🎅 Back by Popular Demand! 🎄
Our Annual “Waking the Neighborhood” Santa Run is returning and we couldn’t be more excited!

We’ve been inundated with messages asking if it’s happening again, and we’re thrilled to say YES! Sunday 7th December Leaving Shed HQ 10am

This unique and much-loved Santa run has brought plenty of smiles and festive spirit to the communities around Shed 4 Bikers HQ, and we can’t wait to do it all again.

✨ Dress festive 🧑‍🎄 fire up the bikes 🏍️, and join us as we visit local residential areas to spread a bit of Christmas cheer to kids and adults alike.

As always, this community event is a team effort, and we’re looking for the support of local businesses to help make it extra special.
If you or your business can contribute selection boxes, sweets, or small treats for our goodie bags, your help would go a long way in making someone’s Christmas a little brighter.

📩 Get in touch if you’d like to get involved or support this year’s Santa Run!

Let’s make this another unforgettable festive ride! ❤️🏍️

As the partnership moves into future years, opportunities to expand and impact are clear: larger-scale safety campaigns during peak riding seasons. The blueprint that started in 2017 gives both Principal Insurance and Shed 4 Bikers the confidence to aim higher while keeping community needs front and centre.

Principal Insurance Ireland is proud to continue its sponsorship of Shed 4 Bikers, a community-run motorcycle workshop and meeting hub. Since 2020, this partnership has helped run safety courses, buy essential tools and equipment, Shed renovation and support that helps keep riders safer and communities stronger.

Words from Derek Honda

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🚨

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

Anyone with any information please contact An Garda Síochána or 25th Kildangan Scout Group !

STOLEN FROM SCOUTS
🚨⚜️🚨⚜️🚨⚜️🚨

25th Kildangan Scout Group recently posted about their new outdoor activity space beside the CrossKeys Kildangan. To the utter dismay of both Scouts and this community, the significant amount of boundary fencing erected by the Council, as seen in the photo attached, has been stolen!!

If anyone locally has any CCTV from the past week in the area, please review, and if there is anything significant or questionable relating to this theft, please contact the Scouts or Guards directly.

It is very sad, when our local volunteer scout group was working so hard to clean up and utilise this site for the good of our local children, for this to happen.

Very well done to North Dublin Bikers
Here's an update from Their page from one of their organiser:

North Dublin Bikers spin to support Grow.ie was an amazing day.

Where to start with our thanks;

Massive thank you I’m sure from the whole of Ireland for the valuable service provided by Grow, it’s amazing for us to be able to offer the support we can!

Then there’s the Shed 4 Bikers team who were instrumental in this event happening, without them it would have been near impossible 🙏👏👏👏

Bikeworld Ireland - discounting the prizes to maximise the donation to Grow.ie and a good contribution to raffle ticket sales! Nice one lads 🙏

A&S Meats in Portarlington, gave us a discount on some great burgers and sausages for the day.

Alan Dolan, Anna L Photography and others who captured some great photos and videos of the day.

A shout out to Robbie who made loads of friends on the day and amused us all with his jokes 🤩

My wife Gemma Hopson and son Theory for all the running around getting buns, sauces, cheese, helping during the event and rather importantly bringing me a change of clothes on the day 🙏

Lastly, the biking community of Ireland. A community of people who are so incredibly generous with their time and hard earned €’s.

The weather was far from ideal but I think everyone had an amazing day. We started the day with over 70 Bikes! 🏍️

The numbers are in, the donation we will be making to Grow is *€5,617*. Our initial discussions with Grow we indicated that we would aim to make a donation of €1,500-2,000 given this is our first of what will be an annual event.

We at North Dublin Bikers are very much looking forward to creating a bigger and better event for 2026….. watch this space.
