Met the same checkpoint twice yesterday in Ringsend, once on the way to work (essential) and then coming back. Waved through each time, but the first chap stopped the hooligan in front of me on a moped.

Ye, I haven't been stopped at a checkpoint while on the bike yet. Not sure why but they wave me on everytime. I get stopped in the car of course.

I was asked about the nct being out of date, to which I agreed it was because the minister for transport delayed it and he wanted proof there too.

Yeah he was being an arse there all right.
Thousands of people have had their NCT's cancelled recently.

There were questions above and beyond "where are you going". When I told him where he thought it was closed. I explained it wasn't and he then asked about the letter. When I showed him that I was asked about the nct being out of date, to which I agreed it was because the minister for transport delayed it and he wanted proof there too.
In isolation all fair requests but if perhaps I was parked on the santry overpass taking a shot of my van blocking the path with the rozzers checking traffic on the M1 in the background things migh not have went so well.

Mark a point off looking at his number...if he asks ,tell him you're going to make a complaint....if you're essential then he should get a slap for it...plenty out there flouting the regulations..;)

Ahh I'd say he wasnt the only one being a bit cunty, was tired and not in the mood for another inquisition from the five o. If I'd have flashed a grin and given him the ah sure jaysis yer doin a great job and is isn't the world gone mad I'd have gotten waved on.

Anyone about tmrw for a spin? Nothing planned as of yet, I’m north Kildare so not pushed about where we go, I’d bow to the more knowledgeable members here if any suggestions

Jimmy Bottlehead · 01-05-2021 7:13pm

Not tomorrow man, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, hoping to get out a decent bit once May is done

lennymc · 01-05-2021 7:32pm

would love a good oul spin once the intercounty stuff is allowed. Would be good to put faces to names, and catch up with those of you i know from before.

D3V!L · 01-05-2021 8:11pm

I'd be up for a spin once the county restrictions are lifted.

I'm kildare based too but not out tomorrow, not that it makes a difference as the inter County travel will be back soon.

Maybe we'll do a long over due boards meet this year. Been a long time since the last one. I'll have to get the permission slip signed but I'll be chomping at the bit to get out for a proper blast after May 10th.

Skill Magill · 02-05-2021 10:50am

Think we need to incentivise this thread a little. I'm going to look for a good burger for lunch, thinking Skerries, Enniskerry, Leixlip maybe Lara.
Probably Skerries and then Ice cream in Donabate or Balbriggan, depending on whether ice cream shops are open.

You still redlining that Bandit Skill???

Skill Magill · 02-05-2021 3:53pm

Never had a Bandit wonda, good to see you havent changed over the years though, the mear hint of burgers or ice cream and you're all over it

Thats what I mean by incentive though, anybody want to grab a burger/coffee/icecream in x place sounds enticing especially for those of us who, how shall I put this delicately, don't give a fúck about our figures. :pac::pac:

The way I figure it, I spend a good bit of my free time hiking. That means I should be able to spend some of the rest of my free time driving around looking for good ice cream, burgers and coffee.
