Hey lads, what's your excuse of being on the road after today's announcement?
Been locked in the house for last 3 weeks... if they take away my Sunday spin I'll go crazy.

» Upgrading to TFT dash? |
|
Mar 27, 2020 - 8:57 PM - by Meepmeep
|
Is it possible to upgrade from an old school dash to a TFT for older bikes?
Specifically I'm wondering if it can be done for a K6 GSXR1000.
Not for track use. Road use.
Cheers.

» Feed the front line - Go fund me? |

Mar 23, 2020 - 11:15 PM - by R.M

What's this all about? Why are people donating to this?
I am a front line healthcare worker. I don't need feeding. I have a job/wage....salary isn't massive for my role, but it;s in line with the average industrial wage.
Why are all these do gooders/celebs getting behind a cause that's not needed.
I can feed myself & my family. Why not throw your support behind some other cause that's more needy at this time of crisis?
I have a weekly wage coming in....many thousands will not.
I will probably earn it like I never did before, but that;s life.
Earlier today, €300k was raised...how the hell is this going to be distributed to the 000's of healthcare staff?
If you want to help the front line staff, then... [Read More]

Next month's Cookstown 100 has been postponed because of an outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in the village.
The event had previously been scheduled for 24 and 25 April but new provisional dates of September 11 and 12 have been tentatively penciled in, following the taking ill of up to 4,200 residents in what authorities are describing as the 'inadvertent spreading of a deadly virus' by the towns infamous dancing priest who had just returned from Italy.

» VRT refund? |
|
Mar 13, 2020 - 12:28 PM - by WhyTea
|
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone here has any experience of or knows if there might be a refund of VRT paid on an imported bike if that bike was to be exported back to the UK. Looking at a bike in Scotland and thinking of driving my current machine over as a trade in. It's an excuse for a little road trip and might save me the hassle and delay of selling here. Last time I was shopping, the bike I was after sold before I managed to sell mine here.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dubliner Jack Kennedy made a successful return to the Bennetts British Superbike crowd over five days of testing in Spain and is already pleased with his pace on the 2020 Yamaha R1.
Kennedy defended his Supersport crown last season, before coming back to the blue riband grid for with the Santander Salt TAG Yamaha team alongside Dan Linfoot.
The team completed two tests at Monteblanco and Jerez before heading home in preparation for the next official test at Silverstone, with less than a month to wait until the opening round of the season at Easter.

» Buying a bike in France / germany |
|
Mar 10, 2020 - 9:24 PM - by fzr.rider
|
So I took into looking at bike prices in France and Germany and the prices are so much better than Ireland with the bikes being in way better condition. With the possibility of my holiday to Italy being cancelled, I'm thinking of taking a week holiday to either France or Germany and bring back 2 or 3 bikes back in the van. Could sell 2 to cover the costs of everything. I know there are lads that do that as a job and it would work out cheaper, but where's the fun in that.
Has anyone any experience in buying / Importing bikes from there. What's the craic with log books? I'm guessing they are meant to send them away so how does that work when you have an Irish address and need a logbook to import it?
Cheers

» How do you filter? |
|
Mar 10, 2020 - 5:42 PM - by sprockets
|
So how do you filter on dual carriageway/M50. On the hard shoulder or in between traffic?
Personally, I do not use the hard shoulder unless there is absolutly no option, and even then I slow to a crawl and move out as soon as possible. There's too much debris there, so risk of punctures higher.
Also, I think cagers do not look if existing early and move onto the hard shoulder.
And the Gardai do not like anyone using the hard shoulder, so more likely to get pulled.
And another question. What is the max speed you filter at before just going with the flow of traffic?
