ABR Ireland Rally 10 to 12th May 2013 - Official Sign up Thread

This is the first time myself or my mate have ever done anything like this so your not on your own there! Can't see you finding a quiet corner where you'll be alone they appear to be a friendly bunch. Should be a good change of scene for us fellow novices! Hope to see you there

this sounds great by the way, but here are my questions...

1. What experience level is required, I know the Saturday is all tarmac, but let's put it this way, I'm a novice beginner.
Dont worry about experience,there will be plenty there to keep you right.

2. Is this an anyone can come along thing, obviously I don't know anyone here at this stage and don't fancy sitting in the corner for a few days
You wont be on your own!

3. What's the speed thing like, is it a too slow and your out sorta thing, or a nice blip out enjoying the country.
I've been out with some of these guys,they,re SLOW :whistle:

What SS said there is spot on. I have no interest in speed at all, zilch!!! A ride out like this normally uses a drop off system, Google will tell you lots on it, but it means the group can cater for most speeds.

Either way I'm happy to ride along with you at any speed you want, I'm in no hurry and Co Down is a particularly nice place to ride around!!!

Thanks for the replies, sounds good alright, and well aye I'll be one of the slow ones, happy enough to take in the scenery

[Moorso]

TomBoy.....my Missus is coming along pillion....she's never been on a bike before! So I'm taking her out soon on little day by day trips!

As Ghinwha says....we've never been on one of these things either! So it'll be a great experience. Look out for me on a (incredibly mouth watering) black Triumph Tiger. Come over and say hello!

Everyone on here is really friendly, so it'll be Kool and the Gang!

[dmac]

My Mrs should also be going, however she will be riding her VanVan. It might take us a while but we will get there!!!

All you 1st timers don't worry about it,i'm coming over all the way from the midlands on my own and i don't know anybody,everybody makes everybody welcome at rallies especially abr one's
