» Kids taking interest |
|
Sep 21, 2020 - 6:54 PM - by Beard-Face
|
My eldest is six and is glued to my heels in the garage. Asking lots of questions about my bike, taking an interest in working on it with me and likes to sit on it and give it a bit of a rev.
I'm sure theres plenty of members on here whose kids have taken on their mammy amd daddys biking habits so I'm wondering what they may have started out on, what machines are good. Naturally I'd like to start her on two wheels even if she needed stabilisers for a bit. I think a quad might be the better route to go with her for now as she is a bit of a gentle soul and with most new things she takes on, baby steps are the way to go.
Looking for whatever stories or advice you might like to impart on how you got yours started.
Thanks in advance

» Looking for a sport bike |
|
Sep 16, 2020 - 6:19 PM - by dukeboy2
|
I'm in the market for a sport bike. I'll mostly use it for track days but I'd like to keep it road legal so I can drive it to/from Mondello and take it for the occasional weekend spin.
Budget is around 10k
Ideally, I'd like something that has ABS + traction control. Currently I'm considering the likes of
2015ish BMW S1000RR
2013ish Big Bang R1 (I prefer the 2016 model, but a little too pricy). I have a 2007 R1 now.
I've seen a couple of CBR1000rr in the 2014/2015 for good money but I don't think they have TC (it's not a deal breaker, but I'd prefer a bike with TC)
What else should I be looking at?

» Order Custom Tailored Leathers in Ireland |
|
Sep 14, 2020 - 8:25 PM - by The Road Runner
|
I put up a post about Dublin Leather.Com a few weeks back to see if anyone had dealt with them.
I phoned them about a week later and spoke to a nice lad in Drogheda .....and he was so helpful i decided to place an order with them, I got the measurement charts sent shortly after............so i returned my measurements and the order was put into action.
I received my leathers about three weeks later, and im delighted with the finished product , a very high standard of fit, finish and design ......way better fit and finish than i received from SCOTT LEATHERS UK.....
I would highly recommend to biker.ie members ... [Read More]

Hi All, just got a Yamaha DT175 from 1978, The Clutch is slipping, moreso in higher gears I think. What should I check?
Also the kick start is not gripping on the spindle?, so it it keeps slipping around despite tightening. Any tips on how to prevent this?
Thanks

» CBF125 "Kangarooing" issue |
|
Sep 11, 2020 - 2:00 AM - by Ianik
|
Alright lads, I had recently bought a used CBF 125 2009 with a bit of miles on it. The bike was running fine when I was inspecting it but when I rode the bike home it was cutting off then turning back on, I found that a bit weird, I searched it up online and it seems like a very common issue with the CBF's. Some people say to replace the fuel pump, while others suggest putting a heat shield between the tank and the engine. Did anyone around here faced this issue and how did you resolve it? And if you have any idea on how to check for a faulty fuel pump or another possible reason that would cause the issue please let me know! Thank you for looking

|

Lads, I want to buy an Inverter Arc Welder for home use. I will be using a standard domestic 13A supply socket. What Amps could I expect to be able to weld at without blowing the fuse? Should I be able to weld say 5mm thick plate and use 3.2mm rods without blowing fuses all the time? Also any suggestions of good Inverter Arc Welders, make/models?

Forces TV on sky have started showing that motorcycling gem from the 70s that got some of us interested in motorcycles.
KZ1000s with no fairing just a plexiglass screen, single pot disk brakes, no protective clothing whatsoever (one guy definitely wearing gardening gloves),
Maximum lean onto the highways of sunny california, back before cops in LA were the baddies.

... Bike riders used to be able to service their own bikes?
When bike riders didn't have to rely on someone else to change their oil?
It's mad how the world has changed, isn't it. A lot of people these days have to take their bike to a 'specialist' to change the oil 
It's almost as if we're living in a world of complete fuckwits, who couldn't wipe their own arse without mammy to help them
Fuck me, it's hard to comprehend...

Does anyone know of a breakfast specialist who specialises in toast?
I don't want just any old toast. It has to be someone who specialises in browning pat the baker bread.

» Silverstone BSB: Stand-in rider Rea sets the Friday pace |
|
Sep 04, 2020 - 3:30 PM - by Admin
|
Buildbase Suzuki stand-in rider Gino Rea set the Bennetts British Superbike pace this afternoon at Silverstone, going seven-tenths under the lap record to beat points leader Glenn Irwin.
Rea, who moved from the Bike Devil Kawasaki team to sub for the injured Keith Farmer, set a 53.434 to push Honda’s Irwin into second place.
The Irishman had been sitting pretty at the top of the sheets with a 53.607 with Jason ‘O’Halloran putting a late charge for third on the McAMS Yamaha.
Josh Brookes ended the day in fourth place on the VisionTrack Ducati Panigale with a 53.676. The Australian topped first practice this time last year but with a 54.196 which shows how much the pace has dropped in 16 months.
