A scoot to the south (of Ireland)

Thanks Aidan for the tip. I will pass on your kind regards to the mammy.....as she may recall Jockser from when he and I were at primary school together back in the last millennium, I shall just describe you as Jockser’s better looking friend

Will do nicely thank you Simon.

Thanks for that, a ride report is a rare thing these days.

So does the scoot go to Portsoy?

Good question! Let’s see how the leg recovery goes.

There’s no doubt the Burgman could do the job

If you take the scooter to Portsoy, I could keep up on the xCountry. However, I think the Wing will assert it's superiority and demand to be your ride, so I'll take my R1200R.

Bye the way no trip to Kilkenny would be complete without a trip to Nostalgia Restaurant. I spent many a happy hour or 2 there whilst my passengers explored the city. Micheal or Rosie love a good chat. Good food too. JJH

JJH: your advice is noted for my next trip, although it may not be open by then

Thanks for the RR Simon.

Thank you posting this, Simon....enjoyed it. Hopefully another sign that some sort of normality is returning.

Thanks guys for your kind words.

And in another sign of approaching normality , I ventured down to the seaside on the big bike today without evident damage to either the bike or my leg:

And you can see how keen we were...first order of the day at the chipper!

With thanks to Drumacoon Lad for the photos (and help in demolishing the fish and chips).

Good news Simon

But no pictures of the fish & chips.....

I've just seen this, TY for posting it
I've had a Burger for a few years and keep promising myself I'll do a trip on her sometime. Maybe the 'Into the West' club weekend next year?

Tommy: Glad you enjoyed!

Sadly a crowded garage meant that I sold the Burgman earlier this year (and am now down to 4 motorcycles ). But it was great and could see myself on another scooter at some future point. Although the excellent Goldwing DCT is essentially a scooter on steroids!
