I'm just back from riding Alaska again. This time I took my 67 yr old mum as pillion.
I haven't uploaded any photos yet but there are pictures from my rides around Japan, Every US state, Western Europe here:

"Never ridden in Ireland...any tips?"
Take waterproofs!
There's a brilliant saying about visiting Ireland;
'If you travel to Ireland expecting rain, you're unlikely to be disappointed.'
lol
Oh, another place I've been to. Ireland!
I've ridden the 48 mainland states on my own V-Star 650 and doubled up on several on my V-Strom 1000. Alaska both times has been on rented V-Strom 650, Hawai'i was a borrowed Harley Deuce, Japan was a rented V-Star 400. Europe on my own Royal Star Venture or the V-Star 650.
Almost all pleasure trips. I tend to do long trips on my own now rather than group rides but meet up with grou[ps in different locations. Done some rides with 1 or 2 other bikes as well. Japan was an organised trip by the guy I rent my bike from in Alaska.
Well, I have a quick trip to Vegas coming up in 2 weeks so may ride out to the valley of fire state park if I get time. Also want to do the new skywalk bridge on the West rim of the Grand Canyon.
Next year is a bike ride in China
have you ridden Tioga Pass early in the morning, up from Mono Lake?
Makes for a great days ride.
China, that's a big place. I rode in HK (new territories) and down on Hainan Island, sub tropical and most southerly part of China...very humid and fascinating. Gave me a chance to see a lot of a little, rather than a little of a lot.
