How's it going lads. I'm going to upgrade my boots to a decent pair of Alpinestars and was just wondering if anyone here has a pair and if so what is the fit like? Can I order in my normal size or will I have to go up a size? Thanks

» Irish Superman's third British Supersport Championship title |
|
Oct 17, 2021 - 5:12 PM - by Admin
|
Dubliner Jack Kennedy dominated all Quattro British Supersport races at Brands Hatch this weekend and matches Karl Harris' record to become only the second rider to win three British Supersport Championship titles.
After a red flag crash that almost wiped him out, Kennedy came from LAST PLACE to finish 2nd in a restarted final race 3, to finish just 3/100ths of a second behind serial Moaner Mouth Currie, and make a total kunt of the pack in just 5-laps as he looked to consolidate his race two win earlier that secured the championship and his Bournemouth kawasaki team, running an older spec and under powered 636, the 2021 SuperSport...

» Considering a 16 Multistrada |
|
Oct 06, 2021 - 11:16 AM - by padraic2271
|
I am considering buying a DVT Multistrada 1200. I'm a sportsbike fan but would like to try something a little more comfortable. My main worry is all the electronics, am I asking for trouble reliability wise?
I have had a few Ducati's and know they can be finicky, although these were analogue bikes, without TC, ABS etc.
I'd love to hear from anyone who has owned a Multistrada, were theyr reliable etc.

» Wilson auction/bord na Mona bikes |

Oct 02, 2021 - 11:09 PM - by Brrm!Brrm!

Was at this on Thursday with a mate for a nosey...
A load of bord na Mona XL 250's and two Kawasaki kl something or other (one of them with the head in a plastic bag iirc)
The prices they went for....I can't me head around it.
A few of them were running,(3/4 out of 13) none were in what anyone would call "good" condition but all went for what I'd describe as "fucking stupid" money.
Bear in mind it was +23% vat +10% buyers premium.
Cheapest was €275,no tank,seat, various other pieces missing including bits of engine.
Highest was ( I think ) €2800 with the rest between €800-€1800. Add in the vat etc nearly 4k for a tatty,near 40 year old bike that's spent its life on the bog.

Anyone have a Honda pan european and live in your bog standard semi d.
After doing the nc500 a few weeks back I've convinced myself I need a proper touring bike.
Side entrance of the gaff is 84cm at its narrowest point. Question is, is it a major faff to remove mirrors and panniers to get in and out.
Yes, I have considered the fjr but after having a test ride on the pan I'm smitten.

» Ignition switch issue ST1300 |
|
Sep 29, 2021 - 3:38 PM - by chammer
|
Hi all,
I have a 2004 Pan European. It's the 1300 model, non abs.
There's an issue with the ignition switch. If I wiggle the key the lights go off and speedometer goes blank. The engine stays running and I can still drive but it obviously wouldn't be ideal if I'm driving down a dark back road and the lights go off 😂
Worried it might leave me stranded with no lights so want to get it sorted.
I'm wondering if anybody had a similar problem before.? Is it something that can usually be fixed by stripping and cleaning or am I most likely looking at a new ignition barrel? I'd rather not go down the new barrel route if I can avoid it.
Thanks  ... [Read More]

Having driven over a lot of loose chippings (Wicklow) on Sunday I now have a hole in my radiator and when the bike heats up water is pissing out of it.
Questions are 1. Is it worth repairing, 2. Anyone know best place to do it. Oem part is between 600 - 900 yoyos, and spurious part is about 80.
Also, before I start scouring the Web, anyone know a breakers with a cb 1300?

I have issues 12 to 125 that are becoming endangered in my house due to spring cleaning wife.... I told her it was fucking Autumn but she isn't a good listener. 
Dublin/kildare area looking for 20e for the lot just to get a tank of juice out of them.
There may be some other mags like PB in the pile as a bonus.
I don't have the early money making issues unfortunately i was late to the party.
These will be great for someone in our next lockdown

» Recommissioning a scooter |
|
Sep 11, 2021 - 10:47 AM - by Brrm!Brrm!
|
Howya lads,
I'm recommissioning a 50cc scooter that's been sat for around 14 years😬
(got it started handy enough,cleaned the carb,drained the tanks and filled it with 33/1 premix.carb cleaner direct into the carb and away it went after a couple of boots)
Question is: I'm looking for caliper seals for the front brake,I can buy a repair kit including the pistons but I don't need them,it's only done 3800kms,still meat on the pads so I'm full sure the pistons are fine,just that I wouldn't trust the seals after that long sat.
Any recommendations on where to buy just the seals?have been looking but can't find them without the full repair kit.
Thanks in advance 👍

How is it that every single time you lend something to someone, if it comes back, it comes back broken. The worst is fuckers that give it back broken and say nothin.
Lent out a v*n yesterday and the the fuckin state it came back in and not a drop of diesel in it.
Pulled out a welder I had lent out and the earth clamp was broken off it and left in the box
Previously lent out an obd scanner and it came back in its case with a broken screen and damaged cable.
Lent a bike to a lad to do a road race arrived in the paddock and he had it stripped and the engine out of it as he preferred his frame.. Then when I got it back off the wanker every nut and bolt was hanging off it and the front MC was missing. And this is a very well known... [Read More]

Was out for a blast on Friday evening on a road I know well. In fairness I was pushing on at a fair clip on a N road.
I was on a straight with a minor road junction to the left. I could see a van was sitting there waiting for clear traffic so he could get onto main road.
I said to myself he must see me, but backed off slightly anyway...as you do.
With probably 100mtrs to junction, my fucker pulls out.
How can I explain this, as it doesn't make sense. Everything happened so fast, but also in slow motion.
I remember thinking to myself, pick left position or right. I knew going right would put me into oncoming traffic, so opted left. I grabbed brakes (thank fuck for ABS) aimed left. At the same time the van was coming out... [Read More]

Picked this up on Wednesday, very happy with it so far. No interst in sportsbikes anymore and was looking for something after selling on the trackbike. Good friend of mine had it for sale and couldn't let it pass.
Full set of genuine honda luggage, all keys etc.
Loving the V4 sound too!! It has a Bazzaz system fitted to smooth out the power delivery as well.
Haven't decided whether to sell on the baby Gixxer yet, not riding it much lately.

Sep 01, 2021 - 12:55 PM - by Sleazy Rider

What a bummer. Hope you get well soon Mr. McGee.
One of the leading riders entered for the 2021 KDM Hire Cookstown 100, Derek McGee, the Mullingar Missile has had to withdraw his entry for this year's event, following a training incident last weekend.
McGee, a past winner over the Orittor circuit, and the rider who finished closest to Michael Dunlop at the recent Armoy road races broke his pelvis in seven places when he was high-sided from an off-road machine.
Derek, who missed last year's event, so that he could start the 2021 season, injury-free, was due to ride in five races at this year's Cookstown event.
This no doubt will be a major disappointment for many race fans, but our thoughts are with Derek, as we wish him a... [Read More]
