Title: "If you ever come across the sea to Ireland"
Post by: timbo on June 24, 2017, 09:36:50 PM: Here's a couple of dates and a suggestion. The ever popular Powers the Pot, (used to be an MZ rally, now an RE rally, but open to anyone), will be 11 and 12 August, at guess where? The Powers the Pot, in the mountains a couple of miles from Clonmel.
Then the following wknd, 18 and 19 August, the MZ Riders Club are having their UK national rally and AGM at Garrison, on the banks of Lough Melvin on the Fermanagh border, and again, I reckon we can turn up on anything.
My plan, hopefully, is to attend both, with a trip up the full length of the west coast of Ireland on Wild Atlantic Way on the days in between, and anyone who fancies it, is welcome to join me :)

Keep up the good work and the mile munching!

Will be over on the 9th for the ugp , have taken the gamble on the weather being ok and booked Sheperds rest hopefully catch up with you there before you head off on your travels .
Is anybody else heading over to watch a bunch of mad blokes thrash bikes around public roads ?
All the best

Post by: Oldandwornout on June 26, 2017, 07:22:05 PM: I'm hoping you've got your dates wrong or I'm up the creek without a paddle ? The 9th is Wednesday so will be there for Thursday's race then staying till Monday so I can see the racing Saturday 12th and also want to see some of NI's sights ie giants causeway and joeys etc.
Hopefully catch up with yourself , Tony and Chris at some point for a beer.
Cheers Mark
Ps all welcome .

That's a very kind offer , if I get evicted from Sheperds rest for deviant behaviour I'll look you up (only joking ) once again that's very generous .
Cheers Mark :)
