Missed the Belfry ...was on a long weekend in Ireland...four of us. Me on the GTR, one on a ZZR, one on a Ducati and one on a Triumph. Yep I was on the best bike and did TEC duties so that I could pick up all the parts that were falling off the other bikes :mfr_lol:
I have piut some piccies up. We spent every night in the Templebar area of Dublin...magic. The roads, weather and scenery were fantastic all weekend.
Lucky you....I have spent quite a few very happy hours in a well lubricated stupor in the Temple Bar :yes:
I hope one day to go to Ireland as it does look beautiful just like Scotland.

:agree: great atmosphere and absolutely buzzing, so easy for the "Black Stuff" to go down, met up with a few other tourers and somehow it got onto the Jameson's.....we all came close to the point of "To hell with tomorrows ride, this is great" :hammer: :hammer: fortunately commonsense ruled and we called it a night....we did still have Sunday night so no problem :banana: :banana:
The ride on Sunday was brilliant and the Sunday night visit to Templebar finished the weekend off nicely :clap: :clap:
My only criticism of the whole weekend is that Dublin is bloody expensive. Our Hotel was £500 for the weekend ( Bed & Breakfast) and Euro7.50 a pint... :censored: :censored:

Yes Wolf, very much like Scotland, but the people and the culture quite different. I was impressed with how many local people took part in outdoor activities, walking, jogging, swimming and by far the largest contingent of cyclists, male and female, that I have seen outside of Spain.
The people so friendly, it was a joy to share their company.
I hope you manage a visit there, I am sure you will love it.

I think it was more a question of trying to find out who's satnav was on the correct route...I was tail end Charlie so just sat back and enjoyed the ride. :biker3:
