Day 1 Well, this was the first road trip my girlfriend and I decided to go on. As in every trip we do each year, it is planned around our birthdays towards the end of April and beginning of May. We left in the afternoon if the 27th April for the 1st leg. We were planning on heading up to the lake district and spending the night there to break the journey almost in half.  The weather was not great, some light rain causing things to be a little on the chilly and damp side, but we made it to the hostel around 9 pm.Read More →

To Conclude. I rode from Killarney to Tarbert and donned the ferry to Killmer. This only took about 30mins, but the wind had brewed up some nice waves, and the deck was getting a tad wet, but we made it across safely. I decided to head to the campsite at Clifden, as according to their website, it was not far from Galway. How wrong was I! I rode over an hour to Galway and stopped to warm up at Maccers and to get some WiFi and see if there were any hostels around. There were one or two, however, I had just bought a newRead More →

Day 4 Anyway, Wednesday we split up and I headed to Dublin. Just over 3 hrs on the ferry. I was all set to stay at my mother in laws house in MultyFarnham, however, due to some miss-understandings, and arguments with the other half that didn’t happen. I decided to try and find a camping shop to buy a new tent, as I wasn’t going to sleep another night in the leaking sieve that was my current tent. I Docked just after 5 and set off on my Irish Trip. Well, I made a start! Dublin traffic is worse than London, and it was stop-startRead More →

The Honda ST1100 is an awesome bike. However, it does suffer from an issue with the electrics causing the wiring around the starter relay to melt. This can cause the bike to cut out at any time and leave you stranded by the side of the road. There are plenty of guides written on the web regarding this, however, I have not found a full video.
