[quote=Fledermaus;2626051]Buy A CG125 or the like while they're still cheap,probably your only option to keep on biking down the line.Country's had it.Lived abroad for a while,and i regret ever coming back to this shithole. And it was always fucked,this is nothing new.90% of people ever born here had to struggle to survive,and we've always licked the arses of the other 10%.

Speaking about Taxis heading from inchicore to town yesterday ,slow moving traffic I was using the bus lane when a prick of a taxi decided with no warning to pull into the buslane he never looked or saw me and only I jammed on would of hit me , now by bike is white fulllights on and wearing a high vis,anyway he get out and starts to give me a mouthfull about being in the bus lane. the thing was he was about six foot five the bigest cunt I ever saw full of tattos, with a face that must of being battered since he was a kid so decided not to argue and rode on. could of have been nasty. thinking that he might have saw me in the bus lane and pulled out on purpose just to prove a point and have a go at me.

Re: €1.70 a litre
 

ITs even getting expensive here , their talkling $5/Gal here by summer. Absolutely nothing to do with supply and demand its the fucking speculators who drive the price:rolleyes2:. THe US is now a net exporter of fuel for the first time in 40 years cause they can get more shipping it overseas then selling it here. Now before you say you lucky bastards only $5/Gal shits more spread out here, plus the gov's take is about 20c/litre and there is no public transport to speak off. Ah fuck it the ZRX or the SD or the soon to be RZ are a lot cheaper then the psycho analysis I'd need if I didn't ride:lbhbh: Ride on a fuck em all :thumbsup2:

Ill just work from home more ( I have a 15 mile commute) when its pissing rain to avoid the tr*ck driving

Like I said earlier,profiteering.
Also,at the start of the winter poeple were expecting more bad weather so stocked up on heating oil.
The oil companies siezed the opportunity to rape people some more,which also pushed up the price of Dasel.Remember a few weeks ago dasel cost more than petrol,now ya know why:thumbsup2:

Re: €1.70 a litre
 

We need French style protests if people in Ireland are going to bother at all. We would need a country wide protest with people from all walks of life. Taxi drivers sitting outside the dail for 2 hours one week and bikers the next is going to do fuck all.

At the moment the country isnt even strong enough for a massive public protest. Place would fall apart even more if people took holidays or didnt turn up to work for 2 weeks to protest.

Irish people are too laid back for a massive protest and the fuckers in power no that full well.

Thers a lot more to it than that.
People say the Irish are too lazy to protest.Not really true IMO.
The real problem is theres no leadership in opposition.
You have lots of groups whineing about this and that and when they get what they want they fade away.
What we need is someone who will stand up to the cnuts and bring everyone along with him.
Until then we're at nothing.

Lucky bastards! No kidding.

It's $8.25 per gallon over here and of that the irish state takes about $5.96 in whatever bogus taxes.

Dublin Bus is the most unreliable and one of the most expensive public transport systems in Europe.
And all we get from our road taxes are patch worked roads that could only be ridden safely with a GS and make roads in inner Mongolia look desirable. Plus they are littered with privatised speed vans that serve no other purpose but to ripoff the irish motorist on that little part of road that is not yet fallen into complete disrepair. :mad1:
