Went to this last weekend in Killarney (300+ miles away for me). Was a great event, billed as a festival for all bikers and non-bikers but I was well impressed by the number of Harleys - must have outnumbered other models by 90 to 1!!
Great band on the Saturday night (Hells Bells AC/DC tribute).:newsmile048:
Brilliant weekend but was very disappointed by lack of breakdown assistance available - had immobiliser problem on Sunday morning and whilst I got plenty of advice from other bikers none of it worked and really could have done with some expert advice.
Heard an estimate of 1,000+ Harleys there and local dealer stand on site so surely someone should have thought of providing support - a broken down Harley at the roadside surely can't make for good promotion?! Even our small local rideouts have a support vehicle - think this was very poor organisation.
Anyway, enough complaining - discounting the breakdown it was a really good weekend. Rode down the east coast and across the south on Saturday, lost Sunday due to breakdown, then rode up west coast and back across to east on Monday - around Ireland in 2 days - pretty good, huh? But not as impressive as my brother-in-law who drove the same journey in one day to bring me my spare key fob down (left Monday morning 0100 and got back Monday night 1900!) - how many in-laws would do that for you?!!
Was anyone else there and what did you think?
