This episode sees us leaving the top of The Connor Pass and the ride down the other side was even better than the ride up from Dingle! Yet more stunning views greet us as we wend our way down the narrow pass and yet again we are wowed by the amazing scenery and blessed again with great weather. We can really recommend The Connor Pass as a brilliant ride.
We stop off in Ballybunion for a coffee and pass the statue of Bill Clinton on the High St - we had no idea but apparently it was one of his favourite places to play golf! The route then takes us to the Tarbert Ferry to cross the Shannon Estuary - a short 20 min crossing and then onwards to our hotel for the night in Kilkee Bay - fantastic food and Guinness has become the norm!
The following day we were greeted with yet another day of sunshine which made our visit to the famous Cliffs of Moher even better. Just when you think the ride couldn't get any more scenic we then rode the R477 coast road which was stunning, before arriving at our final destination of Galway. The night in the Latin Quarter was brilliant which is more than could be said for our accommodation. We were really disappointed in our B+B as you'll see from the video - still, you can't win them all!
We hope you enjoy this episode and it's stunning scenery as much as we did and please feel free to like, comment and share as always!
Accommodation: The Bay View Hotel £137 - The Stop B+B £128.37 (Booking.com)
The Route: Connor Pass - Tralee - Listowel - Ballybunion - Tarbert Ferry - Kilkee Bay - Doonbeg - Cliffs of Moher - Doolin - Fanore - Kinvarra - Galway

Whetting the appetite for an Ireland tour. Accommodation is always a lottery. We are regular Airbnb users and enjoy the flexibility they can offer. However,these are not risk free either and and can come with similar issues on space and amenity description. I guess it comes down to research and reviews. I also cross check locations with Google street view - this can often highlight whether parking is sufficient. Galway looked a good night - good pub, good musicians; what’s not to like! Thanks guys

Great views and glad you got good weather having done the same route many times (I live near by) its a great spot. For anyone with a bike going to Galway I would recommend FrenchVille House (Airbnb) very close the center and the owner parks his car in front of your bikes that can be parked at the back of the house. He is a bike owner himself.

Excellent video guys...just the job when I am planning my next trip to Ireland 🇮🇪.! I mean, I know it so well but there's always something to discover through fresh eyes!. I know it's built into our biking DNA to worry about the security of the bikes, but I've never had an issue in Ireland. Take an Oxford bike cover is my advice, apart from keeping the bike dry overnight it's a good deterrent from petty thieves. Oh, I did have one fright at a hotel in Ireland with no parking...I came out in the morning to find the bike gone! As I stood there shell shocked a chap from the bar came out and said they had put it in a garage down the road as there was heavy rain overnight! They had knocked on my door but I was fast asleep after a long ride..you nearly killed me with kindness i said!! Looking forward to seeing more of your travels. Cheers, Steve

Thank you Stephen! You’re absolutely right it is in our DNA to worry about bike security ! Ireland is about as safe as you can get but old habits die hard 😀 brilliant story about someone moving you bike out of the 🌧️ - I’d have had a heart attack 😂. Thanks for watching! 😀👍

Hi, I am Irish and a biker living in Wales. To be honest when I tour around Ireland I stay in airbnbs and have stayed in some lovely airbnbs with off road parking at very reasonable prices. One can tour Ireland on a budget but it takes a bit of working out tbh but its so worth it.
@midlifemotorcyclediaries

Thanks Phaedra! We sometimes use Airbnb’s but as you say it does take more planning and we don’t mind being out of a town/village as long as it’s walkable to pubs/restaurants. Thanks for your comments! 👍😀

Re Spanish Point and the Spanish Armada. The SA is the origin of the traditional Irish song - Spanish Lady. It was always a popular choice with my friends who had a folk group in Madrid. Have you also noticed how some Irish are very Spanish looking? Including an ex relative of mine!!! Some of the Spanish Armada got ashore for some R and R perhaps and their genes remain! I haven't worked out to change my name on here!!

That Connor Pass looked a great road if only there were no cars, but what views. And could this possibly be true, a BMW that used some oil? I recommend a Honda! 😉😁 Always a little worrying leaving the bike at the side of the road in a place you don't know. Quote of the video "No TV.....Shit!" A great video thoroughly enjoyed will have to find more time to watch. Glad you like my festive truck.

Great to see you tell it as it is, and call out Galway's appalling gouging of tourists. Been going on too long now. They've appointed themselves the centre of Irish culture, and charge accordingly for rubbish accommodation and food, but I always give them a swerve (and I'm Irish). Onwards to Sligo and beautiful Donegal!

The pubs in Galway as you found out , are great, the main street is locally called "Spanish Arch" Its a great city, shame the B&B took the edge off your stay but the Guinness makes up for it Brian!! looking forward to your next episode to get more ideas!

Guessing you're back in Blighty so wondering if Connemara is coming up on the next instalment? My 1st major tour, after getting "big bike licence" was The Emerald Isle and the beauty just knocks you for six. Not just the scenery but the people - so friendly, helpful....others could learn a lot by spending time in both the Republic and Northern. Jeez my 1st morning waking up 40 miles south of Dublin and stupidly I laid my bike down (left the disc lock on) - bent gear changer, loose mirror etc I had to get assistance standing the bike back up and then hobble back to Dublin. Once there one phone call and soon my motorcycle was returned fixed *at no cost* I offered drink money but it wasn't accepted...you'd struggle to find similar on mainland UK. Met some fella at Killarney International Youth Hostel who lived in Stoke but born'n'bred Dubliner....we chattered for hours. I'd go back in a flash but want to travel further first but health issues personally and globally put a kibosh on that for the last few years.....hopefully 2023 will be a better year

Hi Phil, yes we’ve been back for quite a while now - planning on going back hopefully next year to do the second half - Connemara and the North,etc🤞- I’ve done exactly the same with my disc lock years ago 😱 felt like such a numpty!

Thanks very much! We’re glad you enjoyed our Irish adventures 🍀 we’d certainly recommend it for anyone’s “to do” list! Sue’s sat nav is a Garmin BMW Navigator V which she originally had on her BMW 700 GS! 😀👍

Another great video. How do you pre-book the weather? Fantastic. Good reviews of the hotels, thanks. I definitely will not stop at The Stop. Safe travels

Galway, and Ireland as you have learned is about community fun, not B&B rooms, they are for sleeping!

Thanks Noel! You’re absolutely right it is about fun and we certainly don’t mind B&Bs that aren’t a complete ripoff! 😀👍

Envious. Only 2 1/2 months until bike season starts again In Wyoming. Hopefully. Global warming has changed to a new mini Ice Age here.😎
