Re: North West 200

Re: North West 200
 

will defo be going as well, found a crackin B&B just outside Ballycastle

will be booking in there again as its only about 13 miles from Portrush along the coast road

have always had great difficulty booking anywhere near the triangle and if I did find a place, it was feckin extortionate :mad:

Re: North West 200
 

pretty chuffed by the amount of ppl on here tht have said they r going.......SV Northern Ireland Meet is in order lol

Re: North West 200
 

flex, yep, we should defo organise a meet up, the thurs night after practice would be good and we can organise a rideout as well for maybe the friday or sunday

am gonna shell out this time for tickets for the main stand at the start finish line since at least you can follow the race on the big telly's instead of watching for the helicopter coming round then 30 secs later, the bikes are gone

Re: North West 200
 

Once again I'm thinking of going to the TT (i have free accomodation) but i doesn't hold the appeal it did, not after DJ passing away... Shame if he was still here and riding i'd be there in a minute

Re: North West 200
 

Already booked for next year. Just takes a wee phone call to the usual B&B a month prior to the weekend to get a bed for a couple days. Sail out of Troon to Larne, then back to Larne. From Larne to the track takes 1.5 hours. On that weekend, the cops are over active up in the north, don't take any prisoners, and issue speeding fines with points like sweeties. They don't take excuses, just money...

** Note - the Northern Ireland cops use unmarked V6 Ford mondeos, BMW M5's , and unmarked camera vans. So no speeding if you go over......

Just started working for an Irish haulage firm, so will be tramping to and from Ireland now on a regular basis. If you want a bike or two put onto a double deck trailer, and stored prior to the event, let me know..

Been going over for years,when you come off ferry in Belfast or Larne head on up the A2 coast road all the way to Portrush. Will take a baseball bat to get the smile off your face. ;)
We have a villa booked every year in Ballycastle, sleeps 12 and works out next year at £62 each for the week. Ferry was booked as soon as race day date was up, £60 for rider and bike. Price goes up as date gets nearer. Have fun.
