    too late :(

    wednesdays are good for me. I'm only on a 250 AND i drive like a girl, so people on 125's (or smaller) will feel oh so important :)

    While i do live in the crumlin area, im not from dublin, so route setting would probably be best left to someone w/ a bit more knowledge


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tree


    im gonna suggest wed 8th july for this one.

    all route suggestions welcome


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,778 Mod ✭✭✭✭Zascar


    On the wed spins with Biker.ie we used to meet at the Tuning Fork Pub, head up into the Sally Gap, get to Larragh, and head home through Enniskerry - always a good run. Meet at 6 - 6.30 - home by 9 or so.

    I know I've done it before but for some reason I cannot figure out how to plan out a route on google maps... Can anyone give instructions?

    Right click on a point -> Directions from here
    Right click on next point -> Directions to here
    Right click on next point -> Add destination


    Rinse & repeat

    So, whats the plan for next week?

    Where are we going to meet?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,201 ✭✭✭KamiKazi


    Yea its a bit too wet for me, my back tyre is completely bald down the middle :o So whats the plan for next wednesday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Next Wednesday sounds good to me, hopefully getting a service in the meantime too.

    So who wants to decide on a meeting point or a route? :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tree


    seven o'clock? at a convenient location?

    What about 6 at a an inconvenient location :D.

    Jokes.

    What do you consider a 'convenient location'?

    What about a route?

    I don't really mind where we meet up, even though I don't know Dublin very well at all.

    But it would be silly meeting in the city centre as we'll all end up in traffic, when it could be just the guys leaving the city centre that would end up in town.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 Hughsie


    Next Wed good for me too lads.
    I'm only on the bike a month and it's only a 250 as well.

    No scope - you're up for it too yeah?
    I'm working in Rathmines - based in Clondalkin.

    Must have a think about a route - lets get the ball rollin'...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭no scope


    yup i am indeed

    Good man Zascar

    I like :D.

    Which way? Clockwise or anti-clockwise?

    Now, just to get a meeting place - I asume somewhere in BallyB.

    There is a Topaz petrol station on the BallyB road - it is an option.

    Might get into trouble for this, but unfortunately got to know Iano, mrkennethporter etc and their a bunch if silly f*ckers :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Now don't get me wrong, some of the guys who turn up their are sound, such as xxALFxx, etc, but Iano and his little gang are a bunch of ar$eholes who like to think their some sort of 1% club or something. Avoid if possible that's all I can say :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Interesting, do go on...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Looks like a nice route Zascar, I snapped my clutch cable today (luckily enough I was only around the corner from Paddys Pitstop) so dropped it in for a full service. Would love a route like that on a hopefully sunny Wednesday evening next week.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 4,726 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tree


    That looks beautful Zascar, thanks.

    I shall be there with bells on :)
