Courses for winter evenings

Does anyone know of a night course that does small engine maintenance or repair, looking to get a bit of knowledge and hopefully put some life back into a Honda 750, it's either cylinder crack or blown gaskets but at the moment outside of my technical knowledge of what to do. Rather than paying a few quid to get it fixed I'd like to learn myself how, and then pay a guy when I'm well and truly out of my depth.

Killdare, Laois, Offaly Dublin area would suit best.

UK auction

I'm sorry but sometimes good things need to be shared.

Hopefully someone is lucky and gets a good bike at a good price. Even moreso if a member of our community wins something.

Keep us informed.

Busses in high temperature weather

Quick one for the collective, what are the rules or more importantly the additional safety aspects that Bus drivers and Bus companies should be doing if temperatures get unusually hot for your area.

Background Irish Bus driver, our temperature normally doesn't get higher than low 20's degrees C. (Less than 73f) And a similar bus driver problem world wide, can't drink too much because lack of toilet facilities. AC doesn't really exist in most of the buses for cab area. No known guidelines from company or national transport because high temperature isn't common in Ireland.

So any guidance would be appreciated.

Maybe you’re a just an effin’ nerd

Hotel getting breakfast. Next table over a group of travelling co-workers talking.

Dude is going deep on how radio waves interact with the ionosphere and history of tech all without taking a breath.

His coworker (distractingly attractive, female about his age) is dialled all the way into it but he doesn’t notice.

He then shyly catches himself and says “sorry I just like that kind of stuff”.

She leans in with what looks like genuine interest, smiles and says, “maybe you’re just an effin’ nerd”.

He totally missed the cue.

Gonna pray for him, because she looks like she was ready to have his kids…

Rosslare Hotel

Below was sent via the work motorbike Whatsapp group from the Paddy Dakar Whatsapp group - not my bike but another member of the Irish community heading to ABR. Any sightings please get footage, location direction etc give Garda heads up and there are plenty of FB club pages that might be in a position to assist.

​

So lads - heads up on bike security.

Had my bike stolen last night outside hotel in Rosslare before ferry to ABR. Mine Tommys and Justas’s bike tied together with wire lock. I’ve no tracker or alarm. Hotel and Gardai said very rare occurrence here. My room was nearest bike on ground floor - 5m away and window open. Heard nothing. No CCTV. If ye are in any other groups will ye share this in case it turns up. 232 MH93

Lessons

- wire lock not much use even linked

- ⁠alarm important

- ⁠tracker if it notifies when bike moves

I’d say a ULock which difficult to saw be best.

Wishing the very worst luck on the cunts that did this.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Tragic teen motorcyclist killed in Wexford crash named: 'Gone long before his time'

The victim, who has been named locally as Adam Kennedy, died after a collision with a car took place on the R742 in Ballinvunnia in Kilmuckridge shortly before 3:30pm on Tuesday.

Tributes have poured in for a teenage motorcyclist killed in a horror collision in Wexford.

The victim, who has been named locally as Adam Kennedy, died after a collision with a car took place on the R742 in Ballinvunnia in Kilmuckridge shortly before 3:30pm on Tuesday. He was initially rushed to Beaumont Hospital in north Dublin but was pronounced dead in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The 19-year-old was part of the Notorious Motorcycle Club which is based in Wexford. In a heartbreaking tribute, they said: "It is with a heavy heart that we are sharing the news that we have lost our brother Adam.

"A young man with such a bright future ahead gone long before his time. Adam will be a massive loss to all of us. You will be dearly missed brother. Until we meet again in the forever chapter."

A pal wrote: "So many good memories growing up with ya pal that wont be forgotten." Another added: "Sending love and support to the family and friends of Adam."

Garda Forensic Collision Investigators conducted an examination of the scene and the road has since reopened. Gardai are appealing to anyone who witnessed this collision to come forward.

In a statement, they said: "Road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and were travelling on the R742 Ballinvunnia, Kilmuckridge, Co. Wexford between 3:00pm and 3:30pm on Tuesday 26th May 2026, are asked to make this available to investigating Gardaí. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Gorey Garda Station on (053) 942 1222, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station."
