    Modern hipsters very definitely do not drink coffee from Starbucks.

    It's nice to look at, but if you google it, the riding position looks ridiculous.

    Looks like a cross between a Minimoto and a Hardly Ablesome; a hipster bike is a good call, i'd refer to it as a poseurs bike though, for short arsés :)

    So the reviews for this came out about two weeks ago and are absolutely glowing.

    I'm giving SERIOUS thought to selling my Honda S2000 car (which I simply don't use any more) and putting the cash toward a Bobber which I could use as a daily driver.

    My question is, how bad are Triumph Dublin to deal with? And if the answer is bad, then where else in Ireland should one order the Bobber?

    Try going in and seeing for yourself. Personally i think the internet is GREAT!, but at the same time it can through up an echo chamber of just negative experiences. The positive ones are on looking to scream stuff down.

    So id go check for myself. I mean its hardly going to waste anything but your time having a word with them.

    I wouldn't give them the steam off my p!ss, sold me a crashed Triumph Rocket and numerous other turkeys until I got sick of giving them the benefit of the doubt and took my money elsewhere.

    There's others here who have had problems with bikes going in to be fixed or have parts fitted and coming out worse.

    Lots of people, including a few of my colleagues, buy their Triumphs from Philip McCallen, seems to give very good service, and they go all the way from Galway.

    I see Kennedy's in Louth comes up on Google, and I regularly see Triumphs in Lee Honda in Cork, so you can still get one even if you don't want to deal with the Dublin shop - don't let that be an obstacle.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    A brand new shiney chromed up bike as a daily driver? Dunk it in a vat of ACF50 first.

    A little razzamatazz and flashing lights, bit of a party apparently.

    Is ther bike parking at the event?

    Answered my own question, organisers very quick to respond to a mail I sent.

    Yes, bikes can park at the front of the RDS main hall we also have overflow parking across the road (Simmonscourt grounds).
    Parking is free for all bikes at the Carole Nash Irish Motorbike Show.

    I said it before, but if the weather is good the bike park is the best part of the bike show.
