I couldn't resist

[Dangerous Dave]

Apparently, the Irish police use FJRs painted in a high-viz green checkerboard pattern. So this keychain popped up on Ebay...it's a rubber replica of an Irish Garda FJR. Five bucks with free shipping from Dublin!

Here are the actual bikes

And here's the keychain

Who could resist that for 5 bucks??

That's got some cool factor. Maybe it's time to finally retire my Concours Owners Group keychain...

 

[kaitsdad]

Way cool !! I want one !!

Was still available - exchange rate with shipping was $5.29.

Now I've got to find me some of that really cool green paint.

Or if it is a vinyl graphics wrap, will they sell it to us here in the States?

Damn! I must have missed out. I wanted one. I was stopped by the Garda doing about 90 some years back. And I need a keychain... talked my way out of a ticket too.

... I was stopped by the Garda ....

Hell, Mikey, is there anyone you HAVEN'T been stopped by?

Have you ever considered obeying the friggin' law?

THIS (clickie) could be you.

Geez....166mph open road. Nine months in Jail for speeding, and a woman gets the same for hitting someone.

I wonder, how did they catch him?

Been to Ireland and met up with Garda in July. They are some very fine folks. Especially if you are a U.S. Cop offering to trade patches for their goodies. I just got my FJR and didn't remember Garda riding them. I will have to go back and look at my pictures again. I have a Garda key chain but not the FJR version. Cool!!!!!

I just picked one up. Way cool!

Mine just arrived in the mail today. REALLY fast shipping considering it came from Dublin. I've always carried my FJR key with nothing but a ring on it, I guess I now have an appropriate keychain for it.

Hey airportcop, here's a touch of irony for you.....

I bought my first FJR ('04) on Ebay. The seller lived in BF Oklahoma, but agreed to meet me at Springfield/Branson airport. So I bought a 1-way ticket to Springfield/Branson, caught a flight out of Cinci/KY at 7 AM, bought the bike at the airport and rode it back to Ohio. I was home by 11 PM. So my FJR ownership had its beginnings right by you! Small world, eh?

Dave,

Awesome! Small world! I just checked my Ireland pictures and the only Garda bike I got a pic of was an Honda ST. They must ride different bikes. Couldn't resist so ordered mine today! I have a regualr Garda keychain that they gave over there but it is not the FJR version.

Where are you guys picking it up? I have checked eBay several times. What are the correct search words?

 

[Phugedaboudet]

I just want a set of the "city" side case lids.

Wouldn't mind one of their rear seat storage boxes that sell for less than the "soul+testicles+arm/leg+firstborn" that Corbin wants.

Me too. I've tried all kinds of searches and even went to the Ireland ebay site, but no luck.

I couldn't find one when I took a quick look - I'll take a closer look tonight. And the auction that I bought off of ended on 11/6.

Shiny, if you can find a way to buy these Eire Garda keyfobs; please pick me up half dozen of them for Christmas presents.

You know I'm good for it; I will send you the dinero, and buy you a Smithwicks' and a shot of Jameson when I next see you.

Oh, and if you find a Vespa keyfob on the Internet, buy me one! That'll be W.O.P Goombah Dago johnny80s Christmas gift!!
