just checking …
pulling engine apart and looking for female m28x1.5 magneto puller

got one from china but M28 seems to mean something different over there:D

Drives up the price on jackets, gloves etc but are the in house equivalents just as good e.g. Dainese D Dry – will this keep you just as dry?

Ah never mind.

I’ve had the TT Races on my bucket list for years but it always seemed to clash with someone’s wedding or first communion etc

I was just wondering if anyone has booked for next year and if so how are you getting there? I wanted a long weekend but ferries are either leaving midweek or leaving 4am. Is it a case that ferries on the most suitable dates are now fully booked?

Also does anyone know of private charters which might be cheaper from around Carlingford/Kilkeel?

For accommodation we will hopefully camp so cant see that being an issue.

Failing that how does the Manx Grand Prix in August compare for atmosphere?

Any info much appreciated

Hi
Can anyone tell me if its safe to use the companies that buy your motorbike from you to save you selling it yourself. I was thinking of webuyanymotorcycle.ie site. Has anyone used this site and would you recommend please?

Guys quick question,how much oil goes into each fork on a gz125?Any info would be great,Thanks all

I’m going to be in the very fortunate position of getting my first brand new bike in the next couple of months but I’ve gotten really frustrated at the lack of bikes available for test drives. I know there isn’t the volume of business to have demos for every make and model but they really do seem few and far between across the board.

I’ve never bought a machine, new or used before, without at least a 20/30 minute spin and was wondering how other folk deal with it. Bearing in mind I’d be planning on keeping whatever I do go with for the next 10 years, I want to be sure it’s right for me.

Sorry if this has been asked before (did search but found nothing) but can I do my A2 test on my own bike (cb450) which isn’t on the approved list or will I have to source something else?
