  • It Came & Went

    Well, it is unlike me to forget anniversaries but I forgot this one…a whole year of keeping a web log has come and gone! February 27th to be exact. My little experiment started over on Yahoo but I swapped over to blogger because it gave me a bit more freedom in layout and features. Since…

  • Still Going Forward

    5000 miles and service number 2 completed. How is Karma fairing? Not a problem is the answer! Nothing wrong, everything is as it should be and just keep doing what I have been doing…which has been just enjoying the bike. To put into perspective, in 4200 miles I have not have to top up the…

  • Baglux Review

    After a few weeks with the Baglux Tank-Protector and Minea Bag I thought it is about time to give a review of how I have found it. The procedure for putting it on is pretty straight forward but I would like to see much more specialised instructions put on the Baglux website (much like what…

  • Lisbon Treaty – Coronation?

    Last week we had Joe Higgins and Joe Costello attend DCU to give a chat on the Lisbon Treaty due to the upcoming referendum here in Ireland. I refer to it as a chat because the substance was lacking. At no time would one have been fooled into calling this a debate. I have spoken…

  • Mr Scruff in the Button Factory

    I survived the weekend…and what a weekend it was! Without a doubt Mr Scruff (CLICK HERE) is the best there is at what he does. As soon as I walked into the Button Factory at 11.30pm he was on stage. After plucking up some courage I approached and he was happy to have a chat…

  • DCU Model United Nations

    Other then my unnatural love affair with motorcycles (If only that was the worst of it…) I also have a few other things that keep me entertained. Not that studying for a Degree In International Relations is eventful enough I am also a committee member of the Dublin City University Model United Nations (DCU MUN).…

  • Shooting The Breeze

    My MRA Vario Touring Screen arrived, very appropriately, on Thursday morning as a valentines day gift for the other lady in my life! So that evening in a dimly lit garage and some appropriate music I got her top off and on with the bigger, better and more adaptable screen. And what a screen it…

  • Dressing Up Karma

    I finally decided on a screen for Karma (my Kawasaki ER-6F). This being the MRA Vario Touring screen. Initially I was going to order locally but some reviews put me off so placed my order through BikeHPS. This was quick and painless via their website. They also warned it may take 3 weeks to deliver…
