Beannacht Dia from Galway

thats God Bless from Galway....I hope I'm allowed to join being in Ireland, but I cant get any parts here easily, I bought my Monster in London, but since bring it back I've realised that I need a good mail order shop.
Are there any other Irish owners on here? Have you used any reliable people.

slan leat (good bye)

useless info but - derry is geographically in ireland and postalogically (new word) in the uk so i've no probs. most g.b. suppliers send to the republic although it's a bit more expensive.

Hi, welcome to the club!


Not sure if there's anyone else in your "Eirea" (sorry bad joke, I'll get me coat as soon as I finish typing this!), if not - let's hope you're the first of many




The "wanted" section is great if you're looking for something in particular.



Have fun!

Hi and welcome. There are members from several countries so why not another irishman? Don't know about irish mailorders but the one of choice here is usually spareshack.

Go raibh maith agat....maybe?

That means "thank you".
But a few small points, I feel it is germaine to point out that I do not live in:

1.Eire - although this was foisted into our constitution by a British government civil servant, we dont like it. NOT AT ALL!
If it's to be a version in Gaelige (Irish) the Eireann is the accepted version.
If it is to be in an English version the Republic of Ireland is OK, as is ROI, but we actually live in Ireland.....and most certainly not:

(2) SOUTHERN Ireland. Southern Ireland is Cork and Waterford.

Ireland....simple and straight forward. ROI and Republic of Ireland is OK too.

I'm hoping that the pseudo ignorance that says that Ireland is in the UK is a joke, albeit a poor one?

References to the "black stuff"...despite the fact that most British people seemed to be obsessed with the fact that we spend all our time in pubs with bodhrans and tin whistles supping Guiness and playing diddley diddley music, it's slightly wide of the mark. We have electricity, we don't all drink constantly, and some of us including myself dont drink at all, after coming from a large family with a violent drinking father the "black stuff" means nothing to me, but whatever floats your curragh (look it up )

Right, well thats my bit of Carnegie out the way and hopefully I havent hurt too many peoples feelings as judging from some of the other threads in here there are a few people with issues in this club.
I'm quite mercenary and would like to use the forum for purely mercenary purposes...DUCATI stuff.

Leading onto thanks for the suggestions for parts and stuff. I have dealt with Spareshack when I lived in Hounslow and found them average to unhelpful. The guy there seemed to be more worried about selling me stuff he didnt want rather than stuff I did want. While in London strangely enough my best experience was dealing with Ducati Glasgow, who seemed helpful and friendly....Celts you see I've also been told by a few others that Superlight on Ebay is quite good, but I'm also interested in highly qualified and experienced technicians who use knowledge and expertise to squeeze more from their bikes without spending large wedges of Euros...(ooops sorry shillings and tanners you use dont you?) I've noticed that theres a lot of people on here proffering advice that seems to have no more basis than being hearsay or anecdotal, so maybe someone can point out the highly qualified forum posters, if there are any?


Now....how're ya doin fella from Derry? Eyre Square ya say? ground zero? when was that and to what are you referring, is it the Bi-Trillenium fountain works you saw or something? The Square is usually being messed around with on some side or other be it paving or landscaping or general buggering round with the surrounding roads and filters, to me its got worse with all the hard landscaping, I'd sooner have seen more shrubbery and botanicals there, we are a green and pleasant land after all, but maybe we have too much fascination with concrete. I have mixed feeling in general about how Galway has been regenerated, in particular the docks area, but thats a a different story. To me as a youth Eyre Sq. was always the place myself and my girlfriend would head after the church disco, to find her waster of a brother whod be unconscoius by the toilet block and we'd swipe his fags. Apart from that, like most locals Eyre Sq is something that you need to get round in order to travel from one corner to the other.

Right, well enough of this taking up of your time and thanks to those who proffered information and to the rest ....well God Bless, and as an aside to all those with Irish mammies, my mammy is half French and half German.

Welcome aboard ya auld Culshie.

My missus is a Dub and one of my many sister-in-laws moved out from Dublin to Co. Roscommon a few years ago. She lives fairly close to the border with Galway so we usually take a trip to your neck of the woods and down to the Cliffs of Moher when we're over.

There was talk here a year or two back about the possibility of a UKMOC tour of Ireland. How big's your house?
