    My family is from Galway, my mother wanted to name me Donegal. I ride out of Northern NJ...planning a trip within the next 2 years to take a motorcycle tour through Ireland, I've never been and think it would be the best way to visit the island. Thank you for this fellow soul rider...

      Wow, there’s definitely a lot of Irish in your heritage. It’s an incredible vista and even more so on two wheels. You won’t regret a visit!

    Glorious scenery, Dave. Very much the type of riding that I also love to do on my old BMW Boxer, up in the Peninnes, over moorland tops, where you rarely meet any traffic, although not as wild and remote as Ireland. Glorious in summer, but can get quite bracing when the weather is rough with a strong wind blowing. It's what makes one feel alive. 👍

    • @WheelieGoodTV
      @WheelieGoodTV  2 роки тому

      I know the Pennines well. Like you say, quite bleak in the winter.

    Hi Dave, I really enjoyed that, the ambiance and pace were just perfect. Liked your choice of music too. It seemed like a chilly day, but no rain (or snow) but a nice way to explore without the traffic.
    Top quality production and interesting chat as always. Thanks.

    Donegal is a lovely part of the country Dave with some great roads to spend hours on the bike exploring. Unfortunately the last time I was around there was over 3 years ago in the lorry going to Killybegs for 25tons of frozen Fish lol

      Feck off, I'm already wishing I could get out on the bike more. BTW, I saw a small lego kit in the shop that used to be Heatons in Cavan. A golden motorbike and the rider had a camera on a selfie stick. Would probably look good on your desk 🤣

    Great subject for a video series Dave. My wife and I will be in Donegal next week. We are going back to Malin Head and following the wild Atlantic way south. We were in Malin Head in 2018 however we drove straight to Sligo and missed a lot of the passes and coastline.
    Looking forward to the next one 👍

    Another Great video Dave ! I've done that pass, spectacular scenery as you say and show so well.
    If you fancy another spin to Donegal, you should do the Mamore Gap, which when I came across it first got the adrenaline going :)
    Best approached from the South East side, in my opinion, for a view of a very straight road that climbs up to the sky !
    When you get to the top, there is a "Magic road" bit , which makes vehicles appear to be rolling uphill.
    Worth a visit and a future video hopefully.
    Regards, Colm

    Thanks Dave - looking forward to the rest of the series 👌 Spectacular scenery, like you I quite like the solitude of riding on your own - although riding in a group sometimes has its attraction 🤔, it gives you the opportunity to stop & go where you like (like Mr Vida says - take the road less travelled 🙂) Right, Off on the bike now !!🏍🏍👍👍

    That was terrific Dave...what an epic pass! I completely understand your feelings with regards to savouring the solitude and the beauty of a ride like this...I enjoy the company of riding with a friend occasionally, or going to a bike meet, but my truly happy place is riding and exploring these type of roads on my own ,lost in thought and lapping up the wonderful scenery! Hopefully back in the West of Ireland 🇮🇪 in a couple of weeks 🙏. Cheers Steve
