Retired Electronic Engineer, car racer, biker, I was in The Klams (drums, guitar, singing, production), NICSCC cricketer, leftie, LFC. Completed Atic Atac during lock down. Inventor of Slug Or Mushroom. First person to put gravy granules into baked beans.
Got all packed up, went up to Malin head, then across to Binevenagh, before heading cross country through the Sperrins home.
Mull of Binion, the mists rolling in from the sea, my desire is for more beer.
Drove up and over the Gap of Mamore today. Amazing views, even by Donegal standards.
Came back from pub early so I could have a beer or two. Stopped off at local beach carpark to have a look around. Didn't disappoint.
Gave the bike a good clean. WD40'd the spokes, cleaned and oiled the chain. I am done! #motosky #motorbike #motorcycle
Did another run, maybe 7 or 8 laps, then a 7yo on a pit bike showed up. I know when I'm beaten. #motosky #motorbike #motorcycle #beertime
Up to about 20 laps now and I'm starting to talk to my ancestors. Arms numb, never mind hands. #motosky #motorbike #motorcycle
I'll be honest, the tractor parked across the top of the track there caught me by surprise! #motosky #motorbike #motorcycle
Good news. Big Suze is back with new fork tubes and seals! Weather permitting I'll go for a run somewhere tomorrow. Just need to figure out where. #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycle
Supertwins, first lap at Moyrourkan, #Tandragee100 #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycle
Supertwins on now, but a torrential rain shower comes on after a dry first lap. #tandragee100 #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycle
MD, winner of the first open race, from Mike Browne and Connor Cummings. #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycle
MD flies past Moyrourkan Hall, qualifying at the #Tandragee100. Given that I'm fully sober it's poor footage. Must do better tomorrow. #motosky #motorbikes #motorcycle
Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight! If he gets a top ten on that he'll have deserved it! #motosky #motorbikes #Tandragee100 #motorcycle
Just South of Ortona is the Canadian War Cemetery. It's beautifully attended and in a lovely spot. Very moving, so many of them were just kids, 19-25 years old. #motosky #motorcycle #motorbikes
Took the bike to Ortona today, then on down the Trabocci coast. Ortona is a nice port town with a big ole castle. #motosky #motorcycle #motorbikes
Close to Roccafinadamo got caught in a deluge. Tried to hide under a tree, but it had more holes than leaves. Main concern was the phone (not waterproof) with plane tickets and all my navigation on it! #motosky #motorcycle #motorbikes
I took another pass out of CE, towards Roccafinadamo. It was encased in thick cloud - leaving me with about 15ft visibility in some places, and had BIG drops off to the right of the road. Got below the cloud eventually. #TesticularFortitude #10mph #motosky #motorcycle #motorbikes
