Top speed last year was 192mph on those Irish roads!! (top speed last years NW 201mph

flippin eck Tucker.. this sounds a good place to be.
As a keen photographer as well as biker nothing beats road racing for great action shots.
I'm thinking of organising a photo trip to Ireland this year, I might just have to combine some interests

I might have to pick Bink's brains too for great locations.

For the last 3 days I've been driving into work in the morning and watching as hundreds of bikes head in the other direction towards ireland.

As if just going to work dosnt spoil your day, watching that lot off for some fun certainly does.

Bag packed - Bike ready to go - hitting the road at 2!
Riding from Dublin to Belfast and then towards the coast - Brilliant bit of road! Staying just below Cushendun from where we go to the races on Saturday in Portrush.

Here's the 'track'...

I'll definitely be there next year. Was gonna do it this year, but the Storm ain't ready, and I'm going over for the TT.

Well that's the NW over for another year - shame about the weather, I think we over-tempted the weather by bringing those damn baby-grows RQ....

I'd definitely recommend the NW (or any of the meets for that matter) to the UK boys (and girls) - feckin great day. Blasted up to Portrush from Dublin at silly o'clock in the morning which meant you could sit at 110/120 the whole way, then we all stopped in Belfast on the way back for an Indian and a few beers - fookin great!
