» Bt get moto gp deal
May 09, 2013 - 5:37 PM - by dar81
New channel BT Sport have this morning announced they have secured a five-year deal for the rights to show MotoGP in Britain and it will be free to existing BT Broadand customers.

In a presentation at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, Chief Executive Gavin Patteron gave a brief outline of the deal which will see BT Sport air every round of the series from the start of next season. It will include all free practice sessions for the premier class, plus Moto2 and Moto3.

It will be free to existing BT Broadband customers and £15 a month via either the BT Youview box or Sky Digibox to those who aren't customers.

There hasn't as, yet, been any announcements about the commentary team but rumours put Keith Huewen and Julian Ryder in the... [Read More]

» Road trip around Ireland.
May 09, 2013 - 4:44 PM - by FireBladeRR
As a road trip on the bike is something I have wanted to do for a long time I figured I'm gonna take the plunge this year and just do it. Ideally I wanted to do one around Europe but thought I would do one around Ireland first so I can make all the mistakes and what not whilst I'm still local. I know they are very different from each other but at least it would give me a feel for it. Hoping people can throw some pointers my way, do's and dont's, wat to pack, WHERE TO GO, and jus general info about hitting the road with just you and your pride and joy. I am gonna be doing the trip on a fireblade I would imagine (back is still strong) and somewhere around July or august

» Crash protectors
May 09, 2013 - 11:03 AM - by spiritthief
Hello there,

I have purchased online an R&G Crash protector set for my Honda CBF500. The fitting manual says:

Due to the risk of cross-threading of bolts etc; we recommend fitting by an R&G dealer or at least a qualified
motorcycle mechanic


Is it something what is only to protect themselves or can I really screw up something if I try to fit this? (Does not look like rocket science... )

Ingerlish;


I know it's been asked before but I can't find it, so here goes again; buying metzler tourances online for the vara for an upcoming spin (€195 crossans), so where is the cheapest place to get em fitted? Does the place on the walkinstown roundabout still do it for a tenner a wheel? Do they balance them? Anywhere else recommended?

Lads, a young fella I know is looking to get his first bike. Anyone near or passing Blarney in Cork to take a gander at an NSR 80 for him.

Obviously he on a tight budget at 16 and after paying out for training/IBT so trying to cut costs for him a bit.

Well lads,

Noticed gasket sealant around the header pipes on the gsx so decided to take them off , yup previous owner didnt use any gaskets. Got some today, but im not 100% sure if this is the way they are meant to go between the pipes and the head , as in if they are too small. They are aftermarket pipes



Fits in grand here but just because they are aftermarket I want to be 100% before I go boltin shite back on

Anybody here ever convert the GT550 from the factory setup to standard 22mm bars.

Well first off anyone familiar with that bike. Seems to be a possibility that it is a road legal model.

Any good overall more off road than on is intended but would like to be able to cover roads in-between. Anything major to look at on them?

Not much interest in the super moto side just considering as a more gravel track/quarry style riding.

» Sell My 1098 I Said...Buy an 1198 I Said....Perhaps not !!!
May 08, 2013 - 3:38 PM - by Dawn Keeballs
So as a few on here will know i have had a 1098 for the past year and half and she served me very well indeed...

recently tho i had taught about selling it and my mind had straight away turned to a Pearl white 1199 which i had mentioned on my for sale thread a while back...

so i got some pics taken of the 1098...put it up here and on done deal...got a load of interest in the end...lots of swaps and a couple of genuine heads....

BUT.............Long story short i got a little ahead of myself....and in the end caved in and traded the 1098 on a.........................

» New tyre flat. Question
May 08, 2013 - 10:13 AM - by Mr.Crash
Got a new Pilot power 3 fitted yesterday, was a wet day so didn't want to break her in so brought her home, about a 5 Km journey. Wake up this morning tyre is fully flat... Ring the guys who fitted it, Straight away told it "Must be a puncture".
Riding 5 years never got a puncture but Ok maybe it is. My question is, is it possible that there is some other reason that the tyre could be flat other than a puncture in relation to the fitting job? I checked the tyre and cannot find and foreign objects in it to cause it to go flat. Just feel like I may be getting fobbed off as it seems like such a big coincidence that I just got a new one fitted... Also nowhere near a petrol station with air ... [Read More]
