It's been a long time since I posted on my socials, be assured though that there has been a lot going on behind the scenes! Don't be mistaken I'm still tipping away, the bikes are always coming and going!

A few longer term recommissioning projects, small restorations and several time consuming projects of my own have kept me very busy, always finding time though to fit the regular servicing and maintenance in as well as focusing on sales, there's been a good few sold over the past few months and more due up soon!

This latest one goes to show the lack of before and afters I'm getting nowadays, a light restoration on this future classic, 2001 Honda CR125 2 stroke. I don't usually work on motocross but restoration work of old 2 strokes always peaks my interest!

Stay tuned for more updates as the winter season creeps in I'll have more time to be posting again 😎

Stay safe as always everyone!

Haven't posted in months due to how busy I've been but I had to post this one.

The canadian gentleman that owns this particular machine has travelled hundreds of thousands of kilometres all over the globe, on this trip he tackled most of mainland Europe and one of his last stops before finally ending his journey in Spain on a personal quest that had a lot of meaning, was taking a look at our beautiful emerald isle.

Having had no problems on his long adventures around the world, 1 hour.... a mere 60 minutes of landing in Ireland, a bunch of Dublins finest decided they wanted his bike as it was parked outside his hotel on O'Connell street. They smashed his disc lock and front brake disc clean off it, destroyed his ignition, front wheel, steering lock and top yoke and left him stranded. I got the call on Sunday evening and was told he needed the bike back on the road for his Ferry to Spain on Thursday morning.

By the grace of God (and the help of the lads in city spares for a few parts 😉) I managed to get this rider back on the road, bike safe and with a few emergency repairs, I even got the bike back to him a day early. Enough that he got a chance to experience our beautiful countryside before he left for greener pastures.

Despite his experience, he said the good people of ireland that helped him out and showed kindness towards him, made up for the bad. I'll always try my very best to help anyone in need, from far and wide. And only delighted to see this man one step closer to completing his journey 😎 all is well that ends well.

Lads never realise the nightmare of wiring custom electronics, this one was no exception! A Bandit 1200 with an upside down front end came in for a Daytona Digital Speedometer to be wired in and this may look like a simple step by step but is really a summary of nearly 8 hours of work deciphering wiring diagrams and making a loom!

Worked out a treat, also made a custom mount from a GPS mounting bracket, mounted the new headlight and mounts and out the door she goes!

Been a while since I've had the time to post, been busier than expected the past 2 months and haven't had a minute to drum up a post of anything, but starting to quieten down a bit thank god!

Always nice to leave a bike in better nick where it isn't even seen before it leaves the workshop, had this Yamaha Tenere 700 in the other day for its first major service, filters, fluids, plugs and all the usuals. These bikes are a fantastic machine through and through, so much so that I own one myself. This baby was all finished up and back to the owner within a day and onto the next one!

Anyone needing service work, repairs or maintenance done, don't hesitate to give me a shout! And stay safe everyone this season!

Anyone in the market for a gorgeous GSXR 600, this is the one! Just recently valeted by myself for the customer. Get onto him if interested!

Suzuki GSXR600. Beautiful bike with low mileage. Really nice and clean bike. Runs perfect and has always been well looked after. Full service history fr...

A nice little job in the other day to fill in the gaps in the week! This Akrapovic carbon can on an MT07 needed a bit of love after a bit of a mishap!

End can was removed, end cap drilled and replaced and re-riveted with a full kit from Akrapovic. Gotta love a tidy job like this one 😎 one of many in and out this week!

Always here to help out whenever I can

Gotten out of the habit of posting the actual repair and maintenance jobs (that often take up the majority of the week) all you lot get to see is the shiny stuff!

But some examples of the work done over the past few weeks, from repairing wiring on several attempted theft and stolen recovered machines, full inspections and in depth services and repairs, fork seals, carb cleans, steering bearings, custom bike fabrication, you name it!

Coming closer towards riding season, so if in doubt, get them checked out lads 😎👍

Always love an aul 90's gem in the workshop! Thanks very much Stephen for trusting 2DeeMax with your beautiful Honda CBR600F3!

Came in for a service and a checkover, in and out within a few days with new brakes overhauled front and rear, fresh fluids, fully serviced, charging system inspected, rectifier and battery replaced as well as a complimentary quick valet just to say thanks 😎

Ready for the season ahead!

Feast your eyes on one of the golden era legends!

Had this baby in for the past week for a strip down and full valet inside and out! 1996 Suzuki RGV250, and probably one of the nicest ones I've ever seen now that it's all cleaned up.

The owner of this bike was so particular that he wanted everything cleaned down to the nitty gritty hidden parts because as we say, the devil is in the detail! So we left no stone unturned, every last part of the bike got brought back to as close to new as possible. Unfortunately I didn't get any before pictures due to the weather when it arrived but alas, its the end result that counts!

So the whole bike got 2 Stage machine polished, 5 Year Ceramic coating applied inside and out as well as permanent trim restorer on the unpainted black trims etc. All corrodable metal parts were treated and protected from corrosion. Frame was polished to remove staining, wheels were completely dull and grey when it arrived and needs serious attention.

The owner was absolutely over the moon with the result and is now afraid to drive it it's that clean 😁

A few nice before and afters once again! 😁

Another beautiful rare old machine in for a restoration valet. A 1990 Yamaha TDR250 Two stroke. Ideally a bike like this could benefit from a full restoration but the aim was to make it better than what it was while keeping it mostly original where possible.

Treated to a machine polish and full 5 Year GTechniq Ceramic Coating as well as the GTechniq permanent trim restore on the unpainted plastic trims. Also a full rust inhibit snd preventative treatment and a few paint touch ups.

All done and dusted within the week and back to the owner who's over the moon with the job, and that's the main thing 😎

Nice aul start to the new year with the first booking in and out!

A 2010 Suzuki GSX650F in for a full valet, 2-Stage machine polish and 3-5 Year Ceramic Coating on the whole bike including the new Permanent trim restore ceramic coating from GTechniq used on all unpainted trims.

All corrodable metals treated with anti corrosion to top it off 😎

If you like a before and after transformation... you'll love this rare beauty being brought back to life!

I had the pleasure of being trusted with this late 80's Suzuki TV250 Wolf, essentially a naked version of the legendary RGV250 two stroke. But this one is extra special as it is a BRAND NEW delivery mileage machine with only 3 Miles (Yes, you read that right, 3 Miles!) On the clock. Imported and owned by the head of Suzuki Motorcycles Ireland when it was brand new, and still in his ownership to this day, never even registered!

It unfortunately fell victim to being in an adjacent part of the building that went on fire a while ago and resulted in a small bit of damage. I was given the call as the only man for the job and look how it turned out 😍

Fully decontaminated and cleaned using only the safest and best products for the job supplied by Xpert Detailing Supplies then fully 3 stage machine polished with a 5 Year ceramic coating head to toe. As well as all the nitty gritty metal polishing, anti corrosion coatings and all the necessary details to ensure it will survive another 35 years except this time, with the best protection possible!

Thank you again to Anto and Tony from Suzuki Motorcycles + Quads Ireland by Priory Motorcycles for trusting me to have my hands on this beautiful machine.
