Bin, I have done three routes for you from Newry to Letterkenny.
All the routes start at the 5 Ways roundabout in Newry, which is at the bottom of the bypass where B&Q and McDonalds are.
Route 1 is the direct and shortest run from Newry and is 85 miles.

Route 2 is slightly longer at 95 miles and takes you the most direct route from Newry to Cookstown, then through the Sperrins to Strabane and on to Letterkenny.

If it's dry and you have the time then this is the best route. The longest of the 3 at 102 miles.
Newry to Tandragee is a cracking road for a bike, a real gem, and Tandragee to Armagh is almost as good. Great fun. Head on for Cookstown, a great run through the Sperrins to Strabane then straight on to Letterkenny.
I hope at least one of these will be of use.

Just leave a longer gap between you and the rider in front
I can't even remember if I have ABS on mine or not so you'll need to watch out

Just booked.
Just booked the hotel, Should be a good weekend.
I will be 2 up so the road trip only.
Last question is, which bike should I use.
GSA or GT ?
Is it all tight Boreens ?

Oh yes
Actually, it's a mix of nearly everything except motorway. But a lot of it is nadgery boreens & the GT won't be nearly as much fun as the GSA
