Were there many bikes about round Dundrod ? I love having a blast round there. It is a fantastic run down to Newcastle etc!
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.
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

did'nt have time to go the NW 200 track, there were a few bikes at dundrod 8-10, a nice run down to Newcastle we stopped at the first car park on the left but when we were leaving there were lots of bikes parked farther up the street, it was a good day out, definately do it again.
Nobody is perfect, but being Scottish is a start
