KTM 500 EXC-F

Posted 16th Nov 20197th Jun 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives, Gear, KTM 500 EXC

I very nearly bought a brand new KTM 500 EXC-F just a couple of months ago. The deal was all but done, but it wasn’t to be in the end and it all fell apart. The story is long and boring, having no offroad KTM […]

Beta xTrainer 300

Posted 3rd Aug 201724th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives, Beta xTrainer, Gear

After years of loyal service, the past twelve months saw the CRF250X being used as a ‘spare bike’ in the event that the Husky had an issue. More often than not it was used by another rider in our group who’s bike was out of […]

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

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.

Nifty Fifty Racing

Posted 25th Feb 201324th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives

We’ve been gowling around this nifty fifty racing the past while, so it’s only right to put up a short video of our antics. This is me, starting the race and going well for the first two laps till the inevitable happens. I mean, it […]

Army Life

Posted 30th Sep 201024th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Archives

In 1996, at the tender young age of 18, I went off and joined the Army. Why? I’m not really sure. I wasn’t sure then. I’m not sure now, but it seemed like an ok idea at the time. My 14 years in the Irish […]
