Quay Viper Rally 2010 / Weekend Run


Friday set out to the rally got the ferry decided not to camp, when i got there my tag was No 566 wasn't to much there bit disappointed but got my 1st rally badge in 28 years......

Saturday two boys from here decided they want to go so I go with them back on the ferry, when one of them check in, their No was 1,600 ish and a lot more bikes and stuff there far better than the day before...

Anyway some great bikes at the rally..

SOME PHOTO'S HERE

So this morning the boys decide to go to Donegal Town for a ride out a lot of bikes from the county meet there on Sundays like I said 140 mile round trip and it was cold but a great ride.

I'm always defending that it's a myth that stuff falls off Harley's, out on a run the weekend ad yes it happened, went to gear down after a long run with out gearing up or down, and nothing looked down "peg gone", luckly I found a hardware/gifts/toy-store shop open on a Sunday which is rare here.

covered just under 300 miles the weekend....

So purchased a stubby star screwdriver wrapped the shank in PCV tape to protect the thread then figure of eight wrapped the thing on the shifter, works grand.
All this is ok only for the fact I was riding with 2 BMW riders and two Jap riders, so you can image the Craic, how you get Harley parts from a toy store gonna have to put up with this one for a long long time.....

Orange County Choppers got nuffin on me.....

Autumn

Well not posted for a while, been out and about on the bike, today was the realisation that winter is on it's way the temperature was noticeably different today.

I rode through the winter last year except for four weeks between December and January couldn't even get the van out the drive with the snow, and not much winter biker clothing but this year well prepared, all the gear now, but roll on spring, gonna be a long winter...
