Paddy Dakar 2017

Posted 1st Oct 201724th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Husky TE300, Local Dirt Spins

We had a core group of 6 riders, but our group increased as the day went on, as it does. We picked up a couple of neighbours from the campsite just before the night stage, and then three more classic smokers joined us on Saturday […]

April Nav Trails

Posted 14th Apr 201724th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Husky TE300, Local Dirt Spins

The April edition of the Long Distance Navigation Trials series saw our team of dedicated adventurers go into follow-the-leader mode. Not surprisingly we still managed to find ourselves split from the main group and down some slippery wet mud trail .. fun times :o)  

Super Snow Day!

Posted 29th Mar 201724th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Husky TE300, Local Dirt Spins

A few of us came down to Cork today in the hopes of a nice trail ride around a well known enduro circuit. We weren’t fully prepared for the snow though, and there were smiles all around as we got ourselves completely engrossed in the […]

Three Men and a Honda 50

So the Husaberg has a fuel pump issue and won’t start. But fear not!! Murph, our fearless handyman has a plan B. The off-road capable, always ready, Honda Cub 90.

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 […]

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 […]

Paddy Dakar 2015

Posted 1st Oct 201524th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

So, after busting my wheel bearings recently, it looked like I wasn’t going to make it to this years Paddy Dakar. But then. At the last minute. . a rear wheel belonging to a CRF250R became available. Ok, so its a 19″ instead of 18″ […]

East Clare Dirt Biking

Posted 27th Nov 201424th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

Found some nice trails. And some nice bogland. Nice soft bogland. With holes. Big holes that could swallow a bike. Was fun dragging her out.. you know one of the best qualities of a dirtbike in a boghole is the way the back tyre digs […]

Paddy Dakar 2014

Posted 30th Sep 201424th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Bike Trips, Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

On Friday afternoon a bunch of the guys and I headed towards Doon in Co.Limerick for the Paddy Dakar. Gazebos were raised, BBQs were lit, tyres were kicked, burgers devoured, and one or two beverages may have been consumed. It was a grand old weekend. […]

Helmet mounted selfie cam

Posted 10th Sep 201424th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Camera, Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

I mounted a GoPro Hero3+ onto a rear facing snake-arm that attached to the peak of my helmet for some reverse view photographic experimentation. Shot in PES mode, and captured a still image every few seconds or so until I got bored and went home […]

Exploring Co. Clare

Posted 23rd Apr 201424th Jan 2020 TonyLeave a commentPosted in Honda CRF250X, Local Dirt Spins

Out exploring the hills and trails around Co.Clare on the CRF250X. Found some new trails, some lakes, took some pictures, had a blast!
