I had you figured a Triumph sort of guy but figured it was to obvious/stereotypical given where you're from.
Haha, yeah, I'm not afraid of that stereotype - the bike is just a part of me, although it's because of the bike itself more than the brand, though undoubtedly Bob Dylan and Steve McQueen (and my dad) played their part as influences. I'm not the most British of UK citizens, while equally I'm not the most Irish of Irish citizens. It gets complicated sometimes. Anyway, it shouldn't really surprise anyone that the Krogan Sentinel is my favourite character. Tanky, reliable, enormous fun and prone to bursts of speed when the blood's up. Not to mention the large booming sounds he's capable of with the right equipment.

Do a bike trip QMR, seriously. You won't regret it. I'm not exactly a yolo-type, but in this instance I'm with Shia all the way. Work is overrated. Go have fun.
Oh yeah, I thought you might appreciate hearing Michael Dunlop's reaction after winning the Senior TT today, on being told that he'd missed out on a 134mph average lap by 0.038 of a second. In a broad, almost impenetrable Northern Irish accent, "Dirty animal. Ye dirty animal. I coulda had it. Coulda just pushed a wee bit more... dirty animal." Mickey D, we salute you.
this thread's a fuckin' likes eater, BTW. Why do y'all have to have such interesting photos?
Ain't that the truth, seriously.
Actually, after all of her recent photos / posts....with her helmet and seeing her face... I am more convinced than ever that she really is Tali.
Russian born, obviously in total control of high end machinery, definitely not just a Getty pic. I'd say that's pretty conclusive. 
Even the astronauts know Ireland has the best scenery
These are both within an hour's ride, in opposite directions.
