Anyone doing the Insurance Demonstration on 15th APR

[dclifford]

I got an Email from MAG detailing a Demonstration on Friday the 15th.

Details:
Tired of excessive, unjustified motorcycle insurance quotes? Then do
something about it! Take the afternoon of Friday the 15th of April
next off work and come join other motorcyclists at MAG's National
Motorcycle Insurance Demonstration. The Demo will assemble at Wilton
Place on the Grand Canal, Dublin at 2.00pm on the afternoon of Friday
the 15th of April next and will call to the offices of Hibernian,
Carol Nash, Aon and the Ministry of Transport. We want to make the
voices (and exhausts!) of motorcyclists heard by the officals of these
organisations in one loud protest to show we are NOT happy with the
current state of affairs.

I'd be on for doing this - esp if it might make any difference to insurance premiums here. :evil:

Whereabouts is Wilton Place? Or should I just follow the canal towards the noise of aftermarket cans? :shock:

[dclifford]

I had a quick look on a map on the net. I think it is near where Leeson street meets the canal. I can check my map at home later.

Im fairly sure ill be attending....have the day off anyway so may as well spend it fighting capitalism!

Ye want to meet up beforehand and go as a group ?

[Skidlid]

Alright lads, been a while since I was on here, theres a load of lads from another forum www.cbr250.com meeting at the Shell garage at Donnybrook at 1.30 tomorrow afternoon, then heading up to the demo, head along, if you's are lookin for somewhere to meet up.

I went along to the demo, there was what I thought to be a good turnout, there was some really nice bikes there too, hopefully it makes a difference :D

[jamesobrady]

Was good fun wasnt it?

[irl_dar]

LOL!!
btw did you hear OWEN on his black curvy sv backfiring..haha
all the people on the streets jumping!
i was in tears laughin!

[dclifford]

I guess I should have introduced myself. That was me that was on the blue SV. I was behind the SV making all the noise(Backfire). And I thought I didn't need my earplugs because we would be driving slow around town.

[irl_dar]

hahaha i was beside you for most of it!
hahah it was so funny seeing all the people nearly jump outta there skin when he backfired it..lol

[dclifford]

The way the faces of the old people at the bus stops changed.

[dclifford]

I see that you noticed the bent reg plate. This was to stop the spray coming up from the back wheel and onto the back lights. It did have a plastic lid from a curry tray on it before(like a mud flap sticking out). I have since replaced that with piece of black plastic.

[irl_dar]

hahah nice one :lol:

[jamesobrady]

So D was it you I was talking to about the fairings? You were parked up a bike to my right before the start?

I didnt know it was an Sv that was doing the backfiring! LOL..was that intentional or just a bad dynojet job?

[irl_dar]

haha Yeah it was an old shape black sv,
it was totally intentional,
Rev up hit the kill switch put kill switch back on bad BANG..scares the **** outta people :D
