Brilliant day out, pissed down big style on the way back and glad I put Dunlop Roadsmarts on a few weeks ago, great grip in the wet Malaig road is the one with all the speed limit signs on the tight bends - dual carriageway? Foc me it was windy when I did that road! Good ride tho'. I think you remember wrong Nick as there are no dual carriage ways to Mallaig

Did a full service on my bike today ... Think it needed it just ticked over 40k . Starts and runs smoother now .
I have a new air filter waiting to fit too. Do you have any tips from just doing this yourself
up at 04:30 for the 7:30 ferry from cairnryan to belfast headed south through portaferry to newcastle, had a bite to eat, down to newry, back north to dundrod and back to belfast for the 19:30 ferry back to cairnryan and home to bed about 23:30, 270 dry miles, a good day out.

Were there many bikes about round Dundrod ? I love having a blast round there. It is a fantastic run down to Newcastle etc!I used to live not far from Dundrod and used to get up there often, used to sit at the Joey Dunlop stand and just listen to the silence, sounds daft I know. Would just shut my eyes and remember the great times I had at the Ulster over all the years. I can still see Joey &Robert on the podium along with other greats even before there time, Redman, Hailwood, Agostini. Daft I know
As going for a ride out tomorrow gave her a good wash and polish as one wants ones pride and joy to look there best
