Left the keys to my bike (right in Dublin city centre) in it when I went to work this morning. Some nice person wrapped them in paper and taped them to the handlebars.
I didn't know if this sort of thing happened anymore and was chuffed. So if the person is on here (and even if hes not), cheers bud, appreciated

Looking for some reviews on the above tires.
Have a shop in UK which can do them delivered for 240 GBP in any size or compound.
I have two sets of race rubber at the moment but will need some in a few weeks so was thinking trying Contis out. I think they are Conti Race Comp as he said he can do Soft front and Medium rear for me.
Any feed back?
read some reviews on the tinternet and seem like a good solid bike with excellent handling for a big bike.. anyone here have one and how do yea find it??

A NEW ferry service from Cork port to northern Spain and France will be formally announced this week and should be operational before the summer holiday season begins.
The rotation of the sailings will involve two trips per week to Spain and once a week to western France.
Hi Guys,
Story is that I got some mirrors for the CBR of ebay and they ended up being really shit. The threads were wrecked after a few days and they basically wont hold in place, dont really want to go back to the ugly stock ones.
So my question is, can the mirrors from a modern CBR fit the old 250? anyone know the measurement between the two bolts that hold the mirrors to the fairing?

Following what is described as ‘speculation and unsubstantiated claims’ regarding the Isle of Man Government’s decision to run its own clean emissions event as part of the 2010 TT races, the Isle of Man’s Department of Tourism and Leisure has issued a statement ‘to put on record the facts regarding their decision’.
The statement reads:
“The Department began formal negotiations with the TTXGP Ltd team in July 2009 with a view to running another clean emissions event on The Isle of Man in 2010. On 2 September 2009, the Department formally agreed in principle to run an event and this was confirmed in writing to TTXGP Ltd. A proposal, including a financial support package, was communicated to the TTXGP team on 7th October,... [Read More]
My engine doesnt want to start. The last time i rode my bike it started to loose on power when i was coming home. Then i left the bike for few hours and when wanted to start it again had to pull up suction to maximum and even though the revs were low. Now it doesnt want to start at all. I checked the spark plugs and battery. They are ok. What could go wrong so?
hey guys,just saw on another post about a shop opening in portlaoise that will be selling helmets and bike gear?anyone know anything about this as i live in the town and havnt seen or heard anything.hopefully there will be something,will be handy to have a shop close by.
Don't know where to post this. Anybody got any ideas on how I could get my old Kawasaki Z650 from Brussels to Ireland? It runs, but would not chance it.
Was in both Heine G and Crossons at the weekend. So thought I'd let you know how we got on. First of all with more sections of the main road being completed we were in Heine G in less than an hour from Balbriggan. There are good deals in both but Heine G are waiting for their new stock of leathers to arrive at the end of the month so they have fu*k all at the moment. However my bro got an Alpinestars Octane 2 piece for £300! He was lucky that the jacket and pants left were his size. Got a nice Arai Chaser for £240 there too.
Crossons have pleanty of lids but their range of leathers isn't great. If you are after textile gear you'll cream yourself with the selection. As usual the lads in both are welcoming and there no pressure to buy. Crossons is tricky to find so watch out... [Read More]
Thought I'd put up a pic of this bike. It's an SHL 125. One of the Polish lads at work has a 1952 model back in Poland. He says riding it is a real adventure. It looks like a bone-shaker. That front suspension is weird. I don't think comfort was a priority when it was designed.
There is a rattle coming from my bike that only occurs at 85-95 kmph. It litterly kicks off once I go above 83ish and settles down again once I'm over 96. It seems to be coming from the rear centre to rear of the bike (I think anyway, hard to tell for sure).
rattles thiny, could be anything to be honest. I cant describe it well
I'v checked the bolts across these areas and I did find one loose bolt. Everything else seems good and tight. I tested her since I tightened the bolt and the rattle is still there but it seems to be less so now or maybe I just think that.
Handling appears to all be the same and performance isnt affected either.
I heard ages ago that there was a Isle of mann TT game comin out on the PS3. Anyone know if its true or if its out to buy yet.
Or can any of you recommend a good mtorbike game for the PS3.

I know it's been said hundereds of times before but big thanks to Chopper - was getting a bit of work done yesterday on the bike, ended up delaying Chopper till 7.30 (On a fugin Saturday evening). Top class work, a bit of craic and a very reasonable price.
So for any noobs on the site that dont know already, if you need work done on your bike, you could do a lot worse than head for Trim
Hello people i recently failed my bike test. The biggest killer for me was observation. On the u-turn i got a red tick because of my poor observation. And also poor observation when taking left hand turns and when taking off in traffic. Can anyone tell me IN STEPS please. What observation i need to do before doin a u-turn, turnin left and when in slow moving traffic. It would be much appreciated as i have another test on the 5/3/10..
Thanx
