» He's at it again....... |

From Boreds.ie......
.
Fairview Wheelie . . . . . . . . . .
This evening in Fairview three bikes coming from Ballybough at Gaffney's pub. One decided to wave his willy at the other two and pulled a wheelie. No spatial awareness or self preservation as he never looked to his right before he released the clutch ended up with the big Garda jeep beside me turn on the light bar and siren after him. He split from his mates and headed towards Artane . His buddies were not overly impressed with him when I spoke to them in Clontarf and agreed his next renewal for insurance would possibly reflect his need for speed.
So "Pat" (I think that's what they called him) did you get a warning or points ?

» Bad tyre |
|
Jun 16, 2021 - 12:01 AM - by joe williams

Lads browsing on adverts , came across this tyre which clearly has cracked side walls , advised the seller so as no one would purchase and maybe get hurt , anyway I was told to mind my own business there was nothing wrong with the tyre and was blocked from further adding comments, this can't be right , now I'm a live and let live type of person but if some young lad who knows no better comes along , we'll we all know the rest . Opinions please.

Hows it going lads? I'm spraying a set of track fairings with rattle cans. It's going on well but when it dries its fading something fierce and looks like a piebald. Anyone know what could be causing this?

» Surprisingly better than the Burgman. |
|
Jun 15, 2021 - 1:02 PM - by The Thread Rapist
|
The Burgman was good,but this Honda Silverwing 600 is far better.
Tons more underseat storage space,2 bigger front gloveboxes,12v power lead,50 litre top box,and a nice punchy motor too.
Better brakes,better screen,better riding position,and more wind protection. Build quality feels better too.
Might be time to sell the Burgman 400 on so.😉
Oh and the 99 wasnt too bad either....🤔☀️🤣

Went for a wee spin west last weekend. Took the old road down to Galway and did a good bit of the Wild Atlantic way between Spiddal and Leenaune. Some interesting pig smuggling tracks encountered. Did a bit inland too. A few pics in no particular order.

» Spin at the weekend |

Jun 09, 2021 - 10:45 PM - by Alabama Whitman

First big spin on Saturday on the new bike up to the Vee and Lismore through NCW, Kilmallock, Mitchelstown, Ballyporeen and back to Kerry via Fermoy, Mallow, Buttevent, Liscarroll, Dromcollogher and Abbeyfeale to Listowel. Disgraceful amount of loose chips on the road up to the Vee, whoever signed that job off as acceptable should be ashamed of themselves.
This was my first time out on the bike with my son and his SV650.

I'd like to put longer brake and clutch lines on my blackbird, any good sourced of custom lines?
I've been looking at Jaws, Goodridge, Hel, Venhill https://www.venhill.co.uk/; fuck Brexit.
Any good Irish or European suppliers of hydraulic kit?
I wouldn't mind making the lines myself. The Hel & Venhill line builder tools on their websites are handy though.
