My First Ever Solo Motorcycle Trip To Ireland Day 1 BMW S1000r 

Thank you for videoing. Enjoyable watch. Viewing from Northern Ireland.

Brilliant vlog Martyn keep up the great work 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪 I’m guessing you won’t be coming to Armagh ? 😂

The 182 on the Irish BMW up in front of you on the ferry indicates the bike was registered in the second half of 2018.

Looking brilliant buddy. Bet my late brother would have enjoyed this as when in the Paras they wasn’t allowed in Southern Ireland.

SS DUNBRODY Irish famine ship brought so many IRISH emigrants to Canada and the USA during the Famine. So there you are Martyn.

When I drove in Ireland from Dublin in June this year for the first time I set the Garmin sat nav to kms, set up the destinations, set up the blocks to avoid the toll on the Dublin port motorway before boarding, and zoomed off. The traffic lights were the hardest part, going straight from Red to Green without the amber time to wake up phase. Dublin old part resembles London, in all its aspects. The countryside is beautiful but empty. Plenty of space for those EU boat trippers...

Great video, glad you’re enjoying your Irish road trip.👍

You are ONE LUCKY sausage to live in a country where trips and scenery are at your doorstep sort of. You certainly make me very jealous. Remember, we ONLY got one life. Live it too the FULL extend!!!

Loved the video Martin one of your best. Enjoy Ireland.

Hey martin, you are going to love Ireland. I lived in Galway for 10 years, but back in blighty now. I miss it nearly every day. A couple of things -- Are you aware you can switch the bikes dash to read in km/h instead of mp/h? It'll likely be buried in the settings somewhere, all digital dash's are capable of this afaik. Also, a quick explanation of Irish number plates -- The bike in front of you on the ferry was registered in 2018, 2nd half, in Cork. This is easy to tell as the plate began with 182-C -- The first two numbers are the year, and the third number is the half of the year in which it was registered. The Letter denotes county in which it was registered. Where you are right now is KilKenny, so KK is the local plates. After the letter, its just a serial number, and in places like Dublin, you'll see these going into the 5 digits.

Nice seeing the boat journey and Waterford did that journey to Tipperary at 4am when we moved here in 2022 enjoy.

Hi Martyn. My brother and his wife are in Ireland on holiday at the moment. They've just left Cork, and on their way to other places at the moment. Looks a little overcast to say the least, but views look lovely🤣. Your mic sounds fine, can't hear any wind noise. Although, when you stop, that is when you hear the sound of silence is actually deafening😊. May not be the case, but have a look for a new helmet when in Ireland, the cost may be cheaper than here, but as I say, might be the case. Just watching as you drive down to the port, and I watched a video of Mozza not so long ago, and he was delivering a vehicle into Ireland, and I'm almost positive he used the Fishguard ferry. Saw the two coaches as you drove onto the ferry, and thought that my brother and his wife would be on one of them, but they weren't on those, they went with Legers. I just wish though on Sat Navs, when it says fast or slow route, motorway, etc, they'd include a scenic route. Then it wouldn't take you straight onto a fast road. The Dunbrody is what's called a Famine Ship taking immigrants to the new world. The ship was built (this one's a replica) was built in Quebec. Its a floating museum

Martyn, you probably know that when you were in New Ross you were in the home of Nolans.

Would not be a Jenko vid if you did not get lost. Fantastic ride there buddy. So brave.

Those funny noises at pedestrian crossings are for those of us with visual impairment

The roadworks between Whitland and Narberth been there 4 years 😢
