As a biker originally from Kerry , it's great to see overseas riders enjoying what our country has to offer, love your channel and it's content , looking forward to the next episode already , ride safe.
Thanks very much! You live in a beautiful country with fantastic roads - we were probably spoiled with the weather 🌞 but totally blown away by Ireland and can’t wait to go back - thanks for watching! 😀👍
Thanks for the shoutout folks! I always love somebody else’s take and vision on routes I’ve travelled and you’re doing a fantastic job. Thoroughly enjoying this series! Looking forward to more….Dave.👍🏍
Thanks very much Dave! We’re more than happy to direct people to your channel - it inspired us and I’m sure it’ll do the same for others! Keep up the great work - loved the Connemara vids and can’t wait to go there next year! 😀👍
This one is a 'cracker'. You were so lucky with the weather too. We were amazed at the wow factor that seemed to appear around every corner. We did north to south, so the rear view camera helps recognition of where you are! Healy Pass is on the hit list for 2023. Love the channel guys.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it and it brought back memories 👍 the Healy Pass definitely a must do ride next time you’re there. Thanks for watching! 👍😀
😀Gidday Brian and Sue. Great job on the video and another great part of the adventure. Epic riding thru the Healy Pass and what way to end the trip than Beer Oclock. "May the Guiness be with You" LOL Cheers Paul👍👍🍻🍻
Hi Guys - your video was recommended as I am an Itchy Boots watcher and I loved the content. It brought back memories of the Ring of Kerry trip I did with my daughter just after we lost my wife/her Mum and we had cracking weather like you. Are all your videos this good! I have now got your back catalogue to enjoy.
Thanks very much! We’re glad you enjoyed watching our adventures and hopefully it brought back nice memories. Sorry to hear of your loss. We hope you enjoy our other videos too - we’re learning all the time and try to keep improving 👍 thanks for watching and commenting! 😀👍
Ah, the Healy Pass. Been there - done that at the end of May this year. What a cracker and you had similar weather as we had. Definitely do that again. We followed up with the Connor and and Black Mountain Passes. What a great place Ireland is. Must go again.
Thank you Paul! We certainly were blessed with the weather 🌞 we also did the Connor Pass - Ireland is one of our favourite places to ride - we’ll be back. Thanks for watching! 👍😀
Wow what a fantastic journey and the Healy pass. well I'm stunned with the beauty. Great vlog as always and i love the history lesson along the way. All the best
Excellent video guys...glad you liked the fab Healy Pass..never tire of riding it!. There is another great pass between Bantry and Glengariff called the Priest's Leap...next time! Look forward to seeing the next episode, cheers, Steve
Wow that’s quite a tragic story about Healy Pass. As a biker, when I’m in a car driving over twisty roads, I think “I want to come back and ride this on my bike!”. I think all bikers have those thoughts. I winterized the Harleys as we have snow and freezing temps in Wyoming. Keep those videos coming for we poor “blokes” in Wyoming who are forced into our cars for the next few months until the roads thaw and the temps warm, in March. Or April. Or May. Great ride!😎👍
Thank you Bill! It is a tragic story 😳 it was certainly tough in those days. We always feel the same when we’re in a car driving amazing twisty roads - wishing we were on 2 wheels! 😀👍
Stunning vlog once again from you both, this vlog made me look at the digital photos I have on my PC from when we visited, I was shocked to see it was 2006 when we were there in the Audi TT, how time flies, I was also double shocked to notice on one photo that I'm wearing the same light cardigan that I have on now, how embarrassing but hey with the price of heating. Ride safe both.
We really enjoyed watching, Carol and I would love to do that road and Healey Pass looked stunning. Just luck getting really great weather and you certainly got that. If only we could pre-book the weather before a tour.
Thanks for another great episode. Between you and Dave from Wheeliegood, I’m wondering if we should rethink our itinerary and go to Ireland instead of Scotland… (We on,y have time and money for one of them.)
Thanks again Marco! They’re both fantastic countries to tour especially if you get good weather 🌞! Sadly, that’s a complete lottery 🤷♂️ - you’ll just have to come back and do Ireland the next time! 😀👍
O....M....G, this is another beautiful video with beautiful scenery, thank you both for posting. But I do want to mention something, if I ever come across you guys I will secretly keep following you until it's 🍺 O' Clock time 🤣🤣 I wul you guys one more personal question, can I share this video for my Facebook friends? That includes bikers. If it bothers you guys I won't do it and take my word for it. 👍😃❤❤
Thanks very much Erwin! Beer O’Clock is always a good time! 😂🍺 glad you enjoyed it and feel free to share it with anyone 👍 thanks again for watching and commenting! 😀👍
@@midlifemotorcyclediaries This is really enjoyable, but first and foremost, thank you guys for posting and the time and energy you put into it. And that's heartfelt 😃👍 and thanks for letting me share it. Greetings from Belgium Erwin.
Absolutely stunning landscape and those drone shots were spectacular….and all that under blue skies!! you’ve taken me out of my November gloom . Looks like a must do trip… thank you Brian and Sue; you’ve nailed another great video to your list. Soundtrack as always was perfect…greetings from Berlin, Jim
Hi folks dave here no not that dave!!!' wheely good tv' ....reet cany fella well he is origanally from north east😉....doz some great vids ..like yu say showing us ireland ...👍👌ps i like your map style showing routes....atb we missed healy pass due to very 💦💦💦💦💦😏
Thanks Carol and Dave! “Not that Dave”! Yes he is a canny fella from the North East 👍 such a shame you had bad weather and didn’t get to do the Healy Pass ☹️ - you’ll have to go back and drink more Guinness! Thanks for watching! 😀👍
Great vid guys. The ride looks awesome. How hilly in general is the tour of Ireland? Is a big bike essential? I've done London to Vienna thru the Alps and back on a Honda CB500 before, with no problem. Was thinking of doing this tour on a RE 350 Meteor....too underpowered? Cheers
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it! It’s not really that hilly and a big bike is definitely not essential. The truth is you can tour on any kind of bike - if you enjoy riding a 350 then absolutely use that 👍😀
Thanks very much Steve we’re glad you enjoyed it! Sadly, we don’t have any GPX files - just do things the old fashioned way and check out Google maps! 😀👍
😄Sorry, Kevin. Did my terminology make you twitch? I often drive Bri mad when I refer to the ground as the floor 🫢I'll try to remember to to say 'basin' when reviewing the bathrooms in future 😉Thanks for watching our adventures 👍
@@suegibbons2508 I worked at sea for many years and I still call the ground/floor the "deck". Strive to be your authentic self. Perfection destroys authenticity. 👍😊
Part of the fun of the WAW is being able to dip in and out of the route and see other things along the route.
Cracking footage of the Healy Pass.
It’s a stunning ride and we caught it on a beautiful day! 😀👍

The riding season in Ireland does look to be longer than out here in cold and snowy Canada. My bike is now in hibernation. Gorgeous scenery.
Another great vlog, scenic and informative, thanks for taking the time in the making.🙂
