If your commuting to Bolton St on a motorbike make sure you lock it up with several high security locks and alarm it. I know several lads that had bikes lifted from that place.

There was a course mentioned here (or on another forum, sorry can't remember!) which takes place in PobalScoil Rosmini, Grace Park Road, Drumcondra. 10 week night course, instructor and course was highly recommended.

Here's the link to the school page, the course starts end Sept on Tuesday nights...

Hoping to sign up for it myself this year!

I done this last year. Martin Cummins is the instructor. Really nice guy. The course covers the basics and what to look for when you are buying a second hand and new bike. Well worth the €90 and I have saved that 3 times over already

unless they fixed that course & got actual funding i wouldnt really recommend the bolton street course

If you can get out to skerries there is a very good course run on a wednesday night in the secondary school

yeah its run in the secondary school on tuesday/wednesday nights for about 8/10 weeks (depends on the time of year) & there usually are 2 courses, beginner(maintenance) & advanced (engine work, forks, carbs, etc)im sure if you give the school a buzz they can give you all the details about when the course starts.

Emailed them there, so if I hear nothing from them I will post in one before the end of the week.
