Posted by myself as a heads up/warning to all bikers out there,with regards the nasty weather forecast and seen as there was tragic fatality on Sunday too.

You might also care to notice/research the other threads talking about bad weather on the motorbike forum.




Thanks for that lovely informative post of yours,seen as its your very 1st post on the motorbike forum.

Just to clarify, the bike fatality was on the M1 near Tyrone, NI, not the M1 from Dublin - Dundalk.

The deceased was a pensioner from Cookstown and has been named on Aertel.

I searched online for a report on this accident after reading the first post yesterday - since I live near the M1 (the Dublin-Dundalk one) and know a few bikers in this area - and couldn't find one on the Irish news sites.

I drove to Coventry yesterday.......sweet Jeebus. Brutal crossing on ferry first, and mayhem on the roads. Saw several guys on the motorway on bikes, and really didn't fancy it tbh. Felt scared FOR them, in fact.........looking at them, easy spot them from the front, but all were nigh-on invisible from rear. Scarily so.

I agree, the rain is heavy and a bit of wind but nothing mental. Yeah you gotta be on your toes alright but its not DEFCON 5 just yet.

The heavy snowfall of 1981 was fairly bad allright,I remember walking through around 18 inches of it then.:)




With the amount of flooded roads and streams of water running accross the roads this morning,anyone can be caught out very easily and fast too,regardless of age or experience.

Stay safe all.:)

I was doing courier work back in the 80's too!.. Marigold gloves inside your gauntlets and news paper down the front my my barbour jacket

Oh and the best tyres we had back them were Dunlop TT 100's



My rides back then were a Sanglass 500 and later a Yamaha XS400.

Todays weather, pfft!. Although I nearly had a spill this morning, I went wide to avoid a flood on a round about but the waters have washed oil and crap onto my line, the bike slide a bit and I thanked God for my sticky Conti's

Max Headroom

Funny that...i was recently talking about tyres to a mate and my favorite wet tyre back then was always Conti's....never liked the TT100's....in the wet the bike would even slide on the sidestand....:D

The memories eh!.

I don't remember ever running Conti's back then, maybe I did.

Do you remember when the Dunlop Arrowmax came out in the mid-late 80's and we all though we were GP racers

We're getting old :cool:

Me da is 65 and was on bikes since he was a teenager. He reckons the tyres from back in the 60's and 70's were a small step up from plastic they were so hard
