Safe trip home today Comrades.
Thank you
Good night with Kevin in Laragh last night

Safe travels John
Looks different at that speed
Great write up JB. Looks like you had a great trip
If I’d known you’d be around Moll’s I’d have given you a few boreens to try…
I did see a few interesting tracks on my map (dotted line to the east of Molls)Looks different at that speed

You were the catalyst for a great week and looking forward to 2027 now
Cheers for the quick spin on your R12 G/S - much appreciated
Well, that’s it for this 2026 Irish trip
1675 miles over the 8 days, door to door
Lucky with the weather too
Met some great friends & folks at Leenane again and 2 new faces Old Rat and Ex Call Centre Chimp
Everywhere we went the Irish were so hospitable and friendly - we had a great place in Castletownbere for 3 days
Old 1150 GSA (only 1150 at Leenane) performed fine & went well - however it is a slow slug compared to Mark’s 1390 SAS Evo Auto which is a rocket ship (he let me do 20-25 miles on it and it’s truly stunning)
Just shows how bikes have altered in 25 years
Here’s to the next time

Jack Russell is still my favourite muttly
Great illustrated write-up
ThanksGreat illustrated write-up
The bike that did a great job, with no complaints and hiccups
Comfy
Handled well
Reliable
Whisked me along safely, in some atrocious weather cloudbursts
Took too much clobber and crap ….as usual (must pare it down)
Used 300ml of oil over the 1675 miles
Just goes to show you can tour on any bike and a £3000 one is just as good
On the Dublin ferry yesterday, it was the oldest bike at 21 years old
1150’s still can do it in an unsophisticated way - no ABS or traction/modes
Thank you for posting all that.. really does look good AND you had such cracking weather for this time of year !
