What a day!

sutty

Well, I just a m after driving into town, to pick up some wiring bridges for installing my alarm tomorrow morning. But WOW... it some great day out. Sun is shining, roads are warm, tires are warm... I even almost got my knee down (if I had of had protection on my legs, I would have) Would love to be on a ride out right now....

Hmmmm... who wants to go on a ride out tomorrow?

KTRIC

Count me in for tomorrow.

Providing I can get that F**king baffle out of my left pipe in time.

I'm thinking somewhere in the wicklow mountins. Go for a lunch or something? However my knowhow of the area is limited. Anyone know some good spots?

I think Sutty is just trying to get a few heads together and then sort something out.

If you're there tomorrow I'll take a look at those baffles for you. You'd be surprised how easy it is to remove them without any drilling or hassle.

Dr4gul4

i'll deffo be surprised


sutty get off ure rear end where are we gonna meet up ?

im prob as bad 4 directions as he is though

sutty

Well I am thinking the Deadmans inn in Lucan (just accross from Liffy vally)
access it coming from Dublin by going down the road to liffy vally, but turning to the right at the first roundabout there. Then off to the first exit on the second one right after it. Its a nice carpark. So anyone got any thoughts of nice places up the mountins?

As for time... say 1:30 and leave at 2. We can then grab food in a bar up in wicklow.

KTRIC

Sounds good to me. I'll be there for 13:30, and I'll bring my GPS just in case we get lost or need to find a bar .

The Doktor

Here`s a nice spin for you...I often do it. Head to blessington, and then up the Wicklow gap heading for Laragh. Then stop for a bite in Laragh, theres a spot with tables outside where u see plenty of bikes...
Then after food. Head through the sally gap (bit bumpy though but nice).



Regarding baffles in the dragstar. I looked at taking out the ones in my old 650. Its a bit of a bastard. It does involve drilling.
It was easier and to get a set of reasonably cheap straight through pipes.

sutty

That sounds like a nice day alright. Would you be able to PM me a route?

Dr4gul4

kk sounds ok.. not sure about the milage :rolleyes:

sume of us only have 250's ya know teh old tank only holds so much petrola

i might drop over to see ure bike though sutty

sutty

Sure 250's will get just as good a mileage out of its tank, as a 600+ would... It be good crack, sure

sutty

This is the route by The Dokter (thanks, sounds great!)

route through mountains
First head to blessington,
From M50 take Tallaght exit, and stay on N81 all the way to Blessington (straight road, nice and smooth)
From blessington turn left onto R758 where it is signposted for "valleymount" As far as I can remember this is just after you go through blessington. This road will take you across bridges on the lake, very nice.
You will eventually come to a T junction turn left for Laragh.
Just stay on this road, this will take u past glendalough etc.
When you get to Laragh, you cant miss the spot for lunch.
In Laragh take the road signposted for "sally Gap" (left R155) On this road you are heading back to dublin, and there is only one junction, at the Sally Gap its self and you are staying on R155 heading to Glencree.
You will come back into Dublin around Rathfarnham, just follow signs for the M50, and you will be sorted

When you look at this rout on the map it looks like it is quite short, but the roads are pretty twisty and slow, but a beautiful spin.


In Short... Off M50 for Tallaght. Head for Blessington.
Turn left after Blessingon for Valleymount, Stay on road to Laragh, Turn left in Laragh for Sally Gap, and back to M50

Let me know if this makes sense to u!!

Dr4gul4

Dr4gul4

though it was further tbh, lets hope 4 open roads, no fecking Sunday drivers and no cops either c yis all @ 1:30

j@utis

hi there again! it was very nice to meet some new faces, get some proper food (i mostly live on that what comes in cans or packages - too lazy to cook). it was nice, relaxing spin through wicklow mountains too (I usually spin faster, longer and further )
cheers guys, you're great!

I'm not that very 'sports' yet: lack of experience and decent sports bike

Anyway it's nice not having to say 'another day goes to waste'

ok, I said sorry like a hundred times...

And it came back on me, with the sunburn (/me is hurting right about now!)

It was a fantastic spin, gonna get the pics and movies I made off the camera now. Really must do it again.

That GPS was good... untell you came to a town or some thing with a shap turn. It was too slow to update to tell you where to go. Shame. But I rathered the Aimless, directionless driving. It was good crack. Oh and that lad in the Helicoptor was NUTS!!!!

Dr4gul4
