Riding Ireland
On our honeymoon, we rented a Harley from these guys and went from Naas, to Galway, to Clifden, to Westport, and back to Naas. Here are some of the pictures.
It wasn't cheap, but I believe that Ireland has some of the best riding in the world.

nice pics! Looks like a wonderful honeymoon.
I like riding around Donegal, myself, but I may be biased (my mother's people are from there). I'm from Co. Tyrone and love riding around there and Co. Antrim, too, when get back to visit.
Ireland is a great place to ride!

Well, Donegal is kinda hard to get to; it's not a quick jaunt from anywhere. And if you go through NI, which is part of the UK, you have to watch for speed cameras and expensive petrol.
You hit some of the best riding country in Ireland. The west country is beautiful. Galway is a fun town, always, and Connemara is a lovely retreat. Not too many head up into Co. Mayo, which is every bit as wonderful as Co. Galway. So, well done.
Did you stop in Tullamore for a distillery tour? Always a fun thing to 'dew'

I really wanted to hit NI, but there's just no way to properly tour Ireland on a bike in less than 2 weeks, much less the 2 days we had the rental.

Ireland, small as it is, does take at least two weeks. As you now know, it's the roads: scenic, but slow. I'll take it as a good thing.

Lovely shots. Never been to Ireland let alone ridden there - I'm ashamed to admit I only live "across the water" in Lancashire, England. Ridden most of Western Europe & all of Scotland but never Ireland. I think it's the fact that it never stops raining there that puts most of us Brits off.........Ireland is green for a reason!
