» Nice chap on a Bonneville |
|
Dec 06, 2019 - 2:55 PM - by glxfr
|
Stopped next to a nice chap on a bonneville yesterday on my commute home on the Sth circular road near the coombe hospital X road.
Nice from time to time to come across other nice riders...
Had a brief chat until the lights changed...
Noticed lately that the old nodging tradition btw bikers is fading away...

Hi,
Need to sell my current bike first but looking to get a more powerful bike next.
Really like the Tuono 1000R 2009-2011 model.
Not sure I can take a pilion though and it seems hard to find a kit to fit a top box. I know it won't look great on that bike but I need one for the gear.
I Like the KTM 990 SMT too but hard to find on my budget.
What would suggest?
looking for a good bit of grunt, a good sound from the exhaust to be heard in traffic but not so much on idle to keep my neighbours happy

» Lights Lads, it's winter |
|
Dec 03, 2019 - 2:34 PM - by Southern Rider
|
Lads, check yer rear lights, I drive the South Ring in Cork, early morning & late evening, both in darkness, and I see every day, and I mean everyday guys with no rear lights.
I appreciate bulbs can go anytime, but what I see is not that, just be careful, it's hard enough to spot a bike in the dark that has working lights.
Why can't manufacturers make bikes more visable from the rear, and worse, top boxes usually overhang rear lights.

» 1998 driving test v Current test , Licence |

Question on passing the test 20 years and what you could ride
What were the requirements for riding a big bike back 20 years ago different to today.
How many riding test were they back in those days. Was it a single test on 125 or was their a second test on the big bikes after that.
I know a person who passed his 125cc A1 about 1998, rode for a few years on the 125 and now wants to get on the big bikes.
Was there a requirement to gain two years riding experience before you could ride the big bikes.
His Licence only shows A1 Marked on pink licence
Is he required to do a test now on the big bike?

Nov 27, 2019 - 6:20 PM - by Rockster

Just noticed my master cylinder has been leaking (probably for some time as havent driven the bike in a while) and there is a kind of a white streak mark in the fairing panel where the dot 4 has dripped down damaging the paintwork.
Short of bringing it to an expert or buying a new fairing is there any over the counter products that might work?

So this is one with a bit of a difference....it’s being (for the majority),built by my 12 year old son.
It’s very much an unloved lump,but not beyond redemption. Was a solid daily runner till the output shaft let go on it...managed to source a complete sound gearbox,and he has shown interest in getting his hands dirty so we got stuck in.

» Cookstown 100 road races in trouble ! |
|
Nov 19, 2019 - 4:01 PM - by Admin
|
Organisers of the Cookstown 100 are concerned for the future of the road race after losing £20,000 at this year's event.
The Cookstown & District Motorcycle club said poor weather and rising insurance costs led to 2019 losses.
"If the trend continues, our heritage will fade away," said a club statement.
Last month it was revealed the Ulster Grand Prix's future is in doubt and the Enniskillen 100 will not take place next season.
Next year's Cookstown 100 is set to take place on 24 and 25 April, and BBC Sport... [Read More]

I missed this when it was broadcast on BBC 1 a year after Williams passing
eventually found it last night .
William was the smoothest and most natural rider i have seen and I loved to watch his style . spoke with him a few times and he was a true gent
Good to see BBC gave him the recognition he deserved too
a credit to his partner Janine his two girls and the Dunlop family and of course his mum and the late Robert & uncle Joey
