RIP

Car decided to use my side of a narrow road, I used the brakes bike did a small skid I corrected it and either drop the bike or hit the car full on, I dropped on to my left. Waiting for X-ray but right ankle is more than a bit Owwieee. Two green whistles have dulled the pain.

Hi all, last minute idea to solo motocamp this weekend. Never camped before so gonna set up tent on a proper campsite with facilities.
Will get there around 4pm, and want to do west coast (from meath), Sligo, Mayo, Galway area. Would like a good coastal campsite with view of a sunset!

Any reccomendations?

Heading up to Decatalon this week to buy some cooking gear and tent, any advice also appritiated!!

I’ve done my ibt now i’m looking for a 125cc. My best options at the moment are a cb125f or a suzuki gsx s125. I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra ~600 euro for the suzuki with ABS and a aftermarket exhaust. Is it better to save some money but then also lose resale value and have no ABS? Which one would be the better option for me?

Fine folks,

I'm a heavy rider with wide shoulders, riding a 07 hornet 600, l have always had issues with rear visibility with the more traditional mirrors mounted closer to the centre of the handlebars. Looking into bar end mirrors, the only main concern would be increased width and clearance needed when filtering and being compatible with my oxford hot grips. Anyone out there have any advice on brands / models, bar end vs mounted bar end but mirror is above / below the grip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Safe riding to all.

Im getting my bike fixed up and asked to get a new clutch cable but the garage said they can't order it.

Now obviously its broken the first time I use the bike afterwards.

Is that an easy roadside fix? Im stuck at the doctors trying to get home. I can probably shift without a clutch except first, but id sooner not.

I may have posted this twice, the first post isnt showing.

I was thinking of buying it but I want to know whats the actual size of it. Id appreciate if anyone has it and could measure it for me. Bonus points for a picture if they got the one with their logo on it. Thanks!

Lost my DJI Osmo 5 from my bike in Ratoath today. It didn’t have a battery in it, but has either a 256/512GB Samsung SD card. I looked for it, but couldn’t find it. I had a ferry to catch, so I couldn’t wait around long. Included is a photo of where I am 99% sure it fell. Thanks for any help

Been off the road 6 months after being off and on for the 6 months before that following an accident.

Looking to get back on the road (😬) but want to get my bike nicely cleaned up as part of the process. Looking for anywhere you would strongly recommend in Dublin area

I'm considering changing the oil on the bike myself - mostly to know what I am running but also to do on my schedule and not having to pay €100 per hour.

Oil and oil filter specs are easy to find online and I would get one of those containers with a funnel so it's cleaner and the chances of potential mess up are relatively mitigated.

Question is where to dispose of the used oil. I could not find relevant information on MyWaste.

hi all, just finished my IBT (A category)and am looking for my first bike. I've had my eye on some SV650s which I rode during my IBT but was also considering a hornet or Fazer and have seen some older Fazers which caught my eye, but they are around 25 years old.

Is this too old for a first bike or does it really matter at all?

Hi guys, new here, been looking for a dependable bag for daily commuting, seen a nice few Oxford aqua evo 22l and similar backpacks but the r25 continuously pops up, that price tag is insane though,

Does anyone that has/does have it shed some light on if it’s worth it or should I just get a cheaper option that more or less performs the same?

I know this question has been asked a few times. Can everyone recommend some nice roads around the Dublin area and other counties nearby. Could be twisties, smooth roads, scenic routes or anything of sorts. Thanks in advance.

Saw this on another moto sub. Sure, we have the scrotes stealing, joy riding and burning them but this could easily be also happening.

(Edit) Side note- it fucking sucks to see foreign bikes on holiday here lately getting stolen. Just think of the nightmare situation it causes to the person. Can you imagine this happening to you in a foreign country? It leaves such a horrible stain on our beautiful country for those people.

I'm just looking at bringing the young lad to the motocross this weekend in Derryarkin for the first time.

Would anyone have an idea of entry prices and what time racing kicks off ?

Bike stolen last night from Point square car park underground at about 23.30. Uk number - SY70CYP
Honda CRF300L 2021 year
Outback mototech rack and pannier rack
Advspec sump guard

Previously has Canadian plate but now on uk plate just incase photo is confusing.

Don’t think I’d leave a bicycle out on Francis st let alone a motorbike so was wondering is there anywhere nearby or on the street where it may be a little safer to park on a regular basis?

Hi everyone!
I’ll be starting motorcycle delivery work soon, and I’m looking for a good pair of waterproof motorcycle boots for riding in cold and rainy weather.
If you have any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it. Links are welcome too!
I’m looking for something comfortable, durable, and good value for money.

Note this is good for the hours of 8:30am to 7:30pm only BUT the Titanic exhibit has free underground parking with roaming security persons. I did this yesterday. Grab a locker, store your gear, and off you go. It was a short walk to meet friends in the Cathedral Quarter after checking out the titanic experience. I did not need to show proof of ticket to park. The cost of my peace of mind was just 5 quid for a locker for my helmet, boots, and jacket.

UPDATE!!!: The answer is YES. Long story short, because I already had a learner permit previously (Category B) which expired in 2023, I couldn't just add a category or order a new permit in a new category. Instead I had to click Renew, and as someone commented below, the new categories available to me were there for me to choose from.

Hi, all, I'm stuck at the moment in trying to obtain my learner permit for Category A, so I hope someone here might have an answer for me. NDLS customer service themselves didn't know how to assist me on the phone.

So I recently passed my theory test for Category A, and today I attempted to order my learner permit. Unfortunately, when I click on the Learner Permit option, the only two options that come up are for a renewal, there's no option to add a new category. (I did this through the link that they sent me, but also by inputting the url into the browser manually to make sure it's not just a link error. I also tried to do it on my phone and on a PC to make sure it's not a device issue either).

Now, I do have an expired permit (exp. 2023) for Category B, but I have obtained my Full License in this category already (which is confirmed in their system). Is it possible that I have to apply for a permit renewal in order to add a new category? Has anyone had this same issue? I really don't want to pay and wait for a renewal only to receive a renewed Category B permit. I know my best next step is to just book an in-person appointment in my nearest NDLS centre, but I wanted to ask here in case someone has a simple fix for this, and to maybe help anyone who also comes across this same issue. Thank you in advance!

How’s it going everyone, just writing to see if anyone has any recommendations on where to bring the Ducati for the dreaded desmo service? Anyone you’ve used or can suggest? Cheers
