It's a lemon

I finally got my bike into a shop and got it seen to. There was good an d bad news. The got it started again. It was the processor. The bad news was everything else was wrong with the bike. The exhaust, the brakes, the lights... No need to go on!

I'll be getting my money back (I hope!)

More bike woes

I push started the bike as the battery wouldn't charge. I went into town and had to push start again. And then the power just went! I was stuck for a couple of hours waiting to be recovered (and my insurance company had no record of me).

€108.50 to be recovered and now I need a new battery and I think the clutch might be gone...

od dear god, what have I done.

Bike woes

I hopped on the bike to head out (to my mothers to decorate) and she wouldn't turn over, the battery seemed as dead as a doornail.

So my neighbour Peter the biker, gave me a loan of his battery charger so I am charging the battery hoping that sorts things out!!!

More bike troubles

Well I cycled into work today which is between 9 and 11 miles each way. It was so so tough but I will be doing it again tomorrow.

My motorbike is still having problems. I got a socket set and changed the oil and oil filter (so what if i spilled all over the side lane). I went out for a ride tonight and it was going great but then i was accelerating in third and it felt like it was going to cut out...

Dodgy petrol? Who knows! Time for a service.

Bike Troubles

Well my friend Bren showed me how to tighten my chain today so we sorted that and I need to pump up the tyres.

I was on my way home and the bike wouldn't go over 25 MPH and was threatening to cut out too. I want to change the oil and filters but i've not been able to loosen the nut to let the oil out.

Yikes!

Bike Woes

I decided to take the bike into work today. It is a cold foggy morning in Dublin. I tried to start her up and it took about 5 minutes to get her to turn over. I thought it was just the cold.

Then I got on the road and after about a kilometre the bike started to judder and then came to a halt. It took about 5 minutes to ger her started again to bring her home and she cut out again.

I hope I was low on fuel or it was too cold otherwise I will not be happy.
