Saint Scuithin is the patron saint of Castlewarren, Castlewarren is a small lesser know village in Kilkenny. You actually drove through Castlewarren before in a previous video. I don't know if they are the same people but I found it very interesting you mentioned his name in this video.
I found out the proper spelling just after uploading this video 🤦♂️ No wonder Scoheen was returning no results 😂 Reckon you’re right, it probably is the same person, cheers Eoghan!
Thank you so much for such a great episode of places I will never seen with out you
Thanks so much , glad you enjoyed it 😄
Thoroughly enjoyed this run out! More please young sir!
Well said. I totally agree 😊
Love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
‘Stable weather ‘ in Ireland means exactly that- you can’t get the horse out of the stable 😂
Very good 😂
I absolutely love the old churches 😁👌. Looking forward to more 😏🍻
Cheers John! More on the way soon 😁
I’m sure the best way of exploring these places is by bike. I genuinely think you’re adding so much more value to your ride but at the same time the bike adds so much more value to the experience too.
Absolutely fascinating videos. Expertly presented
Cheers, Graham! Agree with you there, exploring these kinds of places by motorbike just screams adventure to me. 😁
Fantastic! Captivating history, architecture, and the stunning Bullet 500, what more could one possibly desire? Keep crafting these marvelous episodes please!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it ! More on the way soon 😁
Love old churches and castles
These are beautiful old derelict buildings with so much history
Well 😊😊
Thanks for sharing and I agree don’t you just get sick of reviews sometimes 😊😊😊😊
Phil
Thanks Phil! It's great to finally be able to just get out and about exploring on the bikes as the weather improves 👌
Excellent video...Irish scenery, motorcycle, historic buildings, ( ruins!), and our genial host...what more could we want!! ( apart from some sunshine 🌞). Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, you're too kind. 😁 More sun soon! 🤞
Another cracking video Brendan,keep them coming.👏
A very nice and informative video,please do more.Thanks 🍀🍀🍀
Cheers Copper! Will do 👍
Loved the video it is good to see you out on Daisy Bell dear pilgrim and blessed Brother Brendan.
Thank you, Father Fox 😂
Classic Wanderer opening 😂 Gorgeous sites, particularly the first one 😍 and yes, any Irish person post 1649 struggles to say THAT name.... 😢😪😋
Thanks Ferdia! Must’ve been the ghosts of my ancestors protesting through me 😂
Very entertaining Brendan, thanx for the video. The background information on Irish history is worth learning about too.
Thanks Simon! I'm enjoying learning more about it as I go too, a lot of stuff that was learned in school is slowly coming back to me now 😂
Thoroughly enjoyed your video ,keep em coming Brendan 👍
Cheers Kev! Will do 😁
Your channel gives me great joy, long may you carry on 👍
Thanks Mark! Glad to hear it 👍
Great video, a good balance kept of on and off bike content throughout, with some good history too. I'd definitely enjoy seeing more of these.
Good to hear you enjoyed it 😁 Cheers!
Very enjoyable Brendon, thank you 😊 We don’t have anything like that in Australia. It makes me want to go to Ireland and stay in that castle 🤔
Cheers Felix! There is a lot of natural beauty in Australia that I'd love to explore one day. Via Bullet of course 😁
Och ! trouble with Normans and Cromwell, same here in Scotland
It’s always “De Normans” 😂
Great video Brendan on and off the bike, some lovely country roads and very interesting about those ruins that I never knew about in the county
Thanks Andy! There's a lot of great roads in Kilkenny, love just spending an afternoon seeing where each one leads 👍
Thanks for the history lessons. Your county roads remind me of the ones I enjoy in Wisconsin.... which are a bit wider....without being lined with stonewalls.....also like the cities more and more " round abouts " are being added and old 4 way stop sign intersections have been changed to roundies... . farm tractors are found... on occasion a wandering cow who somehow left the farm.... another danger.. deer... sadly lost a friend years ago to Bambi.... Therre are no old structures... perhaps a church from the early 1900's.... .. near LaCross, Wisconsin is a French cemetery with graves dated to the 1700's... and why are all farmers called John ? but in southern Wisconsin there's a lot of Amish... .... so they'd be called... Joseph ? 😏
Glad you enjoyed it, Mike! We get the occasional wayward cow here too. Sorry to hear about your friend, that’s rotten luck. As for why farmer John, it’s the first name that came to mind 😅 Jimmy or Pat is probably more common round these parts !
Well done, pardon the pun.. great video & keep them coming.. cheers from Oz mate..
I well forgive you this time 😉 cheers Phil!
Smashing good ride and more wonderful history from my Bullet bro' over the pond! I found an architectural feature you point out at the Ballylarkin Church to be very fascinating...the stone corbels. This feature is also over here in the SW USA! I have MANY of them, carved in heavy Fir timbers, as structural members in my house, aka, "Oddball Manor". It is remarkable how certain aspects of history that would seem isolated to one locale can be found many thousands of miles away as well. We are connected, and always have been. Took Oddball for a ride a few days ago. It was glorious. Looking forward greatly to more Bullet fun.
Cheers Brian! Remarkable indeed, makes the world seem more interconnected 😁 Glad you've finally gotten to take Oddball out this year, about time too! 😄
Well well well 🤦🏻♂️ As always, love the history mixed with your subtle humour. Great job 👌🏼
Cheers Saddlebags 👍 Sometimes the humour is subtle, and other times, well... it's not 😂
Always makes i chuckle 😆
Pvt Holmes seems to have been a member of the US army, judging by the fact his grave notes that he had the Purple Heart. An Irish Doughboy!
Well spotted, Steve, and right you are! I didn't even pick up on that, that's very fascinating! He probably would've been part of the 100 days offensive in the AEF.
Nice and interesting video. It's very curious to see the difference between Ireland (and the uk) and Italy. Very different roads and countryside and very different history.
One thing that's really remarkable is the accessibility to all of this lovely places; they are all near a road. Were i live (Livorno, Tuscany) I have basically nothing like that, and the very few things that we have are bloody difficult to reach, you usually have to hike a bit or do a technical bit of off-road.
Ps: how is the Hitchcock exhaust going? It looks a bit beaten up and oxidized. Is it the new stainless steel one? I wanted to purchase it but now I'm not so sure.
Pps: sorry for my awful English.
Thanks Leonardo! We're very lucky here in Ireland to have such accessibility indeed, something I take for granted! Hiking in motorcycle gear, quite exhausting! The exhaust is, I believe, 7 or 8 years old at this stage? I got Daisy in October 2020, so I've been riding with the exhaust on for around 3 years now. I wouldn't let how Daisy's appears in this video disuade you from buying one. It's more muddy and dirty than oxidized, I need to use some Belgom and 000 Wool to get it shining again (same as her engine casing!).
Ps: Your English is perfect, don't worry!
What a cool trip this was. And interesting ruins too. By the way: how's the tank bag coping with all that damp weather?
Cheers! Bag is holding up perfectly fine , inside everything is dry, a couple white marks outside from the wet/dirt from the road but they’re easily brushed off, nothing permanent . I think it’s aging quite nicely .
It really looks great.
3 Irish ruins, hmmm! What about democracy being the 4th?
Don't know I could fit that into a 20 minute video 😂
I know the RE Bullet is getting on a bit, and surely a bit crumbly in places, I would possibly say that ‘medieval ruins’ is a bit strong. You know best though mate, you’re the one having to ride the old boneshaker….. :) :)
👏😂 very good!
