Ireland Road Trip

Post by Moorso »

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:

Thanks for that! I'll look forward to seeing the full doodah, as I'm going over next week too. I'm also hoping for better weather, but my skin's waterproof so I'll be ok.

I've always liked County Clare. I've had a few trips over there for the caving and it usually ended up messy with us never being in a fit state to go caving before lunchtime.
