My rear tyre has become a sharp object magnet as of late...

2 fúcking nails in the last month :mad:

I had a new pilot 3 on my rear and got a slit in it from some builders shrapnel, rendering it unfixable and stranded, I carry a pump and strings for on the fly repairs, a nail would be about 5 mins to fix.

Carry this bad boy with me, picked it up Stateside, great piece of kit.



What really pisses me off is it's a Z8 Interact with only 350km on it :mad:

There's nothing that fixes slits though

could you commute through Dublin city traffic on a gl1500.....
My commute is mostly motorway with a bit of city stuff.
I've done it on a pan no problem, but the gl looks way more comfy!

On the way in to town yesterday around 11:30 my car was left shaking from the speed of the biker going towards Blessington on the N81... I did think it was tad bit too fast.

Only to realise unmarked car with lights and siren blasting pushing cars out of the way to catch up!

I don't think they even had a chance to get the flips never mind catch up!

They might surprise you and there's a chance if the guy trying to get away doesn't keep a cool head, he could lose it on a bend.

Was coming back from blessington around that time too, was pretty busy alright... Saw a marked car heading down too.

Lots of nice machines out

Blew a few cobwebs outta the fazer

Nice. Actually I was going to ask. the two roads that intersect at sally gap, one of them is fairly smooth and one is real bumpy - which one has the bad surface does anyone know?

Sally gap to glendalough (military rd) is horrible

This one?

Any idea looking at the clocks what speed he was doing on impact?

I would imagine he was sore the next day

Zascar

Idiot!!! I know the car moved forward, but still - stupid move...

Tempted to say he deserved it but he didnt...but yeah total dip **** doing that. So many unknown factors. If I was in the car I would say he was speeding might get away with a portion of the blame 75-25% against me.

Skill Magill

He was already angry and should never have booted through like that, what did he expect? As pointed out to me by a guard, a green light doesn't give right of way, it means proceed with caution, which he obviously didn't do.

Wossack

I'd guestimate 40-50kph. still fast enough to lose a leg.. so lucky in some respects. Still epically silly mind you

Wonda-Boy

What was his end game there.....scare the intersection guy into not blocking the intersection ever again by flying by all MOTO GP styleyyyyyy!

He'll be more careful next time.

Might actually hit this up, we have gone up there a fair bit and I do actually want to bring the 1190 out for test session to compare it with the 1200 explorer.
