Another fabulous production guy's, many thanks for sharing your memories with us all, superb! 👍🍻🍾🥂

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Chris, glad you enjoyed it and hope you’re well? 😀👍

[@chrisatkinson9498]

Yes, thank you Sue, all good. Should be going to the NEC in a few weeks, not sure of the date yet but it'll be midweek. Also booked up for the ABR for next year, so all good.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Excellent 👍 hopefully see you at the ABR! 😀

[@TheHdleif]

I love your trips! Fantastic filming and composition, your music choice are always spot on! I also love learning the history you give us. Keep up the great work! 😊😊

Thanks very much Mark - really glad you enjoyed the tour, we appreciate your feedback! 😀👍

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you Erwin - I agree with you but Sue’s not for turning! 😀👍😂

[@jvl4832]

I truly enjoyed this installment; Inspiring landscapes to a fitting soundtrack all packaged in a most professional manner. Brian and Sue you are truly masters of the road trip. This is a must do trip for me and the missus. Sorry, this trip has come to an end. Thank you for the hard work and taking us along. Greetings and safe travels, Jim ❤

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you Jim 🙏 we’re glad you enjoyed our little trip to Ireland - we’re sorry it came to an end too! We always appreciate your comments and support! 😀👍

[@westcoast5934]

I've enjoyed this mini series, as usual the camera work, editing and music all top class. We've been visiting Dingle for a long number of years usually for two or three nights, The Dingle pub is possibly the only one I haven't had a pint in, it might be the garish exterior that puts Me off... 😕😕With regard to accommodation We would recommend Castlewood House, a 12 bedroom guest house five minute walk out past the marina. The room are spacious and comfortable, very friendly hosts and staff, the breakfast is possibly the best in Ireland and the all important off street parking. If You ever get back to Ireland and want another Titanic experience visit the small village of Lahardane in North County Mayo, it's about 25 Km from Killala where You stayed on Your last visit. Fourteen people from the parish sailed on the Titanic, eleven were lost, there is a memorial garden with some fine sculptures in the village. When there you could have " Beer O Clock" in Leonard's, one of the few remaining Irish Pub and Grocery shops which were common in every Irish town and village up until the 1990's. Sorry if I've rambled on, hopefully Ye'll get back here again, meanwhile stay safe. Btw Sue good to see You resisting the lure of "The dark side"....😊😊

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much for the great tips for accommodation and beer o’clock! It’s always great to get inside information 👍 we really appreciate your comments and thanks again for watching! 😀👍

[@bogusm8940]

Bummer!! Hopefully this doesn’t mean it is your last trip of the year. Great job guys! I really enjoyed these episodes and the experience. I gotta get over there to ride these countries before I get too old to do so. Thanks again and see you on the next one.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you 🙏 we appreciate your support and comments as always! You really must do them before it’s too late - you’ll love them and life’s too short not to! 😀👍

[@RallyRobert976]

You could have taking the Connor pass leaving Dingle also a fabula's road back to Tralee.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks Robert - yes we fid the Connor Pass on our WAW tour and it was brilliant! 😀👍

[@GSHants]

Thanks for taking us along with you and reminding me what’s in our own back yard, sometimes too keen to leave home and explore further afield and miss what’s here. Pleased for you too that you eventually saw some blue sky and sunshine.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

You’re right, we often spend so much time travelling abroad we forget the adventures we can have in our own backyard! 😀👍

[@mikeocallaghan8892]

Yep - absolutely stunning!! Did Dingle earlier this year and had to stop gasping at the magnificent scenery as it just kept going on and on!! Lovely part of the world and special to me as my dad grew up in Tralee. Never could understand how he could leave it behind but he was forced to do so aged 21 in 1936 and came to England, met a Yorkshire woman, settled in Leeds and the rest in history. I always visit my grandparents graves in Tralee - buried in different locations as one was Catholic, the other Protestant.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks Mike - your family history sounds fascinating - big difference between Tralee and Leeds! Such a shame about having to be buried in different places because of religion. Thanks for watching 😀👍

[@pdriwsteve]

My brother and I did a tour back in the early summer with Dingle as one of our stops. So glad to see you found Foxy Jonnys bar, we had a great night in there, with the same 2 guys playing.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you 🙏 Foxy John’s bar was a real find and Dingle is a great place to spend a night! 😀👍

[@suebt8794]

Love our travels together. Thank you for including us! Ireland looks amazing. Always enjoy seeing where you stay and the food and drink ratings. Here's to many more Beer o'clocks! Xxx

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you Sue 🙏 Ireland is one of our favourite places to ride - lovely people and stunning scenery! 😀👍

[@mphigham1963]

Loved the series guys and looking forward to many more. Thanks for sharing 😀😀😀

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Martin - glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@Banditmanuk]

The Dingle peninsula looked absolutely amazing. Some of the best footage you've filmed. We were really pleased for you that the weather came good in the end. The pubs in Ireland always look interesting and live music is always extra special. Thanks for uploading the video. Best regards Richard

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Richard - we’ve always said Ireland is hard to beat when you get good weather and the pubs are great! Huge congratulations on your viewing figures for your recent vids - there’s obviously a massive audience for classic bike videos! Keep up the good work! 😀👍

[@Banditmanuk]

@midlifemotorcyclediaries Thanks. It's been slightly surreal seeing the viewing numbers, but it's probably just a weird KZbin blip.

[@simonp75381]

Great scenery, will produced, good music what else could anyone want . Keep up the good work!

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Simon, we’re glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@brianfarrelly7151]

Another action packed couple of days with all your usual professional touches. Well Sue, did you enjoy your ice cream at Inch beach ? Murphy’s in Dingle claim to make one of the best products in Ireland and while I’ve tried it, I’m not sure that it’s the best. And while Ireland tends to be quite expensive for accommodation and eating out, prices in Europe have climbed too. There is no doubt that the wild Atlantic way has introduced major improvements in our infrastructure and our economy has benefited from that but we need to improve further. Great to see you back - looking forward to your next series. Thanks MMD.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Brian 🙏 Sue certainly loves her ice creams! You’re right about Ireland’s prices increasing but they’re going up everywhere, I think people are trying to claw back losses from Covid. Thanks again for watching and commenting! 😀👍

[@Motorbikesandlife]

Great video as always and great production thank you

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much, we appreciate your comments and thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@DaveLawton-i5s]

Brilliant video, one of my top 5 rides in the world, and I have done 66 countries, IRELAND is the hidden Gem, well done stay safe❤

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much David 🙏 we agree about Ireland being a hidden gem and we haven’t done anywhere near your amount of travelling! We really appreciate your comments and thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@jimweagant8920]

Great video thanks for the ride along

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Cheers Jim, glad you enjoyed it! 😀👍

[@volksmania114]

A great tour which I enjoyed coming along with you both. I can't wait for your next adventure, ride safe

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much, we appreciate your comments and thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@MotoTourIreland]

Showing Ireland very well. Love the video. The Dingle Peninsula should be done before 9am if you can. Traffic and buses are near zero. In summer.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you 🙏 we think you’re right 👍 the earlier the better! Either way, it’s still a fantastic ride - thanks for watching! 😀👍

[@MotoTourIreland]

​@@midlifemotorcyclediariesGreat video.

[@pipmcscot7078]

Great series guys, maybe now youve sampled the GSA instead of your Triumph, you should try the new 1300 gsa ???? Usernamekate loved it, have a watch

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you 🙏 I saw Usernamekate’s review - looking good! Sue’s adamant she won’t be changing anytime soon! 😀👍

[@5coaly]

Great video as usual. Very annoying re: the noise at Cobh. Ireland looks amazing but it's such a lottery with the weather. Loving those pubs tho. Sue, still not tempted to to dark side yet then??! 😉 Well finally, after a year without a bike I've finally bought one. Bri will be pleased as it's an F800GS. 😊 Can't wait to get riding again. 👍 Take care. Julie xx

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very much Julie 🙏 Ireland is amazing as long as you accept whatever weather you get 🤷‍♀️! Great to hear you’ve got a new bike sorted - hope you have many great adventures on it! 😀👍

[@leeandjancruise]

Excellent, thanks for sharing, editing must have taken forever so well done along with the presentation. Can't leave without mentioning Cobh, as cruisers we visited last year and it was just as when you visited quite busy especially the Mauretania bar, we visited the Titanic memorial gardens, it's well maintained and just a short walk along the coast, the names of those lost are etched in thick glass panels, it's emotional. Ride safe.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thank you 🙏 we thought it might be a place you would have visited being a popular cruise destination! We really enjoyed it, much more than our ill fated attempt to visit the Titanic museum in Belfast! 😀👍

[@leeandjancruise]

@@midlifemotorcyclediaries Yep been to Belfast too but we didn't visit the Titanic museum to save time, Belfast was buzzing not what we expected.

[@mandolinlad1]

Lovely day for a beautiful ride😀👍🏼

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

It certainly is! 😀👍

[@stalbansbiker]

We've done the Dingle Peninsula on a tour of Eire what a great place and people great video

Ireland looks amazing,we will need to see a Sue review, of the new Tiger 800 sport, when it's available 🏍️🏍️

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks Kevin, Ireland is amazing - if you haven’t been I’d definitely put on your list! 😀👍

[@iandalby4273]

Happy Crimbo to you and Sue hoping the New Year is kind to us all,love your vlogs xxxx

Thanks very much Ian - hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! 😀👍

[@patjohnson2259]

Hi guys great video as usual, petty you missed a visit to the South Pole Inn in Annascaul, the home of the famous Antarctic explorer Tom Crean.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks very Pat - didn’t know about The South Pole Inn or would definitely have visited - next time! 🤞😀👍

[@boblynch7535]

I just saw the Tiger on Slea Head with both the high beams and the fog lights on. Please let me know how you pulled that off! Thanks

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Thanks Bob - I think Sue accidentally hit the full beam button 🙄 - can’t believe you were actually on the same road ! 😀👍

[@russcattell955i]

Inch beach, I scattered my father's ashes in the surf while drinking his whiskey.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

Great place for memories Russ! 😀👍

[@brianfraser2495]

Ice cream in Ireland? I wonder what a Guiness with a scoop of ice cream would be like. This would no doubt horrify a purist, though.

[@midlifemotorcyclediaries]

😱😱😱 no thanks Brian - I’ll stick to my Guinness and Sue can stick to her ice cream! 😀😂👍
