A load of motorbikes passing

Hey all,

Is there something going on today? About 200+ motorbikes are just going through Ballinasloe in front of me now.

What group were down in Dungarvan heading in the general direction of lismore/clonmel?

I was heading back into the town from the Sean Kelly, and exchanged waves as we passed.

Was at the biker.ie Burger Run myself. Until I get the exhaust gets sorted, crossing Ireland and not being able to exceed 70 mph except on a motorway, is just too depressing. Hope all concerned enjoyed it.

Think there was a charity run for a rape crisis centre or similar around the South East yesterday?

Good to see a lot of groups out despite our wonderful "summer" weather this weekend!!

Think the official number of bikes that left on saturday for the AAI Run was 1002, a fair number to try and marshal safely. Silly comment on not being able to 'exceed 70 mph' - if you wanted to do the AAI Run you could've easily gone ahead of the main group and waited for the convoy to arrive in Eyre Square. Sure you would've been driven mental on the way back...sure with the rain they were doing a mean 55 mph for the first couple of hours

It was good fun - 336 miles door to door two up over the w/end on the trusty Bonnie



...but queueing for juice was a pain in the rocks in Ballinasloe
