Seeing as you lot love bike pics so much,my third rideout of 2013 so far It looks promising. Anyway no chicken strip jokes please, I am glad to report by the time i got home the roads had dried and tyres were suitably worn.
Oh thats hilarious, never noticed. Must have gained something in the translation from Gaelic Or else they are just lexdixic
you're a brave man hitting the roads round kerry this time of year. thats my favourite biking area.how long have you had that blade as I swear I seen it at skerries during the 2011 races...that shamrock decal.
P..................leeeeease, brave maybe , man not, woman definitely unless something weird is going on . The roads were pretty shitty all right , but it felt like spring today. I have shamrock decals on all my bikes and have for years and years, kind of mascot. I bought it a few months ago and first thing I did was put them on. Maybe the bike was in Skerries with a previous owner, dunno
I think the shamrock looks great. It's nice to see a bit of pride in national symbolism. Unfortunately, If I was to place the cross of St George anywhere on my bike, I'd instantly be regarded as a fascist, or worse, a football fan. Perhaps (he stole himself against accusations of racial stereotyping) the sign writer just spelt it phonetically, as he heard it in his head.
Great photos and the bike looks fab.i was lulled into a false sense of the roads being wet around here which they where but when I nipped into Warrington this afternoon they where dry and about 10deg but just local to me they had retained the wet look Bugger!.
Yeah I'm of out tomorrow for a run. The roads look good but the run off in the lanes is still like streams.
Thanks . Halfway up the Connor Pass on the Dingle Penninsula in Kerry. There are some great roads around here and superb sceneryalthough it gets a bit touristy in the summer
I know mate, I know. But you don't feel the need to go through life apologising to the rest of the world for history like the current generation of English do. Our problem was we never had a revolution. We had a civil war once. I wouldn't insult an Irishman by reminding him how that worked out. Then after a decade we even apologised to the monarchy and let them come back FFS. My brother and I had these Tee shirts once. On the front it said 'British by Birth' and on the back it said 'English by the Grace of God'. It was a semi serious laugh but they got so many people's arse's in their hands we stopped wearing them. Every Scot, Welshman, Irishman, christ even the Cornish on here is proud to be just what they are and rightly so but if I put 'English' next to 'Nationality' on any official form it get's sent back to me to redo.
Our version of that around here is Irish by Birth, Munster by the Grace of God, but then again, we are rugby mad around here.
