Title: Five Days Around Ireland
Post by: Moorso on May 22, 2015, 10:29:40 AM
Just back from 5 days away round Ireland. Was a phenomenal (if wet) trip.
We were running in a mate's rebuilt BMW R80 engine. Ended up at the cliffs of Moher and Doolin and everywhere in between!  :)

My new Michelin Road Pilot 4 tyres were a dream, gripping in every condition (albeit on road).

On board video and ride report will be coming over the weekend, but thought I'd post some pictures:

Well....the trade off for travelling round the 'Emerald Isle' is that there is a horrible tendency to get rained on..... a lot!!  :augie

Ha ha.....yep. Was up last year and we toyed with the idea of taking in the NW but realised time wasn't on our side. Heading to the Ulster Grand Prix this year though.  :bad
