1·12 days agoOn the off chance you have no idea wtf I’m on about, here’s some coverage of last year’s superbike race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A84ZISrCMo

It is a belter. From Larne, up along the coast through Cushendun (there’s a bar there, Mary McBrides, does amazing food, recommended). From there you can follow the small roads along the coast past Torr Head, or take the A road directly to Ballycastle. Continue to Ballintoy Harbour (Game of Thrones harbour, nice spot), the Carrickareede Rope Bridge, Giant’s Causeway (park at the hotel - only pay for the bus!), Dunluce Castle, and polish it all off with a lap of the NW200 circuit around Portrush and Portstewart. I’d stay in Portstewart and have a few pints in the Anchor that evening. Not a bad day’s biking.
Another favourite of mine, and much less well known road, is the B47 Glenelly road to Plumbridge through the heart of the Sperrin Mountains. Ultimately, I’d recommend get yourself west to Donegal - it’s filled with amazing scenery and would make a great starting point for the Wild Atlantic Way. The R251 past Glenveagh National Park, down past Mt Errigal into the Poisoned Glen is spectacular.
Where are you, James Bond, now that we need you?
Quick wash is a great way to work up an appetite!
Came here to suggest Operation Mindcrime as well.
Sometimes I take the 450 for a ride, sometimes it takes me for a ride…
Luckily, there’s a small motocross track local to where I live. It’s been great fun. When I was talking to the guy selling it on the phone, I asked why he’s selling it. He told me he’s now 40 and is getting too old for this sort of thing. I’m 54. :-D
I knew this was going to win, since Robot Pat can’t be defeated, he shoots lasers from his eyes.
Yes. 365 Days to write a song, yet I know I’m going to leave it to the last 2 hours.
I admit I’m a little disappointed we don’t actually have to write and record songs.
It’s a good bike, goes very well, but it’s a bit big and top-heavy. I fancy something lower and lighter. I’ve been looking at GSXS-1000F’s - I really like the look of them (the early ‘Angry Birds’ models), the extra horsepower is pretty much irrelevant. Strongly prefer the look of the Gixxus to the Kawasaki 1000sx, and I can fit soft luggage to it, I reckon, and if I need to flash the ECU to smooth the throttle I think I can do that too. I can pick up very low mileage Gixxuses from about £6k or so, they seem to be very good value.
