Rain or shine, you always have a happy demeanor Ian. Thank you for taking us along on your Wild Atlantic Way Adventure, looking forward to what's to come.
Great to hear that you’re enjoying my video series. Ireland sure is one beautiful country to ride in 🏍️🇮🇪👍 A lot more to come in the next few episodes 😁
Good morning Ian, another morning with good entertainment 😊. What a lovely journey! Well, the weather could be much better and I feel quite sorry for you, that you hit some kind of a "wet roads" 🌧 but it's the attitude that counts, isn't it? Again, thank you so much for this new episode and I'm looking very much forward to see the next story! Best regards Toni
Hi Toni So you find my misery entertaining 😠 More misery coming up of a different kind in the next episode for you to also enjoy 🤣 The story continues 😁👍
Great rainy day... here in the armchair 😄 The beauty of the landscapes can be seen despite the weather and fortunately you didn't have to sleep in a gondola 😉
Hi Frank I’m sure the cabin would have been better than next months bothy 🤔 and that you’re enjoying watching my misery 🤣 More misery coming up in the next episode, but I still keep smiling 👍😁
Despite the rain, you remained very upbeat. Lovely roads. Obviously much better when dry. Nice to see the accommodations etc. Nae white pudding supper at chippy.😊
Hi Mark The weather does improve as the series continues, as does the scenery. I’ve tried to include more about the accommodation in the upcoming videos. The adventure and misery continues but I keep positive and smiling through adversity 🏍️🇮🇪😁👍
I look forward to your entertaining and honest vlogs, Ian. You can look at the dreich weather as 'character building'. 🤣🤣 Shame that your 2nd night lodgings weren't great, but it adds a bit of a twist to the journey. The scenery in your video still looked great considering the weather. I can't get over the condition of the roads in all your videos so far. they're fantastic. Ride safe. 🏍
Hi Ricki The story and the misery continues into the next episode, yes you’re correct, it is character building 🤣. But stay with the series there is a happy ending 😁 Plenty of amazing scenery to come on brilliant roads 😁
Great to hear that you’re enjoying my misery, sorry adventure 🤣 Yes, much better does come, please keep watching. Intrigued by your name, Tiger Rose, do you also ride a Triumph Tiger?
@@tigerness5555 hi. No i ride a Classic 350. Or at least i will when i pass my test on Friday. I am calling my youtube channel Tiger Rose Rides because i am a veteran and my main regiment was the Royal Hampshire Regiment. I have taken the two main aspects of the cap badge, the Tiger and the rose. I also also make electric guitars as a hobby and the page is called Tiger Rose Guitars
I once was in the lobby of a Motel 6 and noticed a picture with the words- " they all look the same with the lights out ". Lol. At least you warmed up some and had restaurant meals. I always think positive. Camping would have made it miserably worse. Better luck on the next days journey. 🤞🤞🤞
Hi John “All the same with the lights out”, brilliant 👍🤣 More misery coming up in the next episode, but I still keep my positive attitude 😁 Three more episodes to come, the story keeps getting better in my opinion, hope you enjoy them 👍
Ah the joys of touring in the rain 😂 thank goodness for decent waterproof’s and a heated vest 😂 bet you were glad you were on the wee bike not the tiger when you had to turn around in that little lane 😂 all the best buddy 👍
Hi Mike Yes decent gear makes all the difference, still prefer dry roads and sunshine though 🤣 With the Tiger I would have had the added advantage of heated seat and grips 🥵 More misery coming up in the next video for you to enjoy 😁👍
Ian, the Doolough pass is a beautiful ride but has a sad and tragic history to it, a very hunting place, please look up the history of the place, well worth the time and effort
Hi, thanks for the info, I looked into it. The tragedy of the famine walk was indeed so terrible. Man’s inhumanity to man still continues today when you look at the terrible events around the world. Such a shame that it doesn’t have to be this way. I hope you’re enjoying my video series of the Wild Atlantic Way 🏍️🇮🇪👍
@@tigerness5555 yip I do enjoy watching them Ian, did a lot of ride outs when I was chairman of the North Antrim m c c, have a little 350 Meteor as well as the big Bandit the wee big is so much lighter and when your our age that matters, just returned from the Western Isles and she never missed a beat, happy trails
Nice video I would of enjoyed it more if you spent more time reading things like that one about the cross ocean air flight Not being critical I still enjoyed them Thank you
Hi Bob Great to hear that you’re enjoying my video series of the Wild Atlantic Way. Good idea, I’ll keep your thoughts in mind for future travel videos 👍
Great to hear that you’re enjoying my video series on the Wild Atlantic Way. Have to stop moving my head around as much 🤣. I’m not a professional TH-camr and try to make the best videos I can with the equipment I’ve got. Always trying to improve. Hope you continue to enjoy the series 👍
@@tigerness5555 certainly am,it’s strange hearing a Scots man complaining about the weather as every time I’ve been in Scotland it’s raining,I live in Ireland so it doesn’t bother me that much👍🏻
Great to hear that you’re enjoying the channel 👍 As for the pannier mounts used on this trip, there a combination of parts. The panniers are Givi items from my Triumph Tiger 900. As Givi do not make a pannier fitting kit for this bike I had to make my own. Full details of how I did this can be found in two of my earlier videos, see links to them below. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video. Do you find the screen makes any difference to the riding experience? Just got myself a Classic 350 and dreaming about touring but not sure what it would be like after a long day
Hi Michael Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 👍 I’ve now done 9,000 miles on my bike with many long touring days. My experience of the screen is mixed. I like running in good weather without the screen as the airflow is clean and the ride enjoyable. But for longer runs I nearly always have the screen on. It does make the ride a bit noisier but it also gives protection from the wind and rain. I’ve probably done 8,000 miles with the screen and 1,000 miles without it. It’s easy to take on and off, as are many parts on this bike. It’s a great wee bike to tour with, I’m sure you’re going to love it 🏍️😁
Rain or shine, you always have a happy demeanor Ian. Thank you for taking us along on your Wild Atlantic Way Adventure, looking forward to what's to come.
The story continues, and in my opinion it gets better and better.
Great to hear that you’re enjoying my wee GS adventure 🏍️👍😁
Did the same route many years ago.. .Fantastic... love Love LOVE western Ireland..
Great to hear that you’re enjoying my video series. Ireland sure is one beautiful country to ride in 🏍️🇮🇪👍
A lot more to come in the next few episodes 😁

Ok you had me with the wooden cabins 🤣, taking the rough with the smooth indeed, glad to see your spirits are still up despite the "summer weather"
Hi Frank
I’m sure the cabin would have been better than next months bothy 🤔 and that you’re enjoying watching my misery 🤣
