I run a motorbike dealers here in Ireland. Been working here for over 20 years and took it over with my brother in 2001 and haven't looked back since. Doing sales servicing and parts on all japenese bikes. Sure it a job I love and would never do a job I hated so being a bike addict it suits me down to the ground.
Well I live in north Wicklow just off the border to Dublin and I have the wicklow mountains at my doorstep. And most of them are good and well used by bikes on a Sunday morning. Sure have a look at the Wicklow gap road on google maps it's like a race track on a Sunday morn.
Yeah, fair crack. Pressure is relative. Mrs Ken is a regional bank manager and I am just a lowly printer by comparison. I try not to do the 'my day was worse than yours' thing but it's difficult when you spend your day with adults the mental age of a 5 year old, all thinking their problems are the very first encountered in the history of the human race because they are 'artists' and nobody can possibly understand the pressure they are under. If the only people you had to speak to all day were architects, rather than the builders, groundworkers, etc. you'd get why I drink like I do. But then again I'm pissed at the moment so I'm talking bollocks anyway. What do I do for a living? I print exhibitions for artists and photographers who, more often than not, don't have the faintest idea how their stuff gets from their head onto the wall but believe that it happens by magic and thereby believe that it's all down to their inspiration and talent.
thats Interesting Kpone being a photographer who you worked with got any jobs going Speedy I could move haha
I'm an Engineering supervisor for a local company in Fife, regularly get subbed out to 2 oil based firms in Aberdeenshire which means i'm often offshore or abroad, nothing glam about spending weeks/months away from home but it pays the bills and i can indulge in many toys and hobbies
No its definitely me, i checked, hang on, let me check again... nope, still me looks like we'll be able to have a good chat about the scary moments as well as bikes when we finally meet haha I've got a cracking test story, never been beaten to my knowledge
Agh I know who to ask for info. I've always wanted to try and go to gun range just to fire a few guns. Something on my list of things I've alway wanted to do. Was hoping when I'm in the US next year to see if I'm allowed to be shown how to use guns correctly then have a few shots off of various guns. Not looked into it yet. But would u know is there any chance in hell I may get a chance
Go to malaysia mate .. On my brother gap year , traveling around the world he called in a shooting range . 5 bucks to throw a grenade , 20 bucks to take out a chicken with an AK47 . He was offered for a 100 bucks to shoot a cow with an RPG.. Honest to god, They where crazy out there .He said the guy got out a RPG and said " 100 bucks , you shoot cow" My brother replied " what do you mean shoot a cow ? ". The guy said " Cow ...... CABOOM " ha ha . They turned it down As long as you where paying you could do what you want lol
Think you would be in with a good shout in the states mate, depending which part you go. I know there are some places you can just role up, pay an entry fee and shoot whatever you want from their stock
