Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
For those who are curious about trailers. I enjoyed a very spirited run to Kenmare when I left on Sunday morning. I took the Healy Pass and seemingly left a rather impressed sport bike rider who asked many questions about trailers after seeing how my set up handled the twisties. Converted! IMG_20240...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
I couldnt resist this photo. What a great weekend and perfect weather. Hopefully everyone has reached home safely. As for me, I went home via the Healy Pass and made it before the rain kicked in. Thanks for all the work and a very enjoyable weekend and excellent route planning. IMG_20240427_105930.j...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
I had been watching the weather map so not travelling tonight but leaving early in the morning from Cork, travelling west to Bantry via Bandon Enniskeane Dunmanway then on to Glengarriffe. Anyone travelling early? What routes? One of my friends had to pull out and as his trip is already paid for I h...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
I agree 100% on trying to organise dinners for groups. I spent a lot of time doing that and organising functions, its a headache and thankless. If we have 20 and there is a kitchen maybe we can work something out. I am planning to bring my trailer as my friend is bringing a bike without much kit due...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
That is very useful about the restaurant. Walk distance is 2 to 3 km depending on venue. There are lots of places in Glengariffe. Is it feasible to organise a group dinner? I do recall this was what we had at my last ABR? Since we already have breakfast included would the same space be available? On...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
Sorry to see Moorso cant make it for the weekend. But I was looking at our weather map and it seems to be promising some good weather starting with a cold but not frosty Friday morning dropping to 4C overnight, for anyone arriving Thursday bring warm kit. Trailer sorted as I am making a longer weeke...

Re: ABR Ireland 2024 26 - 28th April 2024
I have put through payment for Will Crean and myself. I am planning on coming on Thursday and heading to Bantry market on Friday morning as there will be breakfast options there too. From there a short run to Kenmare via Caha Pass for a coffee stop and then back to Glengariffe via Healy Pass for lun...

Re: Resin drives VS centre stands
It depends too on what is under the resin. It is sometimes installed on tarmac and sometimes on concrete.
Centre stands are really a no go on tarmac in warm weather and the tarmac does not like oil either.

Re: Returning rider can it be done?
I have a full bike licence since 1974. Over the years I rode friends bikes as an extension to my car licence. In 2010 I got a BMW K100LT, not a sports bike but still a 1,000cc bike. My insurance cost me all of 240 despite not having had a stand alone bike policy for years. A very clean licence and n...
