    Going for a two day trip just tank bag....

    And I will see what mileage I can get to a tank with slower riding as on my own I tend to scratch a bit on the nice roads around here and the light comes on at about 160 to 170 miles... I reckon I will get to 200 this time. As madame is coming with me

    Nope going by the fauna and style of road and walls it's in Ireland somewhere.

    I guess somewhere near right down on the south west coast. Dunmanus or Beara

    Well as Richie's location is described as Allihies, and Allihies is in the far SW of Eire I think Boris is probably right.
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.
    Yamaha XT660r - slowly getting it ready for some big adventures

    Well that and the URL of the image took me in a roundabout way to Rideout to Dunmanus and Beara

    Fauna, walls and tarmac indeed.
