Yes, yes it would

I've been thinking about a Grom for a while now, pretty handy little bikes.

I'll post pics of my in the for sale thread soon. It's white and has a full (real) akrapovic exhaust. I don't even think it has 800 kilometers on the clock.

They're 125 cc and because they weigh feck all they go like the stink.

blade1 · 20-02-2018 10:41pm

Kawasaki's version is the Z125

I've seen it, and she's a little cracker. I hope she goes to a good home.

An army buddy and good friend of mine had his bike stolen from his back garden in Lucan last night/early this morning.

Its a KTM Adventure 990, he only has it less than two weeks and the kunts got it all ready.

Can you please share his facebook post HERE

Johnny's a good lad, doesn't deserve this sh*t ~ no more than any of us do.

Any even know where bikes stolen around there are normally dumped/hidden?.

Jesus man, that's a balls. I hope the little bastards are caught and skinned.

I don't have Facebook myself anymore, but I've asked some of the lads around the office to share it on.

I took last Monday off as it looked less rainy than usual on the forecast. Decided to test the integrated GPS directions on my new BMW GSA and strangely enough it kept directing us here !!

No idea why .....

blade1 · 23-02-2018 4:04pm

Stumbled across this old pic.
Not sure of year but I think it was around 1991when I owned it.
RD 125lc but with a powervalve engine fitted.

thos · 26-02-2018 10:21am

Bit of a cold one this morning, but in fairness not too bad. Thermals on. Swore the heated grips werent working though.

Yeah, that would have been red and white originally.
She was a little rocket.
Some bawl of the exhaust too.
Cops pulled me one night and your man says to me...
What you think you have..a f**king aeroplane is it? :pac:

Cienciano · 26-02-2018 3:14pm

Going to be seriously cold the next few days. Thank **** I have the option of a car

CJhaughey · 26-02-2018 3:26pm

Cold isn't the real problem, lack of grip is the big issue when the precipitation freezes.
Even with 4 wheels under you it can be sketchy, better fit a set of proper tyres and ride carefree!

Working from home as an option is even better.

Tuesday night was bike armageddon - it's never happened that I never saw a single bike on the way home, but that was my fate at 7-ish o'clock, where were yiz

Eyes open Wed AM and it was clear the bike was going nowhere, thankfully shortly before I-need-to-run-out-of-the-house-to-catch-the-****ey-bus-service time, I got a message from work saying they were shut down

On RTE1 right now ... the half-sighted gomers who hold onto the licences they never did a test to get... and shure isn't it great keeping the ault people mobile :eek:

When I achieve my life's ambition of riding on my motorcycle to Aras an Uachtarain to pick up my 100 year old congrats-on-still-being-alive-cheque I shall look forward to RTE making a documentary about me

Hotblack Desiato · 03-03-2018 10:04pm

Well done to all the Defence Forces personnel who have assisted civilians in need in recent days.

They always answer the call.

Sonics2k · 05-03-2018 11:14am

Take care of her, and she'll take care of you.

With some really crappy timing we had to move house on the 28th of Feb, right in the middle of the blizzard. Obviously I wasn't able to drive the bike to the new house, so I managed to get her into the old house for a couple of days to make sure she wasn't wrecked by the snow.

Drove her to the new house last night, which was slightly terrifying as the roads were still quite icy. She got me home safe though.

Did the wife mind being in the old house for a few days while you were in the new one :P
