Snakebyte

[wiggleit]

Just got back yesterday aft from the Snakebyte Rally (hosted by Quay Vipers) near Colraine N Ireland.

Left last Thurs - 11 whole days after passing my test.

Headed off in a convoy of 14 seasoned bikers.

Had an amazing time. Good music, lots of beer.

Unfortunately only 4 showers and 8 loos for close on 2,000 people!!!!

Amazing beaches over there, clean soft sand, huge breakers.

Fantastic roads ...didn't see any traffic police in 5 days there

My riding has improved immensely, as has my confidence in my bike.

Paid the obligatory visits to Giants Causeway - amazing, and a wee half in Joey Dunlop's bar in Ballymoney.

Clocked up over 500 miles in all - had a ball.

Highly recommended

Took over 130 photos ............but here's just a taste.................
