Well I went to my usual station for juice this morning
Apple green on the Kimmage road, on the way into town before
Redzone motorcycles. Filled up & went to pay, bollix no
cashcard. The missus had taken it to put juice in her cage
last night & neverr put it back.
So I told the lad the story I asked him could I drop
it to him later. He said we don't usually do that but he agreed.
He asked me to write down my name, address & phone numbers.
I thanked him very much & was on my way.
I rang the wife when I got to work & she's gonna go down & pay it.
With all the bad garages around, thumbs up for this. ... [Read More]
PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR SENIOR CLASSIC COMPETITORS AT THE MANX GRAND PRIX AS ROY RICHARDSON TAKES HIS SECOND TITLE OF THE WEEK IN DRAMATIC LAST LAP
- Chris McGahan secures inaugural Formula Classic title for 750cc machines
Race fans were again treated to perfect conditions on the Isle of Man for the 2010 Manx Grand Prix, sponsored by visitisleofman.com, for the rescheduled Senior Classic Race, which was postponed from yesterday following the red flag incident during the Junior MGP.
This year’s Senior Classic featured the introduction of 750cc machines for the first time and a total of 46 riders lined up on the Grid, including 6 in the Formula (750cc) Class.
The field was led away by Alan Oversby, riding the ’72 MV with Mark... [Read More]
Team Colin Appleyard / Macadam Racing returned to Cadwell Park at the weekend, the scene of impressive performances from both Jack Kennedy and Deane Brown back in May.
The team’s Supersport 600 Championship rider Jack Kennedy had to contend with a wet first qualifying session , but showing his usual form in these conditions he provisionally put it on the front row with a very impressive 3rd place. The following day in a very windy but dry 2nd qualifying he still managed a very creditable 9th position, and 3rd row on the grid. A big improvement on the last two rounds.
In Sunday’s race he did not have the best of first laps and... [Read More]

Hi.. Am moving to Oz soon and selling my current bike to fund the trip and hopefully also buy a bike out there..
Has anybody any experience with the ozzie system? Cos i have done the test but am restricted till dec 2011. Will i be able to get a full licence out there or would i be restricted???
Just wondering if the CB400 has lights on the clocks or not. if so where does the bulbs go? No lights on mine so don't know what speed I'm doing at night.
does anyone know of a good lawyer in cork that would have some experience with the laws regarding motorcycles? not gonna go into detail but would be handy to know
Was looking at the Rsa website regarding these new law's for learner drivers and it got me thinking. Will we have to display one of these new r plates after passing the test during the 2 year restriction. I only saw reference to cages but I hope it wont apply to bikes as well
Thought I'd share my experiences here. Apparently, the problem is a known issue with Deauvilles.
Problem:
Severe clutch slippage on Honda Deauville NT650V2 at all but the most modest of acceleration.
On Inspection:
Friction Plates checked with Vernier Caliper. All within Service Limits. Clutch cable at max length.
Remedy:
Add 1 plain plate against first plain plate (thus giving a double-thickness plain plate) to clutch. Clutch cable needs to be adjusted to take account of clutch depth change.
Result:
No slippage at any acceleration in any gear.
Well Folks,
Story is, planning to head to Triumph LIVE 2010 this month and we'll obvioulsy enough be taking the bikes over
My predicament is, given my choice of bike leaves me with a rather limited luggage capacity!
Having not done any 'tours' as such yet i've never had the need for any Extra luggage carriers till now. I love to go off and buy one for myself but i just couldn't justify it right now financially
Is there anyone out there (preferably Cork) that would have a decent size one i could borrow for that weekend? (17th to 19th) ... [Read More]
Well! Moving to London soon and the apartment hasn't got any proper secure parking... So just reading around, have come across a few on-the-road solutions, i.e ALMAX, pager Alarm + CCTV.
Any of the tech heads able to correct me in saying:
Plug it in, access the IP camera through my browser via ethernet cable. OR Plug in wireless router and set up the cam to broadcast on the net so that I don't have to tether myself? OR plug in the router to just set up the cam, unplug the router and then I can view the camera... [Read More]
A question for techs on here, when decating an r1 and fitting a full exhaust system, does the bike need a remap? ( powercommander) to adjust the mixture or will it be fine on standard ecu?
The reason i ask i know some bikes require a fuel retune after fittng aftermarket exhausts, but unsure about r1`s.
I changed the clutch on the cbr 400 Nc29 2day and i put every thing back together, filled it up with with oil went to start it and it would not start.Battery is fine but when i press the start button nothing happens it does'nt even turn over any info
Any one in the Clare/Limerick area with a foxeye 600 fazer that has a standard screen? I've a double bubble on mine but it directs the wind right into the bottom of my helmet making for increasingly annoying wind noise..
Just wondering if I could borrow someones for 10 minutes to see if it makes any difference instead of handing over some hard earned yo yo's to find its not worth it...
Just made an appointment to pay the VRT on my bike, was given a list of whats needed.

hi biker's got few offer's from marine engineer's to buy the bike of me. somebody here state that its not payment going throe to the pay pal. any recommendation..?? thx
Was looking at the carbs on one of these last weekend. not sure of the exact bike model ('95 reg).
Do you have to remove the carbs to get at the vac gauge connectors and should there be 'adapters' in place or are they a separate part that needs to be bought and fitted. There seems to be a 'vacuum plug' type of bolt fitted on one of the carbs and it appears that whoever did the job last time left a couple of hoses in place on carbs 2 and 3.
Hi all, have my first bike 6 weeks now 04 Deauville not a scratch on it it was like new. Last night a woman decided to back out of a parking spot and keep backing back (30-40m) knocked the bike off the stand and maid sh1t of the left hand side. Not only that but she continued going back and drove up onto the front wheel. what I am trying to find if any of ye can help is a left pannier lid (wide version) in that metallic blue Deauville colour. Also where can I find the paint code ?
Also I would like to add this particular woman could have said sorry instead of laughing and saying " Ohh I never saw it"
I know its technically illegal to wear a visor with more than 50% tint in france and other European countries. In ye re experience is this actually enforced??
Off tomo and only have full tint visor and clear visor for Shark RSI. Tried a few spots Cotters etc but cant get lesser tint at such short notice. Thanks for the replies.
hows it going lads , im trying to rent a space for myself where i can work on my bike but rent is quite a bit and i dont need all the space so im thinking of using some of the space for others to work on and store their bikes, so for 35 quid a month you can have your own space to store and work on yout bike , the 35 euro is mainly for storage but on saturday and sundays ill open it up so ye can work on yer bikes ,
The dream is over! Have a few quid saved and would need to save for a few more months to get my bike, gear, tax & insurance...but after hearing about the 16 hours cbt on the news today which is to become effective in December I'm facing the harsh reality that i simply cant fucking afford it anymore! Gona stick with the cage for a few more years - Still hope to stay on this site anyway coz its mad craic!

I've been away from biking for some time , shame on me. Managed to get back seriously this year and passed the test a few days ago and here's why.
Get professional training.
I done a few hours with Chris O' Brien in Wexford a few weeks ago and I can say that the man is an expert on the subject and knows how to teach it well. Lots of top advice on the bike but also geve me brill advice on what to expect both before and after the practical starts.
Here's my test format
Arrived at the test centre about 10min early, parked the bike so I could easly exit. Wore full gear, Hi-Viz L, and Learner permit in... [Read More]
Me and a few mates are thinking of getting road legal yamaha raptor 700's.Any of you fellas on here ever had a road legal quad or even a raptor for the fields?I'm getting a ktm 690smc soon so the quad will have to wait til next year.I'd like one thats already been modded and preferably with supermoto wheels,this one would be ideal....
Put a new engine in the fazer and now I have a problem around 7k to 9k in the higher gears.
First: No Problem
Second: 2 to 3 second delay and slow progression from 7k to 9k and then massive power
Third: 4 to 5 secs from 7k to 9k
Forth: 5 to 8 secs from 7k to 9k
Fifth: 5 to 10 secs from 7k to 9k
Sixth: 10 to 15 secs from 7k to 9k (with full throttle won't get over 8k)
The engine seems to "garrgle" if I throttle hard into the 7k mark in a high gear, only way I can describe it.
Some have suggested this is a flat spot in fazers, but the power comes on very strong once it gets past 9k, so I don't think thats it.
Michael Sweeney has been declared the winner of todays abandonded Manx Junior race after Simon Fulton who initially won the race incurred a time penelty for speeding through yellow flags. This penelty placed Fulton third with Michael Sweeney moving up to the top step of the podium.
Also moving up along with the Skerries man is Wayne Kirwan who is officially placed 2nd. I know they events of the day cast a big shadow over the race but I think that big congratulations should go the our own two lads who have put in a huge effort over the last week. Well done also to Hammer who was moving up fast just before the race was stopped. Well done all.
