         		 Pic with Robert Dunlop - Joey's younger brother. Tragically, Robert was killed in a road race just 2 weeks after we met him. : by maria_brett, Views[292]
         		 Seemed like we were criss-crossing from the Rep. Ireland into nth Ireland all the time - but you never see a border. : by maria_brett, Views[238]
         		 After a breathtaking 150kms of superb twisties (as seen in the background), beautiful tarmac (imagine flying past quaint little viillages because the surface beneath you is willing you onwards!) and stunning scenery of barren fields edging their way right up to the base of HUGE mountain peaks that were soaking up the afternoon sun. And to think that most of the group went directly to the hotel because of this morning's rain. We all later reflected (over 3 pints of Guinness!) that it was probably the best afternoon's riding we had each done. : by maria_brett, Views[567]
         		 Noel on his faaaaaat Honda. Get outta his way if you see his headlights coming!: by maria_brett, Views[478]
     
    Revving up a Honda Postie - go figure. : by maria_brett, Views[413]
         		 Aidan (organiser) and his gorgeous daughter, Robyn.: by maria_brett, Views[462]
         		 Arriving at Phoenix Park the next day for the big Revup for DSI (imagine 160 bikes all on the gas at once!!!).: by maria_brett, Views[509]
         		 Party trick anyone? Can't remember how this ended...: by maria_brett, Views[404]
         		 Arthur discussing the finer points of owning tea plantations in Sri Lanka and India....: by maria_brett, Views[372]

         		 Our new mate Alan (or 'Dayglo' on online forum biker.ie !!). Good soul.: by maria_brett, Views[300]
         		 Retracing our steps over a coupla cheekies.: by maria_brett, Views[333]
         		 Back over Bundoran town. Nightlife awaits!: by maria_brett, Views[407]
         		 Hear the sizzle from here...: by maria_brett, Views[359]
     
    Making it back to Bundoran for night 2, we arrived just in time for a beautiful sunset over the west coast.: by maria_brett, Views[284]
         		 Onwards to the pub, or stop for some antiques??!!: by maria_brett, Views[387]
         		 One of the rare moments when we pulled off...: by maria_brett, Views[415]
         		 How do you top that! The only risk is that you fly past it on your bike at a nutter's pace. We had to literally pull off the road at a moment's notice and kill the engine to soak it all in. So easy to miss, and sometime's impossible to stop and capture - that's why we can't show you very much. : by maria_brett, Views[371]
         		 Our riding buddies: tea importer, Arthur (or 'Artr'), and software programmer, Dermott - they both kept the craic rolling in thick and fast.: by maria_brett, Views[373]

         		 Pulled up outside the Joey Dunlop rec centre ready to be police-escorted to Joey's Bar down the road. The lovely ladies at the centre fed us fresh salmon & corn sandwiches and endless cuppas and shortbreads. There was so much food left over they were begging us to have 3rds and 4ths. Never seen so many big men turn down free food!: by maria_brett, Views[414]
         		 Bays and farmland, and hills and the sea... all drifting in and out of each other: by maria_brett, Views[333]
         		 Towards the end of Day 1 Aidan got a call saying that Martin Finnegan, a legend within the Irish road racing community, had been tragically killed at Tandragee - just up the road from here. His engine seized and it spat him off the bike. : by maria_brett, Views[392]
         		 Idyllic countryside, tough conditions.: by maria_brett, Views[319]
     
    This would make a fantastic album cover for a 5-piece band. Any takers?? : by maria_brett, Views[2899]
         		 Getting down and dirrrty!: by maria_brett, Views[327]
         		 Round some of the furthest-western parts, the grass seemed constantly wind- or water-blown, and the roads either stretched into infinity or took you round the bends of hills with bays of lapping water at their sides...: by maria_brett, Views[374]
         		 Taking a 2-second break from the constant auto-piloting of gear shifting -
         		 After what seemed like 2 days rolled in to one, and spectacular scenery appearing on our left-hand shoulder indicating that we'd hit the west coast.... lunch :) Funny how it seems there's an Irish pub in every corner of the world.: by maria_brett, Views[377]
     
    Inspecting the fences - someone's gotta do it. : by maria_brett, Views[362]
         		 First pit stop on day 1. Probably about 7:30 or some ungodly hour. Set off in the first group with some of the marshals - here was the place we stuck out our hands and said
         		 About to spend three days stuck together on the back of a bike... Might as well get used to it! Do we know what we're getting ourselves into???: by maria_brett, Views[346]
         		 by maria_brett, Views[271]
         		 About to have morning tea before we set off on our great riding adventure. Might as well get into theme... :): by maria_brett, Views[419]
     
    The Millenium Spire... or the Pin of Hope... or the Knitting Needle of Destiny... we can't quite remember.: by maria_brett, Views[385]
         		 Another busker in Dublin.: by maria_brett, Views[335]
         		 So leprechauns DO exist!! Ha ha!! Don't believe anything else you hear. And the busker's dog is obviously a universal thing all round the world.: by maria_brett, Views[388]
         		 Tulips!!! Love the tulips. Spring has sprung!: by maria_brett, Views[389]
         		 1st of May - and keeping up with Czech traditions to be with your loved one under the blossoms.: by maria_brett, Views[341]
     
    The girls under the blossoms: by maria_brett, Views[369]
         		 More of the same :): by maria_brett, Views[356]
         		 In St. Stevens Green - you know the park in the film 'Once', where the singer chased the thief? Check it out if you haven't seen it yet. Sublime soundtrack.: by maria_brett, Views[380]
         		 There's a reason we're cupping the young woman's succulent breasts. It's ahh, ... it's ahhh.... Can't quite remember. Ah yes! It's Molly Malone!: by maria_brett, Views[403]
         		 Ahhh, where it all began. Irish pubs, I mean!: by maria_brett, Views[318]
     
    Up a Dublin alley: by maria_brett, Views[338]
         		 Our friends from our TESOL teaching course in Australia, Majella and Alys, hosted us for a couple of nights before the trip in Dublin. Lotta laughs and trekking round the city. Thanks girls!: by maria_brett, Views[449]
         		 Who says you can't ride a BMW 1200RT like a 600cc supersport!! And Maria was on the back... :): by maria_brett, Views[401]
         		 Our host for a couple of nights before and after the trip, Noel, in the middle - and Greg all the way from Orange County Choppers on the right. Great kid.: by maria_brett, Views[404]
