had its debut in the blue riband class put back a year to increase development time, has been lapping the Spanish circuit this morning but appears not to have a transponder attached.
I was going through some photos in the grand mothers in Cavan at the weekend and as it does be when someone passes away you go through memories etc, well I found a picture of my second bike (it was battery powered but I loved it) it was a little Honda replica it was red and white and had micron pipes coming from inter the seat and on the side, it was probably a replica of an nsr or something but I can't even find pictures on t'internet that look like it. The only picture I found was of the back end of it.
I was wondering though if anyone here would remember any of these kind of bikes being made in the 80's or very early 90's? Or where I could start looking. It was a toy but I'm sure someone would know what I'm talking about?
One of the roof struts in my 3m x 3m pop up Gazebo is bent and needs replacing. It's exactly 1055mm long and is oval'ish in shape (20mm x 8mm). I bought it at the bike show in Belfast a few yrs ago but cant remember the seller's name. Anyone able to help in any way? I'm sure a longer strut could be cut and drilled either, if i cant get the exact dimensions.

Hi all, trying to mount a digital speedo on my bike. I'm clueless when it comes to electrics, so I'd rather ask before I splice cables (i'll take it to a mechanic anyways but trying to do as much as possible myself). So, I got a koso gauge, and the power cable has three cords: red - positive pole, to be connected to the battery's 12V, next is brown, the manual says 'Brown "+" wire connect key on DC 12V main power switch' and the last is green, for earth.
Now, what's the difference between the red and brown? I've got two mid way connects for these, so once I cut a cable with them it's done. Below is a pic of the manual and the haynes wiring diagram, that shows 4 cords leading from the ignition switch - red, pink, red/black and blue/orange.
