Moved to a new area last year and realised how hard it is to find people to ride with when you don't know anyone local. Existing Facebook groups felt…odd and I never found anyone with a similar pace or experience level.

Ended up building an app to scratch my own itch, it matches you with riders based on pace, experience, budget, that kind of thing, so you're not turning up to a group ride and immediately holding everyone up (or getting left behind).

There's also a "Ready to Ride" feature that lets you flag you're heading out, anyone else local with it on gets notified so you can link up spontaneously.

It's free, iOS and Android. Happy to drop the link in the comments if anyone's interested, mainly just want to know if this is actually a problem other people have or if I'm in the minority.

hi all, I've been looking at doing my IBT for the past few weeks but cannot for the life of me get a hold of an instructor in Galway - no one has returned calls/emails and I'm fed up of trying them. Any suggestions for an instructor somewhere around the west of Ireland who can accommodate someone with no gear or previous experience? I'm willing to drive a decent distance if I can get going ASAP. Thanks!

When you put it on the kickstand the fuel flap faces to the left allowing for easy nozzle insertion and a better view on how it sits and if the tank is full.

If the pump is on the right fueling becomes awkward, the fuel hose bends too much, you need to securely hold it in place and you look like those car drivers that fuel on the wrong side.

Seems like none of my friends care :(

Have to spend the day in Lucan tomorrow, but I dont own any lock any tips for making sure i have a bike to come back to?

EDIT: Someone will out the bike in the garden and keep an eye on it thats all u can ask for i guess i will have to bring a few small locks and an airtag

Passed the test this morning and I have already applied for the full license, paid and it is in the printer queue!

Bloody finally!

Hi everyone, my friend's bike was stolen early hours this morning (Friday) at around 4:00 AM. It was taken directly from a yard in the Hansfield / Phibblestown area.

Here are the details:

• Make/Model: Honda CBR 125R
• Registration Number: 171-D-47769
• Last Spotted: It was last seen in the Buzzardstown / Corduff area in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.

If you live in the Hansfield, Phibblestown, Corduff, or Buzzardstown areas, please could you check your Ring doorbells, dashcams, or CCTV from this morning between 3:50 AM and 5:00 AM?

💰 CASH REWARD FOR VALUABLE INFO leading to the recovery of the bike.

If you see it parked up, dumped, or being ridden around, please DM me immediately or contact the Blanchardstown Garda Station. Any help is massively appreciated!

Any mechanics that would do a valve clearance and timing belt on a Ducati 749. I’ve rang a few spots and most raid moto technic but from what I’m seen online it looks like Robbie shut shop?

So any recommendations would be appreciated the closer to Tallaght/rathfarnham the better

Hs anyone here purchased from Bikergear, it’s a new miles north of Longford town.

I may have been over speeding by a “bit”. And saw the speeding van. Applied brakes immediately (i know it doesn’t work that way).
But how much trouble am I looking at?

Also, I moved address but not on my Logbook yet. Was too lazy to do so. How can I check if I have any fines?
