Pm,D....
but further to the pm. if you base yourself in around my gaff. you are at the start of the A2 coast road. you have to ride that road and midweek its always empty. up through larne,towards Ballycastle and portrush,you can take a spin round the NW200 course and donagal west coast is only an hour away
bike safety wise its pretty good up north, not unheard of the odd one maybe goes missing but its not a regular thing.
places to avoid ? well not really anything because bikers are just bikers over here and nobody looks twice at them. even on like blue bikes lol
if you do go ahead with the trip il send you my number and we can have a proper chat about places to stay depending were you wana end up but il not see you stuck for somewere to put your head down hows that.. you would also have secure parking here if you wanted to do day trips into the like belfast.
the Armoy road races are the last weekend in july if thats of interest. completly insane road race by the way.
