Lord twin disc front end too and Triumph only saw fit to bung a less than stellar single disc on the front of the 60hp+ Bonnies.
Another couple of hundred miles clocked up today. Half of them in proper Irish rain. Then brightened up.
Staying in Westport tonight. Looks like hen party central as we rode through. If only I had Scrappy's fanny magnet with me!
Be honest, that camo is so good you can't tell it's me can you?

Some more pics from today. Left Westport this morning and ended up just outside Galway tonight, travelling almost entirely around the coast.
Rained for 1st couple of hours, then gradually got scorchio ad the day went on.

Nice run to Leamington and back over the weekend.
Proper 'ot - had full venting coming back, but still didn't want to be stopped for long.
Fortunately, only first and last 5 minutes were in 30, the rest fast enough to keep a nice breeze going.
Won't be able to get out any evenings this week, but that's what I'd be doing if I could.

Well we got lucky with the weather again today. Not what was forecast. Galway to Tralee, again almost all on the coast road. Much of it is stunningly beautiful.
Off out for a drop of the good stuff shortly.
We're doing the ring of Kerry tomorrow. Not sure if anyone's told her!

Rode the Ring of Kerry today. Moist at times. Very tight at times. What more can I say?

So today we rode from Tralee to Mizzen head. The most South westerly point in Ireland. Also took in Bantry bay.
Ended up in Baltimore, a beautiful little fishing village. View from B&B.

Cos I get pissed way too quickly on the stuff.
But it's OK, I look like I'm pissed when I'm riding the bike anyway.

Great arty pictures @Public Enemy, and looks like your having a good time
With so many miles now on the new bike, how are you getting on with it?
The bike has been superb the whole trip. It's abilities far exceed mine. It absolutely smashes out high speed long distance runs, then will ride up a near goat trail with no problem. Comfort is excellent too, although I did fit a footpeg lowering kit for a touch more legroom.Great arty pictures @Public Enemy, and looks like your having a good time

It's only achilles heel is it's fucking difficult to manhandle in a restricted space, like garden or garage, cause there's no getting away from the fact it's a massive beast. So you choose your parking spot with great care!
That, plus it'll need it's 12k service when I get back. Gotta be done at dealer to maintain warranty. Expecting that to be a bit salty.
