» Your thoughts on an SV1000? |
|
May 17, 2013 - 6:38 PM - by serberusno1
|
Says it all really. Hopefully moving from a 600 Fazer to the SV. I meant to buy one last year but quickly ran out of money  But new job so hopefully I'll have the cash over the coming months.
Anyway, I was looking at bikes for ages last year and nothing really took my fancy until I came across the SV. I want to go up in size but I don't want an all out sportsbike or a tourer either. The Sv seemed to be along the lines of a Fazer. Cannot fault the Fazer in any way but I just want something newer and bigger and the newer Fazers don't really appeal to me.
So if anybody wants to weigh in then please let me know your opinion, any experience you've had with them, any... [Read More]

» Anyone heading to Mondello on Sunday? |
|
May 17, 2013 - 2:10 PM - by R1_Pete

Just jammed myself into the Mondello track day for Sunday using some points on the old (outgoing apparently!) loyalty card.
Going to do a half day to give the bike and myself a shake down before the trip to Anglesey next week.
Who’s heading out on Sunday?
I haven’t done a track day in nearly a year! Looking forward to trying out the new pilot 3s

» Attention of riders who entered March 24th |
|
May 17, 2013 - 11:09 AM - by EMedlar
|
As you are aware we had to cancel most of the second races on March 24.
Riders have asked was there anything we could do, ie discount from next entry.
We think with the assistance of ISAM and Leinster we have gone 1 better.
Time permitting we will run the Pre Inj, LWS and Twins races on Sat May 25. Supersport and B race will be on Aug 3.
These races are for the original entrylist only and you must have a valid entry for the ISAM or Leinster event. The grid will be the original one from March 24th. You don't have to do anything else just enjoy the extra race.

» Kawasaki ZXR250 tacho |
|
May 17, 2013 - 10:22 AM - by tankas
|
Hi,
i'm helping my friend to wire a ZXR400 clocks to his ZXR250. We checked the manuals electrical diagram, but wiring color codes don't match. (Manual is for year 1997, and the bike itself is 1989, maybe thats why. Can't find older manual.)
Could you put us on the right way to finding at least the signal for the tacho?
Thanks

» A worthy mention for Cotters |
|
May 17, 2013 - 12:30 AM - by custom900
|
Ingerlish:
Dont normally like threads praising bike shops for doing what they're paid to, but when they go beyond the call of duty I think it needs mentioning. I was in Cotters a few days ago getting a set of Annakee 3s fitted to loose wheels. While I was waiting and browsing round the shop a lad came in and was chatting to Simon at the counter. I couldn't help overhearing the lad telling Simon that his bike was stolen the previous week, and that he was going to replace it with a beemer of some sort. Straight away, Simon told him that if he needed the use of a bike there was a vstrom 650 outside he could have til the new yoke arrived. That's way beyond service lads, that's decency.
(prices are decent too, btw. €240 for the tyres fitted, with €30 fuel... [Read More]

Fair play to the rider of a blue hornet who first of all managed to avoid some metal rails that were scattered around the leopardstown roundabout, and secondly for pulling in , stopping traffic, and clearing them off the road. Dangerous spot, putting his own life before others

After last year's trip to the Pyrenees (video here), this year I'm off to Germany. This time it's not just for pleasure, but have to visit for family occassion. On the upside, there's no accommodation costs involved
So going up to Belfast tomorrow and spend the night there. Then ferry from Belfast to Cairnryan on Saturday morning, drive across to Newcastle and get overnight ferry to Amsterdam Saturday evening (booked these ferries few months ago for 430 yoyos for bike + 2 people return).

» Rain hits North West 200 practice |
|
May 16, 2013 - 2:20 PM - by Admin
|
Thursday's practice session at the North West 200 was disrupted by wet conditions on the Triangle circuit.
Rain and hail showers resulted in slow times and there was little change in the qualifying standings from Tuesday's drier session.
Michael Dunlop will start from pole for the two Superbikes races on Saturday.
John McGuinness (Supersports), Alastair Seeley (Superstocks) and Jeremy McWilliams (Supertwins) topped the times in the other classes.
Michael Dunlop easily topped the times in Tuesday's Superbikes practice with the Ballymoney man followed by Bruce Anstey and Guy Martin.
Anstey and Martin also complete the top three in the Supersports while Seeley is on pole in the Superstocks, ahead of Michael Dunlop and... [Read More]

Padgett's Honda's John McGuinness remained top of the Supersport standings with his time from Tuesday after the middleweight riders got the worst of today's weather conditions at the Vauxhall North West 200 with heavy rain bringing the second qualifying session to a premature end.
The rain that had been falling all morning increased in intensity from the moment the riders left the line and the majority of the field completed a couple of laps before deciding themselves it wasn't worthwhile carrying on.
Although the lap speeds were largely immaterial, Michael Dunlop topped the... [Read More]

Hi, a big thank you to Ducati Rosso Dublin. I came off the boat from uk into dublin and parked the bike up for the weekend. On return the bike would not start, just came up with a CAN-LINE error (panigale S model)
Anyway, bike was lifted by AA and taken to Ducati Rosso, these guys know what they are doing and were able to trace some mosture in a connector under the seat. They fixed the problem and also checked all other connections,putting electrical sealeat around all of them.
The mechnic was a german guy called Kenny, really knew his stuff.. Great job and a thank you to these guys ( i was very impressed). Got me back on the road and up to the NW200. It hasn’t stop raining since I left london and so far bike and I are splashing around North west,... [Read More]

Ive being riding for 10/12 years now and the only professional training I got bar
the time I got my first bike except (driving scooter in Holland) was when I bought a yammi viarg-o 125 in Lees when Matty pointed out the clutch, brakes and ignition  and off I went into Cork Saturday boom time traffic and figured it out as I went,
has a pre test with some lad but failed my first test but done a test again somewhere else and passed.
So basically no training so I saved up a few bob and decided to do a few days with a proper RSA instructor near home .
Well worth it , last day now and my mom (ahh) can sleep better at night and my old doll can get off my back.
