FFS. Poor hoor.

I have noticed there are points in Irish roads that buses/coaches travel on that in a certain situation, they won't be able to avoid a crash.

The turn is so tight that the bus/coach/whatever has to break the white line of the road.

Combine that with modern jeeps/wide cars and I have seen some close calls.

Nah the gap is a total nightmare every week end....if the police were to camp that place for one weekend alone they would not have the space in the jails for the **** that goes on up there bike wise.

jesus the poor feckers hope there both alright , but just goes to show ya this aint a racetrack lads no marshalls or flags on these roads ....Bank holiday weekend boys BE CAREFUL ...

Considerin the amount of bikes and other traffic, theres not been too many bad accidents....its usually newbies tryin too hard too soon....fabulous road ,a very enjoyable spin...its annoying (read dangerous) that the fast guys sometimes dont consider it might be some riders first visit and overtake at stupid places and dont leave enough room ....bit like mondello then..:p


Love it.....:)


AFAIK..both riders are ok.....one (brit guy) had bad leg injuries....

I mean the guys with the €1000 dainese or alpinestars leathers with the price tags still on and litre bikes that are cleaner now then when they bought them new....instead of chicken strips they have qtr pounders and the only thing that gets well worked on a trip over the gap is the brake light!

We all know them, I am just saying what everyone else is thinking :eek:

Nearly happend to me twice....when I was up there with a small group of lads. The 2nd time one of them crashed and the others did not even stop or come back for him!!! Have it all on my helmet cam too....
