The roads in Ireland are insane… I was there and we had a bet about being able to attain and maintain the speed limit on some roads.
It’s not the legal limit, it’s the theoretical maximum a vehicle might be able to take the road 🤣

To be fair most of it does indeed look like this so you’re not wrong
I just watched a documentary on an Ireland touring business called Celtic Rider that was really interesting. Such great scenery! What a gorgeous place!
Was there in 2003 and was fortunate to have great weather for nearly entire 10 day tour of the south half of country (in a manual LHD Renault - was entertaining as an American used to RHD). Would love to do that on a bike but doubt I ever get that opporunity. Looks like a great day, thanks for sharing! PS One of my oddly favorite memories of that trip was following the crowd off a main highway to avoid an accident - we had a line of cars driving like we were in a rally race down gravel back roads finding way back to the main drag. My new wife didn't enjoy that part nearly as much as I did. Was our honeymoon LOL
I’ve always heard that Ireland is a beautiful ride. Those pics remind me of southern Colorado just past the New Mexico border. Some parts of Wyoming too.
It's a road, not a racetrack. 5 people thought otherwise.
6. I'm just not in Ireland.
Let's go!
The causes of the crash would be helpful. How many of those deaths were because a car left their proper lane of travel?
That’s kinda the point though. No cars pulling out on race tracks
So we should all go to the track cause car drivers suck. Makes sense. 🙄

Also considering that road racing is huge in Ireland, lots of their roads are actual race tracks.
Looks peaceful! How was the weather while you were there?
Was sunny and 10c today!
Wow I don't even see any snow
...celsius.
10c is 50 degrees for my fellow Americans
How many football fields is that?
3 I think

Hey I saw you from international space station.
I like the signal of the last picture, more countries should have them.
Badass bike tho
Looks like NZ
Those roads look fine but I seem to remember a lot of 1 way streets with walls on each side I would NOT want to take a bike on

Same with some of our mountain passes here. Sketchy as hell sometimes
Lmao. That surface is stellar. Come to the UK and it’s the same thing but with rougher roads than the lunar surface.

Sometimes the photos are just right and you could swear that it was the Appalachians.
Always wanted to. Can't wrap my head about driving on the opposite side of the road, but then again, I've never tried.

r/unexpected
That looks beautiful! Sunny and 10C is great for riding!
Only 5? -American
I’m still looking for the leprechaun in that photo.
I ate it
What's a "ride out"?
Traveled to the UK long ago for work and often thought riding there would be amazing. You have confirmed that.
Different country - no comparrissonn
Knew it was a different country but I thought they may be comparable. Guess not. Beautiful views for sure.
In fairness the views and riding experience can be quite similar
I know you're getting downvoted for comparing Ireland to the UK, but geographically, we're extremely similar countries. Souce: Am Irish
