I went from passing my test on a Honda MTX80 Trial Bike straight on to a CBR900RR Fireblade back in 1993. Road it for 2 years without binning it and then sold it to buy a house with Wifey No' 1 Didn't ride another Bike right up until March 2013 when I bought another new Blade. 12 months later and numerous Track Days on a ZX10R it's all still 'Shinny side up'! (Kiss of Death that now!)
Oosh, that's a bit of a ballache, what will you do, arrange a bunch of viewings in a day and fly over?
Yea and expensive flight , boat, fuel etc . . The plan is try and track down a bike go over collect it and ride it home . Not a great plan i know
Got to be done though unfortunately. I was finding the majority of bikes for sale on eBay, mcn and biketrader. All the others (preloved, gumtree and swapz) were only getting the odd one. Can I suggest if you find one that you get a deposit down really quick as it seemed every time I phoned about one it was sale agreed. In the end I put a £50 deposit and figured if it's not what I want when I see it, then I'll only lose £50, I'd rather that than keep missing out and be without a bike for weeks. Andy B
If you come up my way ill buy your blade and sure you can go 2 up on the way home . . oh and i will make you a cup of tea to sweeten the deal
Thanks for the tip Andy . . I did see on ebay anything at a good price was gone as soon as it went up . .

Wednesday 14 May ferry from Holyhead (10.30am) to Dun Laoghaire (12.45pm). First night in Galway at the Jury's Inn on Quay Street. From there we will ride down the west coast to Kilrush, over the estuary on the Tarbet ferry and then on to Killarney and then east to Cork for our second night staying at the usual Jury's in on Anderson's Quay. The third night we are booked into a hotel in Waterford called the Fitzwilton on Bridge street. From here we're heading to Dublin for our last night, and I'm hoping that as it's not far from Waterford we can get there at lunchtime(ish) and maybe have a mooch around the Guinness brewery before the evening shenanigans begin, The ferry back on Sunday departs from Dun Laoghaire at a hangover friendly 1.30pm and we get into Holyhead at 3.45pm.
