CounterShaft – Off-road Adventures and Misadventures

Year: 2016

Paddy Dakar 2016

Posted 29th Sep 201624th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Husky TE300, Local Dirt Spins

Well.. another year, another Paddy Dakar. This year was a bit of a wash out, or maps were wet, the big ‘berg was having fuel pump problems, there was a broken chain on a CRF, just nothing seemed to be going our way .. so […]

Husqvarna TE300

Posted 26th Jul 201624th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives, Gear, Husky TE300

I seen that Philip up at HTM offroad had a low hour used TE300 in. It looked good in the pictures, fresh rebuild w/piston at 55hrs. It was lovely. I had to buy it.  

Redbull Soapbox Race – Cork 2016

Posted 5th Jun 20167th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives

The RedBull events team must’ve had my phone number on file from the last stupid idea, so they called me, and then I spoke to the guys, and then we accepted their silly challenge – to design and construct (and destruct) a gravity powered death-defying […]

Glendalough Enduro

Posted 22nd May 201624th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

Not fully healed from the bad off at White Mountain last month, so it’s a good thing we took it handy in Glendalough. It was a tough course, no doubt, but being complete pussies, we managed to stop for snacks and photos every now and […]

White Mountain Enduro

Posted 26th Apr 201624th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

I had a bad off on the first timed section and landed hard on my right shoulder. Managed to get back on the bike and complete the lap, but couldn’t ride at any real pace, was just limping back to park ferme to return my […]

Cleaning and Oiling your Air Filter

Posted 12th Apr 201616th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Ok, you’ve probably heard it before, but keeping your Air Filter clean and oiledΒ is massively important. It’s the one part, that neglected or used incorrectly, will have a huge impact on cylinder wear. We ride dirt bikes, in the dirt. There’s dust and mud and […]

Oil & Filter changes

Posted 12th Apr 201616th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Maintenance

Changing your oil and filters regularly is important if you want to keep your bike in top condition. It’s a simple process that everyone should easily be able to do themselves, but there are a few things to note on any bike before you start. […]

Rome & Copenhagen 2016

Posted 20th Feb 201614th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Travel

A few days in Rome followed by a few more days in Copenhagen. Was interesting to try out, but if we’re squeezing two destinations into the one holiday in future, I think we need an extra couple of days. It was fairly hectic. A lot […]

Honda Cub Project

Posted 2nd Feb 20167th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives, Maintenance

Stripped down to the bare metal and a ground up rebuild for this 20 year old Honda Cub 90. Every nut and bolt.
