Snowing here in ratoath. Still half thinking of heading out though? Whats it like elsewhere?

OK Kildare area

Cienciano

Was snowing in west dublin all morning, but nothing sticking. But miserable. I'm supposed to head to Naul and someone told me the road is covered in slush.

I would go out in anything but not icy roads, I aint got the skillz for that and no shame in admitting it. Knock it on the head till tomorrow and we do something nice for the ****bank holiday.

YAY....the mint feasts are on Mick :pac::pac::pac:

You are grand m8, I remember needing work done and not being up to speed and its great to have someone give you a hand. Nothing worse then your bike off the road for whatever reason....just make sure its fixed right as you cant be taking chances with the brakes.

See you on the road soon.

On another note it was a durty durty day yesterday, out with Leppla since 10am and did not get back till 8pm. That was in all sorts of weather had 2 close calls in that time, came around a bend in Trim fairly moving and the biggest swan I have seen walking across the fookin road!!!! I taught I was seeing things, dont know where the fcuk it came from. Then an diesel tanker shot its load all over the navan to trim road the smell stayed with me for about 5 mins it was that bad!

Learned alot being out yesterday in that crap weather.....PR3 tyres are a GOD SENT!

Craic wise I never laughed so much (long story) the weather was piss poor for the 2nd half of the day but with the right gear its no probs.

Picked up a new master cylinder in city spares rooted through a big box of them found an exact match.. score!

Cleaned it up a bit now if the rain would be so kind as to ...go away for an hour I'd be in good shape

Would you stop issues with the front brakes....the ****in things never get used thats why there are issues. Try riding the bike and they will work!!!

I will be out during the week with Leppla if ya fancy a brekkie somewhere mate. Then on Sunday I have a nice spin planned....I will text ya Fri. So dont go doing an Oliver Reed on Sat Bunny :mad:

Lets hope this snow holds off.

No was having problems with front brakes ever since i switched to braided lines, first was bleeding issues and now i have to get the pistons done on both calipers, and there is a slight warp in the left disc:(

Wonda-Boy

Are you sure the disc is warped?
PM sent.

Hotblack Desiato

If it's a fully floating disc then cleaning the bobbins might be worth a try.

Vikings

I replaced my sticky brake calipers with something a little stronger

Meant to be a fine day tomorrow, so it will be nice to get out and have a laugh before the **** holiday when the road is plastered with Dentists on BMWs!!!!!

LOL

Doing a poker run myself tomorrow. First time on the bike in 6 months since I had the accident. Nervous to say the least. Using the OH's bike as mine is still in bits.

Save me some reading time (which could be outdated anyway): who/what/when/where do yee meet and what numbers are there usually? And what do yee do?

Thinking I'll start going to a few...between this ****ty weather and work I've only been biking as a commute these last 4 months.

Makes me laugh.:D

Little amuses the mental....

With your EXTENDED list of contacts and being a member certain "other forums" what you want to go out with noobs who cant ride a bike in anyway Tommy?

So you can brag and take the piss, and post up on other forums slagging people behind their backs and then ask them to go for a spin with you. Wait till the summer you will have loads of friends on bikes.

Its been posted up here many times where we meet and what time, mostly its for lads who are learning and need a bit of confidence like myself and the others. Only criteria for the spins are no assholes....GO FIGURE. :rolleyes:

TBH the numbers have decreased recently with the weather....usually there are anything from 3 (like yesterday) to 10. No route is decided as its not a RIDE OUT so to speak, we meet up at a time that suits everyone at a place that is convenient for most and have a bit of brekkie. Then ask around what way lads wanna go, very relaxed no egos and just a bit of craic.....we have lads coming from Carlow, Cavan, Wicklow and all over Dublin and Meath. So its impossible to post up exact times and routes.....if you wanna go no probs. We post up the day or two before hand and see whats what. If the weather is bad I wont post here at all just text the lads I know will be out in all weathers.
