Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures
Time to say goodbye to the understated but decent BMW F800R I bought my BMW F800R back in August 2020, now just about three years on it’s time to say goodbye to the F800. I bought the bike from Derby Kawasaki a dealership that I had sort of randomly stumbled across when browsing the web […]
Motorcycle in Ireland County Kerry, County Cork & Mizen Head Previously I wrote about heading for Mulranny in County Mayo and then about having a fabulous day around Achill Island. In this third and final post of this tripm after leaving Mary’s I head for an overnight stay in the town of Killarney then the […]
Motorcycle in Ireland, back to the roads of the Emerald Isle Good weather and some free time had me thinking about where to go for a short break – and to be honest on this occasion I wasn’t really thinking of anywhere other than Scotland or Ireland. Regular readers will know I was in Ireland […]

Motorcycle in Ireland – part 2 destination Kenmare In Part One I wrote about my journey from Dublin down to Listowel in County Kerry.
