Great initiative by Yukan and a few S4B team members, definitely a few future bikers in the making,

Very well done to all involved

We have advocated these issues for years, They talk about new regulations, new laws but if they can't implement and enforce what's already there, moving forward is pointless, standards need to reassess re-evaluated and implemented with force

One would assume as per the photo that this unit would be easy to see.
It is very unfortunate that this evening we received a message from one of our guys of his intent to depart our group.
Having completed a long shift he explained his reasons.
Nothing to do with the difficult work we do .
The sickness and loss, the despair some people find themselves in fighting the system.
The lack of support that often happens due to disconnection between depts .
The number of hours or days spent on the road.
It all boils down to driving standards.
On his shift he had over 6 near misses and 3 very serious miss attempts.
All followed by ,
sorry , did not see you , I put my indicator on , what’s your problem and then the classic just pure abuse by people on their phones , doing hair, make up , teams calls , watching films, on lab tops , eating, wearing ear phones,shaving,day dreaming,reading papers, driving with no lights in heavy rain and dark evenings, just to highlight some issues.
He is a calm person who has handled the most difficult cases with dignity and compassion.
We are at a loss but asked him to take a break and hold off making a final decision.
We are a small team with very special players and it’s a first for us in over 10 years.
Hopefully he will reflect, reenergise and reconsider.
The road safety authority speak all the time about speed as an issue.
What about all the other factors that they never consider.
They should spend a day on one of our units and take stock of reality.
Sometimes while in the forest one can’t see the wood for the trees.

🚨Event Cancellation Notice🚨

It’s with genuine regret that we have to share some disappointing news.

Due to circumstances completely outside of our control, we are unable to go ahead with our upcoming Shed 4 Bikers Waking The Neighborhood Event this Sunday

We know how much this event means to the community, and we never take cancellations lightly, Sometimes unexpected challenges arise, and going ahead would mean doing the job half heartedly something we refuse to do to the people who support us year after year

We’re as disappointed as you are, and we want to apologise to everyone who was looking forward to coming along and attending,

Thanks again to everyone for helping me out in 2025.

Big year next year finger crossed, im looking for as much help as I can get from everyone. Every little bit goes along way and as you all know I do it all out of my own pocket which is getting harder as things are getting more expensive.

Update from MCI
Looks like the future is bright and there's hope on the horizon 🙏, we will have to see what the outcome is, hopefully we will be back racing next year 🤞,

On a side note, this information although doesn't give any intellectual property away is very welcoming, more of this please Motorcycling Ireland

🚨Update from the President of Motorcycling Ireland🚨

09/09/2025

We'd like to start with a few old sayings

• Silence makes the heart grow fonder (ok in loving relationship, Not by our Motorsport Governing body)

• Inquiring minds want to know" and "A wandering mind is an unhappy mind" which starts to play a game in which a message is distorted by being passed around in a whisper.

• No News is good News ( Ok in relation to the medical future of a family, Not by our Motorsport Governing Body)

Here at Shed 4 Bikers we have always supported, Motorcycle Motorsport across all disciplines, We've felt the pain and anguish of the no racing due to Insurance cost,

During these hard times I've followed, stayed up to speed and watched people within the sport Promote, Sponsor and Do their best to keep the Public interested, interconnected and engaged, Something I feel the Governing Body should have been doing,

These People are like Bovril like them or hate them, they are prominent figures within the sport, who in our opinion have the future of the sports best interest at the forefront

Want to wish Paul Mc Mahon, Stacey Clyne Wogan and Mike Dalton the very best in their MCI candidates elections bid
