Well, it was more a quick dash round the British Isles (http://www.thewellers.net/ralliesandrides/Iron%20Butt/BISSI/BISSI.htm) excluding Wales.

excellent pics and write up :clap: you were lucky spotting that tyre when you did :sweatdrop: the longest I've rode in one hit.. is 735 miles in 12 hours from charmont "france" to liverpool "merseyside" and the gtr done it with ease :smiley:

hi guys,nice write up there,pity you had a bit of bad weather,stunning roads down in the south,and when the weather is fine and clear the views along the coastal roads are stunning!!,,my best mate was living in ireland for about 12 yrs,he was a night manager in the royal george hotel in limerick,he then moved down to klonakilty in the south,about a hours run south of cork,,,,he was running a holiday cottage rental place in a place called "clogheen strand",its about 15min walk to the cause way near the beach,,,its absolutly stunning!!!,.
I was going to recommend it to any of the guys here who were thinking of a stopover,,,i can personally recommend it,,,,,,,and before you ask- your bikes would be perfectly safe,and i would think that if you ask nice they could be put in the laundry/garden store area :yes:
The place on the web is "clogheen strand holiday rentals"

Brilliant report as usual. Keep 'em coming, I love the reading and of course the pictures.

I'm so glad you made it to Northern Ireland or as they call it "Norn Iron" and managed to see the sights, BTW I told you the rope Bridge was an experience not to be missed  :mfr_lol:
