Hello From Ireland
Hello, I'm Stephen. I'm a Brit, residing in Ireland for the last 20 years. I live in the far South West, in Kerry on the most westerly inhabited point in Europe, Valentia Island. I'm a professional photographer, author and camera magazine associate editor.
I'm a brand new Honda 50 owner and it's over 40 years since I owned a motorcycle (last one was a Kawasaki 185cc in 1978). I've just bought a Honda 50 in Tralee, which I'm told was imported (as part of a job-lot of 6), from Japan, via Dublin, by a registered Honda dealer.
If it's OK, I'll be asking more about it, to try and immerse myself in what I've bought and all things Honda 50!

Welcome! There was another Little Cub joiner last month.

Must admit I've never heard of Valentia Island, anywhere near Craggy Island?

Re: Hello From Ireland
Thanks for the link. No, actually Craggy Island is really Inish Boffin (Inish = Island in Irish), which is one of the Arran Islands, off Galway. Valentia is much further south, along the Skellig Ring. From my garden, you can see Skellig Michael where they filmed the last 3 Star Wars movies.bikerbaker wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 7:43 pmMust admit I've never heard of Valentia Island, anywhere near Craggy Island?

Saw that before I bought the Little Cub. it's driving me nuts! The guy who plays the Gard (Policeman) towards the end, dancing in the bar, wrote the song.
