Do you reckon a Sat Nav would work while at sea? I was thinking that it would know where you are and if you could enter a GPS co-ord it would tell you what direction to go. I appreciate you wouldn't have a map as such but how do guys that are in the Dakar rally find their way? They wouldn't have roads?

Have just heard that Paul passed away recently. Anybody involved in road racing in the 60's will remember Paul - he was one of the south's leading riders competing in national meetings and at least 6 lightweight TT's on Bultacos.
A thoroughly nice chap - he will be missed by all who knew him.

Bit of a long shot but if anyone in Carrick on Suir who owns a Ktm and ordered an oil filter from Germany, I have your parcel. I dont own (and never have) a ktm so have no idea why I got it.
The parcel was addressed to me but the correct recipient is named on the invoice. Funnily enough we share the same surname but have never ordered off this crowd before so no idea where they got my name and address.
Just in case you might be in Dublin or know someone who can collect it give me a shout...

Michelin tyre deal at the moment.
Pair of bike tyres and you get the option of 35e cashback or a tyre pressure monitoring system worth 100e.
Takes the sting out of new tyres a bit.
Got it in cotters the other day.
Review here of the tpms.

Check our the Michelin site for details think it runs to July 30th

Jul 07, 2020 - 11:11 AM - by -alan-

...and the clutch started slipping because it wasn't JASO spec/had the nasty friction modifiers..
Is there anyway to properly clean the plates and get them working properly again short of stripping th clutch and cleaning the plates individually ?
Wondering if you could you flush it with an engine cleaner or similar.
(Dunno if it that was the case btw - just looking for an easier way to test it without having to pull the engine casings and clutch off the bike)

Jul 07, 2020 - 10:46 AM - by Sleazy Rider

I have another post up about a replacement headlight and I am looking at a chineese headlight unit.
It comes with shitty 35w bulbe and I see in the reviews from a guy who replaced these with proper 65w h4 bulbs that the heat dulled the plastic finish of the surround.
Would replacing the bulbs with an led set up avoid this heat problem or do they still run hot?

» Enfield Interceptor 3 year warranty |
|
Jul 07, 2020 - 8:25 AM - by Luki

I’m looking at commuting from Greystones to Town 3 days a week. Would probably take the back road through Bray and Killiney. Would a new Enfield with 3 year warranty be a bad idea?
47bhp which is 7bhp less than a triumph t100, 3 less than a HD sportster or my old w650. It can do 100mph.
Reliable?

After the Dpd lost tyre saga..........
Phoned these guys up and they got a tyre overnight for me.
Seems like a great family run business and they were very careful with my new rim.
Because of their customer focus I spent more money with them and put 4 new tyres on the motor.

Sorry if this question was asked before but...
I want to purchase a Yoshi R-77 full system and found a new one on eBay in the states.
The price is €995 plus €60 for shipping so roughly €1055 all in.
My question is are there any hidden customs or excise duty charges that I will be hit with when the system lands.
Anyone have any experience of buying parts from the states before and able to offer any advice?
Thanks.

» Scorpion Helmets |

Jun 29, 2020 - 2:10 PM - by pedrosixfour

Hi all.
Is there anywhere in Ireland with a good selection of Scorpion helmets?
Been toying with the idea of a modular/flip-up/convertible lid for a while.
I was leaning towards a Bell Broozer or Scorpion Covert X, but I'm not sold on the idea of a helmet with so little face protection, even with the chin guard in place.
Scorpion now have the Exo Tech available which can be used in both the closed & open position, with the chin bar rotating right out of the way.
I wouldn't mind trying/buying one local though, as I had no luck buying a helmet online the... [Read More]

» Baseline service cost |

Jun 25, 2020 - 11:03 AM - by Technician

Folks, just want to get a sense check on current service prices for maxi-scoots.
Dropped mine into a small independent 1-man band for a pair of tyres, oil change, and new plug. Was told in advance tyres were €60 each. All good, I assumed this was a fitted price.
Got the bill this morning:
Tyres €120
Tyre fitting: €60
Service: €100
I just can't see how this adds up. The scooter takes 0.9L of oil and a single spark plug. The labour rates at this shop are €30ph from previous work, of course you never get a break down of bills formally.
What I was anticipating was:
Tyres - 120
Oil - 10
Plug - 10
Labour (2hrs) 60.
So it's basically double what I was... [Read More]

Need some suggestions for a route out of blessington on the west side of the mountains for a nice spin? The gap is a mess and roads are awful. Was thinking of heading towards Baltinglass then south and back around by N11. Starting out of Ardclough/Naas side. Somewhere for a bit of lunch on the route would be a bonus. Any suggestions welcome? On a completely different topic - my pal just bought a beautiful ninja but is sliding all over the place once he hits the power. Any suggestions for a remedy short of velco and sticking him to the seat? Thanks J
