Also nice to have people pull over to let you past if they're slower than you...we soon learnt to do the same and it made things much more chilled
Were you on the Honda or a bigger bike ?

That's the thing about that region, it's so hit and miss with the weather. The views are spectacular but it can change so quickly.
Mist and fog just ruins the whole thing. The Ring of Kerry trip looked great for you ! I've been there many times but yet to do it on the
Cub.

Re: South-West Ireland on small Hondas....
I'd would love to visit Ireland. But whith my wife i'd never do it by bicycle or Innova. Only with car renting and bed and breakfust. I prefer motor bicycle or bicycle (2 roues in French) that's because with 2 roues, y are in the landscape. and with a car I feel like that if i am in a box.

Re: South-West Ireland on small Hondas....
Susan and I stayed at Lauragh, for ten days last autumn. I took the 90 on the back of the car.
We had heard a lot about The Ring Of Kerry and couldn't wait to do it. It was a disappointment.
The ring of Beara, on the other hand, was absolutely stunning! Ring of Kerry is for coaches and cars, but the unspoiled beauty of the ring of Beara, will only be enjoyed on a bike!

Quite true - the Ring of Kerry can be quite busy with tourist traffic unfortunately. My Cub 90 was bought on the Beara peninsula....a good omen !Newtsalad wrote:Susan and I stayed at Lauragh, for ten days last autumn. I took the 90 on the back of the car.
