    Will be starting shortly in Skerries Community college. They are on wednesday evenings iirc. And signed for the classes is this week with courses starting next week or the week after. I'll post further details when I get them. I saw it in a local newspaper over the weekend. If you are interested you might want to give the community college a phone call today to make sure you don't miss them. I've done the course twice and found it invaluable.

    Krusty, Ballyfermot is _technically_ southside ;) but I'll check my Wolfhound evening class guide when I get home for you.

    rymus, you could try contacting motorcycle ireland There are some non-Dub riders there who might know. AFAIK wolfhound doesn't do courses outside the Pale. Fás do some bike courses in Dublin. Try local VEC too.

    Was it Irish times or CrimeTime:D


    Anyway, I always service my vehicles, not only that you save few euro but you will get great buzz out of the fact that you have serviced your bike.

    At least you have assurance that your engine is filled with quality oil
    :)

    very true, very true. In fact in my latest service I could have saved about €150 if I'd known how to do stuff like changing oil, changing oil & air filters, putting in new plugs, changing brake pads, greasing bearings and so on. How depressing :(
