Can a bike be "over-tyred"?
I don't mean size-wise.
But is it possible to fit (road legal) tyres that are too sticky onto a bike from a previous generation of chassis and suspension technology?
I'm shaking me head as I'm typjng this because I've a feeling this could be a defining moment in my biking life!

Riding in the snow because you love being on a bike, your stone mad or it's the only form of transport you have.
Having my Suzuki GS550 with me on it being pushed out of Snow drifts twice by my wife was a rare experience indeed

Just my 2 cents. Have seen so many posts about buying here there and everywhere lately but nobody seems to ever mention keeping the money on the island. Have been in the market for new helmet and 2 piece suit, both current high end 2021 stock from a local dealer at just about the same price as anywhere online, I’m not affiliated to any shop just my opinion to at least give the locals a chance to price... several mates buying gear online and nothing but headaches trying to get right sizes and such..

» DHL ripoff |
|
Feb 10, 2021 - 6:06 PM - by allsorts&oddjobs
|
I ordered some bits in from the uk, i know theres extra taxes etc but it wasnt a lot of stuff so i was happy enough to pay the extra, that was untill DHL decided to add on another 'administrative ' charge that they pulled out of their arse, its to cover them in case other people dont pay their taxes, not my taxes, other peoples, so instead of keeping the goods and selling them to recoup the loss or going after the seller or buyer, me and you and every other buyer is going to have to pay an extra 'administrative ' charge.
Cnuts, ok its only a fiver (minimum) but its a pure rip off, typical company behaviour, rip off the poor bastard at the bottom of the pile.
I paid up cos i need the bits but its the last penny the cunts will ever get from me, id rather spend fifty quid... [Read More]

was having a squiz on dungdeal, 11 R1s for sale ...and nothing fresh
is it my imagination ? there was never so few bikes for sale?

Well lads and lassies, I see we are all probably going to be doing Irish holidays if any, this year, so it got me thinking, one of you mentioned the wild Atlantic way thingy and seeing as I live in the hills of beautiful Sligo I thought why not offer a stopover place, I have a little studio type room that was a shed, bed, fireplace, patio door, deck etc, it's separate from the house and will sleep one or two, if any of ye want to use it then it's there, just give me plenty notice, it's just my way of saying fuck off to the sun holiday 😂
Ps, it's €1 per night 🤣🤣🤣🤣

» Sidecar motorbike - holiday this summer |
|
Feb 08, 2021 - 10:01 PM - by manbearpig
|
Hi Lads,
Been toying with the idea of a sidecar - I understand that they drive weird and are nothing like "real" biking etc but as a way to get around with the wife and child I can think of nothing cooler.
This year's foreign holidays are fu*ked- even beyond this year I love the idea of doing road trips rather than the sunlounger and pool in spain year in year out.
I'd say it'll be around ireland this year and then further afield next year and subsequent years. . .if we were ever to go to mainland europe for a trip I'd take the bike on the ferry and the family fly over. . .can load up in luggage and have a day or two to myself.
Any thoughts?

Looking at picking up a visor from this crowd. Value at €35 including shipping by Royal Mail.
Will I get hit with duty/VAT? Anywhere I can work out how much this will be?
I presume An Post will ship from this end.....do they collect VAT etc?

» Localised heating of engine block to free bolt |
|
Feb 08, 2021 - 12:12 PM - by strontium_dog
|
There has been a total bodge done on the engine casings of my ZRX. An engine mount bolt looks like it was snapped and someone hammered a steel rod in to either try to push it out or just to have something coming out through the mount (??). Either way it is jammed solid so I've got to try to remove it and then try to get the bolt out.
What's the position on using some heat to loosen the aluminium and then hopefully removing the rod and finally punching out the bolt?
Is there a danger of cracking the ally when it's hot?

» Tiger 800 - experiences? |
|
Feb 02, 2021 - 4:13 PM - by RTV
|
Hi folks,
Wifey is considering an upgrade from her CB500X, mainly looking for more power. She would like to be somewhere in the 800cc range to keep a balance between power and size/weight.
For what I've been doing my research, the Tiger 800 seems to fit the bill just fine. We'll probably be looking around 2011/2012 model.
What's your take on these bikes? Reliability? Are they as fun to ride as they say?
I would much appreciate your feedback and experiences with these yokes.
Cheers
Rami
