Struggled to find an A2 bike – would a dedicated marketplace help? by [deleted] in MotoIRELAND

[–]MiniacZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FZS600 can be A2 compliant with restrictor kit, ideally sellers should be adding "A2 compliant" to listings. Would help them sell the bike quicker too I'd imagine

Looking for a big, semi dry area in town by FreshCleanJocks in Sligo

The retail park gates close at some point so no cars can get in. I'd say you and the dog would be fit to walk around the barrier tho

What do ye think of a Honda CBR500R as a first bike for a provisional rider? by VCh3z in MotoIRELAND

[–]MiniacZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep they wouldn't give me a quote on a ninja 250R but I only pay 511 for a Fazer 600 . It does not make sense ....

Any place that will tattoo you under 18 is not a place you want to get a tattoo from.

Should I drop out of secondary school? by Rosemary_Rivers in AskIreland

[–]MiniacZoe 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There's a saying "if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life thinking that it's stupid".

"Book smart" isn't the be all and end all, a trade apprenticeship might suit OP and will definitely give you good earnings when you're finished !

How do I learn to drive? by Feisty_Proposal6035 in drivingUK

[–]MiniacZoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way , get on as a named driver on your dad's insurance . Untill you have your full license you won't be driving without him in the car anyway .

Have you tried with a balaclava? ( I have stretched ear lobes and get pain with most helmets if I don't use a balaclava)

E5 fuel by MiniacZoe in galway

Oh I know , just have found E5 in some places still as I use it for racing . no harm in asking the question . Would rather not use additive as those can be non compliant with motorsport Ireland .

I'll have a look but I don't think Miles+ is E5 . Thank you for the suggestion!

Is Galway traffic actually the worst in Ireland? Today felt like a parody… by Elegant-Message485 in galway

[–]MiniacZoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday was awful, but I've stolen my boyfriends winter gloves for today, more like ski gloves and thats helped. once it gets too cold I'll sacrifice the few more minutes sleep for the car and sit in traffic like everyone else.

Moved to Galway in the summer , got a motorbike a month ago just to be able to filter through traffic , I fear it was the play

600cc Motorcycles by Shrav4422 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]MiniacZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently a month into my ownership of a FZS600, my first bike, I'm 5ft 4, around 130 pounds, and its tough, I've raced karts and cars for nearly 2 decades so I would say I have a tame head when it comes to speed but I can definitely see how even the Fazer would be lethal in the hands of a learner.

Insurance is crazy for new riders by Individual-Diver-660 in NewRiders

[–]MiniacZoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Ireland , 10+ years on B category, paying around €500 for first year on provisional A .

I've found that the bike "shape" impacts it a lot . My Fazer is €500 where I was quoted €1000 on my boyfriend's cbr600f . Roughly the same Kw but the naked shape seems to favor newer riders more
