Such a long way from Enniscorthy to Glengarrif. Broke me thinking about it. Hope you took advantage of the hotel offerings!!

Was in Ireland earlier this year on our annual tour. Loved every minute of it. What a beautiful country. We never saw any fixed speed cameras in the 1300 miles we covered either.

beautiful journey 👏❤️ ❤ from Lahore 👍🤗🏵️💐

Re hotels Sean I have the same attitude, spoil myself every third night but I’m getting old and my body needs its comforts. I’ve had it with minging digs after a long day on the road and yes coffee is an issue in Ireland, best place are service stations.

Winnats Pass, Peak District?

That road while the views are great...would annoy me after 25km seems way too undulating even on a GS or similar.

Curious... The quadlock do you have any issued with your phone stopping and starting charging all the time? As for speed limits most of London is 20mph in built up areas All of Wales is in urban areas It's a shambles...

Great to catch up with the tour Shaun, been saving them up whist I went on my own, completely opposite, odyssey - passing not far from your own turf. Not being in Rukka society (tour cost me less than one of their suits) only had to put my Richa Rain Warrior suit on in three times in a fortnight! Smashing to see you getting on with the Triumph, it's a great feeling finding a bike that really suits you. Looking forward to the next episode.

What tyres are you using?

Glen gar iff

Just as well you're using Satnav. If you had to ask for directions God knows where you'd end up. Glen-a-griff?? how'd you mangle Glengarriff into Glen-a-griff? Anyhow, love the channel. Did a Scotland trip with my son in March, largely on the basis of your recent Scotland series. Only got as far north as Ullapool due to time constraints. Itching to go back. We got lucky weather-wise, but I wouldn't really advise going that early in the year.

Chin strapped, classic squaddie language.

Nice one Shaun. Not so much singing though yeah? :D

Roads look great pity about the weather, Well at least you never Shat in the washing basket 😮

Coffee shops do become a little more prevalent in the more touristy areas but they're not what you'd call over run with them. Fuel station coffee will get you by but you just can't beat a proper coffee shop with a good selection cakes, after all we're not animals! lol

You should have taken the r666 from lismore castle. Ironically it ends at priory coffee in fermoy, the place you noticed as you drove past!

Not sure it's possible to pick a worse route 😂 Mallow and Bandon would be the equivalent of touring through Hull and Bradford

Brill video as usual just wondering what size is your tank bag wanting one for my gs looks the right size?

Just did a tour of Ireland, never had a problem getting a coffee ... in any CircleK garage or Centra store you can get a fair representation of a flat white out of a machine, and a sandwich or pastry. OK, not partisan made by hand but decent enough 😁. We had a fantastic trip over a week, with only one wet day, starting from Rosslare, up the west coast to Donegal, a visit to the Giants Causeway and back down through the Wicklow mountains. The road from Glengariff to Kenmare and onward to Killarney was a beaut.👌

Lovely video Shaun. The Wicklow mountains are a favourite spot for our motorcycle group (based in Dublin). There are so many different routes you can take and the scenery changes with each. Pity your video didn't capture the spectacular waterfall as you rode down into Laragh or the view back from the hill road towards Glenmalure but you were busy watching the road and sheep! To be fair, most of those roads are built on bog and soft ground so the surface is prone to bumps and hollows and it's best to just take it slow and give yourself time to take in the scenery. The R759 to Lough Tay is another stunning road. Looking forward to watching all the episodes. (Love the Triumph - had the previous version which was a great bike. Possibly better than my current 1250 GSA....???)

Only getting round to watching this episode now. Nicely done, Shaun. Ive never seen you bounce around as much on a bike before 🤣🤣 👍

So much hurt on a country ride? You obviously bought the wrong bike.

Thanks, enjoyed the video, shame about the weather, gutted that we didn't get to see you struggling with a tent. Thought you lot enjoyed a bit of a bivvy 😉

Good job!! 👏🏽👏🏽 Beautifull bike!!😍

I still think it's crazy what you have to remove to reach the airfilter (of any bike), You would think engineers would think of it how to reach objects easier for maintenance and such. But you have done it with great skill, almost like a surgeon.

Cool video bub. This helped a bunch.

Done this a good few times and even better when you get the weather. The road from Applecross round the coast is great as well.

Hi, new subscriber here, Great video and lovely scenery I’ve got Ireland on my to do list.

👍

The sports bike riders have to ride like they are on a horse, butt off the seat. You need to make sure you haven't skipped leg day at the gym before tackling it.

Looks a great ride Shaun. My mum lives over that way, it’s on the top of my list. How’s it going on the 21” front.. cheers pal.

Great video, you're brave pushing on a bit on that mountain road, some of them bumps and dips could castrate you😆 Great country here for bikes, takes a while to really get to know the best roads where the tourists don't go. That looked damned good Guinness, 'a pint of plain is your only man' as they say in old Dublin.

Thanks for the enjoyable content 😁Keep safe 👍

When we got back from Ireland on the 2nd tour, the first thing I did was sell my low chasiss xr gen 1 , I literally thought the roads were going to break my back .... I changed for a another bike, it is beautiful but my God ... hidden bumps in the road...

Enjoyed the video, but my old Honda wouldn't be very nice to ride on that road if I'm honest! (Althought it's probably best not to take speed bumps at 50mph 🤣 Looking at that pint of Guiness I doubt you managed to 'Stick' on just the one! Very atmospheric music, but I kind of miss The Wildflowers. 🤣

Hi, just to let you know that toll you paid €2.20 in Dublin is FREE for motorcyclists. Stay in the left lane and keep left of the barrier. I think there is a notice but always free at that toll and M50 toll also free to bikes. Enjoy your trip in Ireland.

It would be nice to see where you are staying as well 👍

Absolute rubbish weather, hopefully you checked the speed limit in parts of wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 it it’s down to 20mph 😢

Nice part of the World in and around the Wicklow mountains. You’ve just got to keep an eye out for RED flags dotted about. ( but that’s another story)

Yes Shaun. The laundry basket has never been the same since.!!!

Haha Nora Batty last of the summer wine. Sometimes rain mode gives u full power but gentle throttle. Ideal. Why one would want a snatchy throttle unless your racing the nuts off is beyond me. Oh do ü use a filter on yr vids? Silvery? Think I prefer it natural once in a while. Any chance? Send me to blazes if you wish. Loving the series 🏆🏆

Special place the Wicklows, broke down there touring in 2002 and the locals were amazing, new chain and sprockets on my Kwacker and free breakfast 85 punts, long before the Euro bumped up the cost of everything in Ireland. Certainly not a country for sports bikes🤣

R115, looks like a great introduction to Ireland. Beanage, gaff, wazzed…. And a JackJones T, you’ve settled back into UK life quickly lol

0:55. Roundabout ahead!!

Watching you bounce around on the 115, it looked like they must have paved over every rock and hole with no attempt to level any of it out 😆!

Awesome video my friend! Wish we had beautiful countrysides like that around me in the U.S. Ride safe my friend🙏

Great video Shaun, that triumph looks to be doing a top job for you 👏

Thanks for the enjoyable video

And for your next trick, lets see you do the R115 on an S1000XR lol

How is the blind spot detection going? I hope it drys up a bit for you, that Guinness looked smooth
