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…

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…

Dead Dragons & Broken Monkies
Much to my disappointment my experience of Kubuntu was sort lived and rather painful. Everything had gone very well up until the updates had finished downloading.
