Hi All,

Took this bike as a part exchange against my own bike. Lovely machine- I was very surprised by the handling and comfort - brakes need a service and the usual oil and filter etc.

I was going to shift but such a fun bike to ride I'm going to keep it. As such she needs a few bits and bobs- anyone have parts in a box for this beauty? In particular looking for indicators and end can? Last owner had put in flush indicators that are impossible to see.

Its fuckin hopping here at the mo . Weather allowing it should be good racing in the mornin. Looking forward to it even with a hangover. I'm delighted to see kells races back . Anybody not busy tomorrow get to here and support it .

Lads. Bit of advise on the legallity and morals of taking my 4 1/2 year old on a daily 5 min ride as part of my commute. Dropping him to a child minder. All 50kph zone. My only other option is to buy a car. Which would actually make me sick. He loves riding with me as it is. But it's only been around the estate.


I'm I mad for even considering this.

Is there anyone in the Dublin or surrounding areas that is good at bazzaz tuning ?

Looking to get an old style black reg plate made up.( not pressed steel)..anywhere in Dublin doing these..The company beside Cotters are not in a position to do regs at the moment..
Tks.

I've had a commuter bike pretty much since 2008. I have been living in Canada the last while. I didn't lock my bike anywhere in Vancouver. Bike crime doesn't really exist.

Just back in Dublin, 2 weeks and have been looking for a cheap 600cc plus bike between flat hunting.

There is nothing under €2k and less than 10 years old on donedeal. Where are all the guys who used to import bikes from USA/Japan/UK for resale gone, that the used prices are so high?

Add to this the hastle of not being able to own anything here without:
1 Some arseling sitting on it for a picture and knocking it over
2 Vandalising/robbing a part
3 Outright stealing the bike
Why are Dublin Garda fucking useless at tackling petty criminality? I'd... [Read More]

Great for the winter.

Where in Ireland (Dublin) would I go to get a new Aprilia?

http://www.classicbikefestireland.com/ FYI but most people possibly know about it anyway, if interested in displaying a bike please contact the VJMC

I have a couple of general admission weekend tickets for brands bsb this week and. If interested contact me at 07771323636. Ballymena area.

Have to ask this,
What advantage is there in having a quick shifter on a road bike?

Hi anybody on here heading to the bikers classic in spa first weekend in july might be able to help with passes let me know
Cheers
Gerry

Talk about some shitty luck

I know its against policy to post about riders down, no info on the rider in question. But... if there is lightning about, be careful you might be the tallest thing in the landscape !

Just rang Carole Nash for a quote on a kawasaki Z1000sx which I am already insured on with some one else and was told we don't have that bike on our system sorry bye. That is really crappy service. Any one else ever get that.

Diesel, oil or something like it om m6 eastbound about 2k before jct 5 kilbeggan left lane

Hi lads recently sold my bike and am looking to get a suzuki 600 bandit have seen afew on done deal and that but most seem to be gone already. Was just wondering if anyone has one hear for sale looking at about the 1500 mark. I can't seem to post on the buy n sell part on the forum so said I would post hear. Cheers lads. Davey

Howdy. Long story short ive been offered a bagster tank cover for my bike for a reasonable price .
I've not used them before and am wondering is there any drawbacks from using one .e.g. do they damage /scrape the paint underneath or cause rust ect? The paint on the tank is very good so I don't want to risk damaging it

Where's their rainbow Varadkar ?

I'm looking at a bike with an exhaust and power commander tune, anyone got any experience with the impact on the insurance?

Mortgage sorted, have the green light to get a bike again. The commute to work is about a 70 mile round trip and the hips arent what they used to be. Im thinking about something upright for the commute to work like a tracer or a versys any other options I should consider? Budget is 7-8k

Hey all. Got a zx6r couple weeks ago and everything going well until this evening.
Coming home and suddenly heard a noise like say bellypan came loose and was scratching along ground...pulled over checked all plastics and all ok. Started off again and same noise,was just around from house so got home and gave all a good look over,no plastics loose so went to wheel bike backwards and heard a noise from around back brake caliber area like a clicking noise every couple of seconds. Checked all there but cant see anything loose,need ideas of what to look at. Chain is fine. Cant afford to bring bike shop at moment and dont want it to be something simple only to have them spoof me and say its something big. Any help be appreciated thanks.

Howdy All,

Long time since I've been rolling but I have this week bought a few bikes in a lot. The main bike was the one I was after but in the stuff is a XLH Harley 1200. I have papers for everything except the Harley and wanted to start a build with what I have of her, maybe bobber hardtail or similar.

I wanted to ask everyone if they had any experience in retrieving a Log Book for a bike when the book has been lost. I did it years and years ago but it was in my name and was very straight forward.

In this case I do not have any of the details of the previous owner. All I have is the engine/frame numbers. The number plate and thats it ... [Read More]

Fucker should have got a ban....absolutely gutted for Alex....

I wonder what's next for the UK in terms of big brother technology. Maybe it will soon be illegal to fart in case the toxic gases destroy the environment and render us all obsolete. Invariably eventually we will follow suit here and soon everything will sound like a standard Honda Deauville

Michael Dunlop took his 19th Isle of Man TT win by repeating last year's victory in the Lightweight race for Supertwins.

In a race reduced to two laps from four, the Ballymoney rider pipped Jamie Coward by 1.3 seconds after a race-long battle, with Lee Johnston third.

Dunlop's final lap of 122.46mph was marginally outside his own lap record.

The 30-year-old had endured a disappointing TT, having failed to finish on the podium in four races.

Peter Hickman made it a hat-trick of Isle of Man TT victories with a dominant win in the RL360 Superstock race on Thursday.

The Smiths Racing BMW rider was celebrating his second win in a day after he won the earlier Monster Energy Supersport race. It was the 32-year-old’s fifth career TT triumph.



Hickman, who won the corresponding race last year, led from the off and was never headed throughout the three-lap race, which was held over a... [Read More]

Anyone aware of a replacement part for these,Suzuki only sell it as part of a service kit for the pump and it’s extortionate. I know I can dick about with it to raise the pressure but I would rather swap it it out with a new part while I’m doing the pump, it’s falling slightly short only holding 2.7 bar as opposed to 3 bar spec’d,pump flow rate is also down so between the pair it’s causing hesitations,any info much appreciated

Long shot, ive never seen one here.



looking at cbf 1000 in uk , anyone in Dublin got one i can have a gawk at for a few mins any evening ?


( its a bike to stop gap me for a few months til i decide what i want to get long term in this category )

they werent really too popular due to price and a measily 100 bhp, but it will do me for the moment.
