Debs look up north west 200 or the skerries or the ulster gp ..or closer to home oliver mount scarbourgh .. cock of the north meet or gold cup .. or isle of man the Southern that happens after TT fortnight and before the Manx TT .
It's pretty much watching some of the most close up road racing on could ever wish for .
Eg me an the Mrs ain't been over for a few yrs but usually rent a cottage for a week tour some of Ireland watch races at end of week Then get the ferry back  :laugh:

Me and Angie are off to the TT this year, missed last year ( knee opp ) gutted, always wanted to do Ireland. My Nephew does most of the races over there, but then again he does work for Gearlink Kawasaki and has looked after Alaister sealey - Glen Irwin - Luke Hedger - Ben Wilson - Mason Law and is now chief mechanic for Vittorio Iannuzzo.

The pictures are from 2013 on my 4th GTR, Mrs Zed giving the thumbs down to the GTR ( biyach ) after keeping up with me over the mountain on her Ducati 848.

Irish road racing is an important part of my life, I've been to the N.W 200 soooooo many times, plus I've been to the UGP and as recently as this year I was at the Armoy Road races.

There is nothing, repeat nothing like road racing.....shall I drop a few names ?  ONly if you ask nicely  :mfr_lol:

NW200 is brilliant, been many times. Renting a house with friends in or around Portstewart is often the cheapest way to stay. Have travelled via Holyhead to Dublin and also Cairnryan to Larn. Both routes have great roads. Quite fancy the road racing in July in northern France next year also.

Sorry, should have been more clear. The racing in July is just over the border in Belgium.
