    I would suggest the snip, but too late really!

    You may suggest it : I can highly recommend it ;)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Has anyone used a suction pump to change the oil on a bike, I've used one on a car with good results?

    Bikes generally don't have direct access to the sump like cars, some do but a lot are dry sump engines which hold their oil in a separate tank.
    Access on most bikes is not hard like crawling under a car and undoing a plastic cover before you even get to the sump bolt.
    What bike do you have that you are thinking of using a suction pump on?

    Bought muffs a few months ago, but never got around to fitting them and then bought winter gloves. Muffs are brand new, might be handy for someone.

    Yeah just over 2 years ago. One of only 2 of that model in that colour in Cork. It’s a beauty and gets admiration nearly everywhere I go. I ended up with it as I was on a learner permit and my options for insurance were limited due to being on a learner permit. I must’ve spent €3-4K just on the extras, the receipts are there. The last photo was the day I got it, you can see the work I put into it.

    Any idea how she is with a pillion? I've been tempted for one of these for a while....

    Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Have mine 5 years bringing herself around pillion. I think backbox is a must for support. Put a backrest on my givi backbox and she thinks it's great

    I'll have to see how much trouble I'll get in for bringing another bike into the shed....I don't think she'll believe the bike fairy story again 😂

    I’ve never had a pillion on any of the current bikes, but listermint is on the button where these are concerned. The ‘watching’ and ‘views’ on the ad have rocketed since I posted it here. If it doesn’t sell I’ll not be disappointed but based on the list the wife gave me yesterday of the requirements for the kids it looks like they’ll be funded by the Strom being sold, I have a deal agreed on principle with a dealer to trade it for a GPZ and cash my way for it, I’ll get a classic/vintage bike, the wife will get a cash injection for the family so she’ll shut up and let me alone, and we’ll I’ll just plan long term bikes. A S1000RR & GL1800 are on my list of bikes to get. I’ll get divorced before I part with the busa, sane dealer told me keep my blade. I’ve no doubt the Strom will be a classic one day, but mine won’t be for 20 years.

    You can't clean with ACF50 . Its oil based.

    There’s a guy in Greenhills does a great deep clean on bikes so I’ve been getting him to do it since I bought the bike so I probably won’t use it.
