I went over for the Riders Rally in 1986, had a great time, I have been back since to retrace my steps but with more time to stop and explore.
One day I will get over for another visit, the DMTC do a grand job.
Rode some crackin' roads following Big Aidan round the countryside & we picked up a good selection of Photo & Phoker points along the way. Weather was 'mixed' but nowhere near as bad as the forecast intimated. Didn't look at the tracklog yet but must have 1200+ km done over the weekend.
