Thats actually a good point - (whether or not your being sarcastic as I dont know of any tracks in the area) I have no Problem with gangs of lads on bikes, unless they are doing what these guys are doing - the path bit was a bit stupid tho. Actually the whole video was........

I have forgotten my point!

there are no official tracks anywhere in Dublin just wasteland

if lads have an interest in bikes give them a bit of space to use

keep them off the streets

Pity the councils would not set up a few supervised tracks around the city where they could use their bikes

Without being all Tory about it (I'm all for facilities for kids), do you honestly think those lads would choose a sanitized environment like that over buzzing around more risky, public places like roads, paths and estates?

It makes perfect sense, they should have tracks for motorsports around the country. Irish people obviously like taking risks in cars and bikes. We are pretty good drivers, I think if they got these young girls and boys into proper facilities they could go on to have actual careers in racing.

Chris Harris recently put up a video of him living with the McLaren P1 for 2 days and he started the trip by taking it to a track to get the urge to hoon around out of his system before he hit the road.

Give people the opportunity to do it legally then come down on them like a ton of bricks if you find them acting illegally.

Yes, I do. Get the word out on the street - if you're able to ride the fcukan thing, then strap on your goolies and show us. On the short circuit, scrawping 'pegs at 100mph instead of acting the tool around the back-streets frightening children and oul' wans. Go onboard with 10-year-old Damien Jigalov, as he shows us how it's done:

Could really see a nice supervised bike track and youth club (with ginger beer and buns) giving that lad a Damascene conversion from the aul joyriding alright. :pac:

Yeah, though the problem is I wouldn't expect them to keep it to the streets.

Get them used to flying around Mondello at stupid speeds and before you know they're pushing themselves even harder around the Finglas estates because they believe der bleedin deadly.

Going skittering into the gravel on their arses a couple of times, as well as being lapped and shown the way around by an oul' fella on a Fireblade will knock much of the "Oi'm bleeeeedin' deadly Oi am!!" out of 'em, ta fcuk. :pac:

It would be awful if some citizen were to drive around with one of their friends leaning out the passenger window with a cricket bat...

inforfun · 31-03-2015 02:33PM

All nice and well if you would provide them with a track of some sorts.
But how do you think they will get there? Pushing their bikes?

I was at the South East Custom and Classic in Waterford many years ago. There was a chungfellit scutting up and down outside the Sweep pub on some sort of little trailbike. Until a couple of eighteen-stone Hell's Angels types came over either side and lifted him clean off it as he passed. Possibly the funniest thing I ever saw. :pac::pac::pac:

These young lads don't give a fcuk,you could make the whole lot of finglas into a track and they would be tearing through the streets ofcabra or glasnevin getting chased by the police is a buzz to them

The two lads at the SEC&C that time made your man give a fcuk. It is, at any rate, possible. :pac:

We have 3 within 10 miles of my house, about 6 proper tracks in the carlow area - including bikes tracks and autograss!

Theres one in gormanstown,about 40 minutes away on the M50/M1

I will say they are not the easiest thing to live near - the noise is unreal and would definately draw complaints from locals if it was built close to houses.

Dublin's version of this.

Most such facilities in the UK have noise-limit agreements in place with the local towns/residents, as well as agreement on how many/which days and times during which racing may take place. For example, Mallory Park in Leicestershire recently agreed a maximum permissible noise level of 105dB, on 92 "loud days" per year with the village of Kirkby Mallory. 105dB is about the same as a yowling two-year-old.

Flying around a track (on bikes in particular) is exhausting. They would quite likely not be able to speed on the main roads after spending a day at a track. It's mentally and physically exhausting going flat out on a track for any amount of time. I've done the GP day at Pallas karting and you're just so worn out by the end of it there's no speeding left in you when you leave.

On a trailer like everyone else.
