Heading from Dublin to Wales for Friday's trackday at the new Anglesey circuit, any chance there might be another Buell there? Anyone know what the circuit is like, I've ridden the old circuit but I hear the new one is good? |

OK so none of you guys ever heard of Anglesey or probably Wales either! For your information Anglesey is a wonderful new circuit located on the Isle of Anglesey just off the North West corner of Wales and 100 minutes from Dublin ( Ireland - not Georgia!!) by ferry. The track is wonderfully technical with sweeping bends, changing levels and a beautiful surface - the Laguna Seca of the UK. I know this as I was told about it by other riders at Anglesey as we watched as the circuit and paddock disappeared beneath 75mm of rain which fell in about two hours causing the track day to be abandoned and me to return forlorn to Dublin (still in Ireland) only to discover that my front wheel bearing had disintegrated to the point of almost collapse on the short ride from the circuit back to the ferry....so this story has a happy ending after all. |

Were the wheel bearings black or orange? They're supposed to be orange! If your rear wheel bearing is black, make sure to replace them too! There was a recall (voluntary) on the bearings in 03. Oh, and don't forget about Dublin Ohio! Your Dublin is not Dublin though, it is Baile Atha Cliath. My nephew lives in Corcaigh. Sorry you missed your tack day! Cheers Asbjorn |

Your Dublin is not Dublin though, it is Baile Atha Cliath. My nephew lives in Corcaigh. Sorry you missed your tack day! WOW Irish on the BADWEB, I'm impressed. The bearings are orange, and to make matters worse, this will be the fourth set I've had (including the black duds) I only use the bike on the track so I'm wondering if that has something to do with this recurring problem? I'm going to fit 'em myself this time and see if that helps. Tiocfaidh ar la. |
