Have been over several times on bike. Are you planning to go this time of year? If so be prepared for rain,rain & more rain! Ive only been in summertime & have experienced all the best that motorcycling has to offer. Its a magnificent country but then Im prejudiced (Irish ancestry).
If going for first time try & go with one or two others. Most B&Bs biker friendly,people willing to stop & chat about anything & everything.Scenery is stunning if you know where to go. Dont try for the maximum number of miles per day-its not America-you will see so much more if you explore byways.
First trip I took all bar the kitchen sink. Was a steep learning curve-now I know how to travel light-& how & where to pack stuff. Dont do a "Charlie & Ewan" unlewss youve got back up vehicles following you! :lol
