Irish Motorcycle Photo Rally on my Royal Enfield Bullet 500!

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Ah thanks brendan. Thos gates are from time when ireland had loads of landed gentry with massive estates. I think the manor was owned by the brune family. I live in carlow town and it was great you did the carlow point first. Thank you

[@BulletWanderer]

Dang, wish I'd researched this history before, would've added a lot to the video! Thanks again Gerald. 😁

Hi Brendan, always enjoy these videos visiting historical sites. Thanks for mentioning the Photo Rally, I hadn’t heard of that but after watching your video I looked it up. I intend to enter this year and see how many of the 24 I can get to. Ride safe ☘️👍

[@BulletWanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it Gareth, more on the way soon 😁 Best of luck with the photo rally! Good for getting out and just having an adventure 😄

[@leehenty3777]

Impressed you overtook a car, on mine the only scalps have been tractors and lorries on hills

[@kandrews1960]

I absolutely love your videos! Great shooting, scenery and entertainmemt. From one Bulleteer to another, well done!

[@BulletWanderer]

Appreciate that, Keith, cheers to you and your Bullet! 😁

[@michaelcowcill4936]

Thanks

[@BulletWanderer]

Thanks so much Michael, that's very kind of you! 😁

@ 3.03 Yeap it does age great. I think it could benefit from some kind of leather wax from time to time but it really completes the looks great.

[@BulletWanderer]

The bag and my leather jacket both could do with a bit of waxing. Think my friend Marty has some that I may borrow before the summer riding season 😁

[@jannerfox9292]

Good luck with the photo rally, alot of the group are doing it for years if you need ang advice or want company.

[@Vivoy-wq8eu]

She suits you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@wilfamos7314]

Good work Sir! Nice photo at the end. Good luck with your driving lessons. Music levels way better. So nice to hear your lovely bike. Thanks as ever Mr BW.

[@BulletWanderer]

Cheers Neil! 6 down, 6 to go!

[@wilfamos7314]

@@BulletWandererLearning to drive is tricky, but your bike experience will be invaluable. When I was an ADI, the biggest challenge was getting learners to scan the road ahead to work out what to do. Scan, near, middle and far. You do that already, so it should be a piece of p.... cake! As ever, mirrors, mirrors and obs obs (obervations). There are loads of ADI that put out stuff on youtube that can be very useful for learning out of the car. Good luck.

I don't have a car license either but got motorcycle license at 50. But they're making me do two years of green Ps on top of a year of red Ps, like I'm a 23yr old. It's a blessing really, otherwise I'd be looking constantly at Triumph Thruxton RS 1200 or T120, or some big HD I've no right to be riding. This way I get to ride my Bullet for a couple more years at least.

[@twinphill900]

Good one, mate. You sound like you might be in Australia 🇦🇺 👍In the long run, it's better. You can safely build up your skills.

[@staryjanek]

Saddle soap or beeswax for your leather bag, will help it last for years, you have to watch out for mould/fungus too and these products will help :) "Step it out "is also V pop here in Scotland :) And we followed you up to Carlow :)

[@BulletWanderer]

I’ll keep an eye out for those next time I’m buying bike stuff , cheers 😁

[@goldilocks913]

Fly my beauty, fly!!!! ✊

[@diarmuidmoriarty3449]

They changed the Carlow photo point because the location of the original, the Ploughing Championship monument was causing some bother to locals. So they made the arch the new point.

[@BulletWanderer]

Ahhh that makes much more sense , wasn’t quite sure what they meant on the listing on the site . Cheers Diarmuid !

[@Lee-70ish]

Great post mate. Easy going and laid back like these wonderful bikes Not had the 500 but got the 350 classic red chrome reborne Why did I go from a Kawasaki 900 to a little classic. Same reason you love your 500. Soul and Character

[@BulletWanderer]

The Classic 350 Red and chrome is a solid choice 👌🏻 Cheers!

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

Amazing Gates Brendon Great little ride Love it 😊😊

[@BulletWanderer]

Thanks Phil, great to be out when the weather's good!

[@Vivoy-wq8eu]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnlacaze4811]

That's some great lookin riding over there! Something about a bullet that dresses up a picture so nice 😎 🍻🤙

[@BulletWanderer]

Couldn’t agree more John 😁

[@andybiker2236]

Hi I new to the channel love the videos and the bike and places I am now thinking about getting a royal Enfield thank you for sharing

[@BulletWanderer]

Hi Andy, welcome to the channel, glad you've been enjoying the videos! Good community of commenters here if you ever need help deciding on a RE. 😁

[@motormikeb1047]

perhaps once weather improves... visit local club-cycle events :)

[@BulletWanderer]

Might do ! I know there’s a regular bike meet up in my home town of Tramore 😄

[@geraldscott4302]

There are Circle Ks in Ireland?? I live in Arizona, U.S. We are one of only two states that I now of that have Circle Ks. That's where I usually get my gas and coffee. About one more month and it will be time to put my 2013 Bullet away for the long hot summer.

[@BulletWanderer]

Lots of them! To my knowledge only since 2017 I can remember them, but they could've been here before then 😅 Put away the Bullet for the summer? That's some of the best Bullet times though? 😨

[@geraldscott4302]

@@BulletWanderer Unfortunately temperatures here reach 110-112 degrees F (44-45 degrees C) and I just can't ride in heat like that. I used to do it back when I was younger, but it was miserable. Now it's downright dangerous. I didn't realize there were so many Circle Ks. Just checked Wikipedia. Circle K has 9,799 stores in North America, 2,697 stores in Europe, and an additional 2,380 stores operating under franchise agreements worldwide. I have been to most of the U.S. states, and have only seen them in two, far more in my state than anywhere else.
