    Guys up above are having an end of year sale, couple of good bargains like TCX boots for £99. Worth a google and have a look see for an early CHRIMBO pressie (thats right Christmas, I said it :eek::eek: )

    Will be going up next week on the bike for a gander and the spin. ;)

    Nice price but I always found the TCX boots to be quite heavy to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 896 ✭✭✭blu3r0ri0n


    Count me in!

    Bah, those aren't touring TCX boots.

    Have a pair from the bike show in ireland last year.

    My current all purpose/weather (bar track) tcx boots are getting a bit old now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    When are you heading up ?? Could do with blasting the cobwebs off the GSX.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Mr Sheen!

    Will know what day I am going end of this week, will not be going the motorway thats for sure too many pork chops especially over the boarder. Will be going the back roads so will make sure its a dry day....and we can see what that beast of a GSXR can do! Might learn a few tricks off you ya never know.....

    I aint buying them boots, I have the the Alpinestars goretex that are outstanding in the wet. Its just the TCX are a good price for a decent boot.

    Sure I will see if I can get up when you's are going. I have heard there are some nice fast twistys all the way up. Any good spots to stop for tae on the way up??

    Breakfast at Watsons before we start the journey? I never have time for breakfast as I usually wake up too late or run errands in the morning and have to haul ass to the meet point :rolleyes:

    Well look, just dont loose me en route if I cant keep up sprinkle some bread crumbs and I follow them....all we now is that "LUNATIC" on the CBR1100 or Busa and we be rightly fooked trying to stay legal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,545 ✭✭✭Green_Martian

    Ah sure if we cant keep up with the BIG BOYS on our smaller bikes we will catch them on the smoke breaks along the way :D:D

    Just having a look at the HG website also, might spin on up to the FAST BELL for a nose around. They are having a good sale on own branded goods.....

    Eh, is it that you're not licenced to ride in NI? Learner permits are not valid across the border and if you're not licensed, you're not insured.
    People who use the roads in a motor vehicle without insurance deserve everything they get, and then some.
    I can't think of any other reason to avoid a motorway due to 'pork chops' :rolleyes: unless your bike is under 50cc :pac: - or you have a pathological inability to obey a speed limit and you're worred the PSNI will pull a gun on you :)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Motorways are boring anyway :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,530 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Wouldn't watching out for 'pork chops' make it more interesting though? :cool:

    I know for a fact this lad has his full licence so having a learner permit across the border isn't an issue. He's taking to the back roads because they're a lot less mundane than the motorway. When I go up, I do the same and I have my full licence a fair few years. It's not about trying to pull a fast one on the rozzers, it's about making the most out of the spin Just setting the story straight. :)

    Call yourself a biker and you cant think of one good reason to avoid motorways!!!! :eek: :p

    Did my fair share of blasts up north via the motorway when doing the road races and it is headwrecking even at high speeds at 6am with very little traffic around going up.

    Back roads all the way, spin 1st and if I get a bargain well and good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Looks like this will be on FRIDAY 16th heading up to HG in Belfast and possible Crossans on the way back for good measure. Its always handy to know where Crossans is for those never been.....its meant to be a wet day on Friday for the spin but sure it will sort the men from the boys.

    Good chance to test the PR3's again....and Green Martian just got a set of Pir. Angels so will be nice to check them out on the GSXR.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Mr Sheen!


    Im in I shall go and book it off work now. Have no money to buy anything but that never stopped me before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Flexible friend man.....flexible friend.....or give the missus the "Puppy Dawg" eyes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Mr Sheen!

    Wacky races at its best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,545 ✭✭✭Green_Martian

    No point throwing the nose into RPM when heading up to Crossans and HG, his stock is quite limited TBH. I dont mind its on the way so if ya wanna go in no probs. ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,545 ✭✭✭Green_Martian


    So whats the planned route and what time we meeting up at etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    I am on it, if you wanna meet at the usual spot and we go from there to the regular breakfast places....prolly best to start this side to get the nice roads in.

    We could all meet up at the usual breakfast spot. Might save a bit of time. Then fill the stomach's and hit the twistys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy


    Dont mind where we meet but dont wanna be heading back on ourselves to get the nice roads in........if we were belting up the motorway then applegreen SS on the M1 would be ideal but sure thats a waste of space with the nice roads running parrallel to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,013 ✭✭✭✭Wonda-Boy
