    Has anyone ever traversed the six counties of Munster in six hours on a motorbike? Just wondering, as I intend doing it and would be interested as to what route others may have taken.

    Cheers folks!

    Not if you want to enjoy yourself and actually get to ride the scenic routes and fun roads. Dingle peninsula, Ring of Kerry via the Skellig ring, the Killarney to Kenmare road, Mollys gap to Glangarriff, on to Kinsale etc. I did something similar during the summer and it was 3 days worth (took in Clare, Limerick, Kerry and Cork with missus on the back taking it handy and stopping regularly to take it all in). Personally i wouldnt waste the petrol but if its some sort of goal your going for good luck :)

    Edit: And to answer your question I havent ha, but id wager you could plan it real quick with regional roads and motorways.

    Shur from the Limerick bypass you could "traverse" 3 of them inside of 10 minutes... :D

    But I agree, it would be an awful boring drive. Why not just plan a nice scenic route and don't worry so much about ticking boxes? In addition to the suggestions above, one of my regular short(ish) spins out of Limerick would be to take the N69 along the estuary and just before Listowel hang left and return by the West Limerick Way (the old road running between the N69 and the main road back from Abbeyfeale).

    Ring of Beara is a fantastic spin, less touristed than the ROK but equally stunning scenery.
