It should do, they are very reliable, mines never given me any bother. The thing which could possibly give you a problem is the Dizzy, but you have a spare one with you so you are sorted.


I bet you are looking forward to it, what way are you getting there, which route are you taking?

Dublin to Holyhead, thats probably the way I'd go myself, would be good to convoy down with you next year if I can make it, and if you are going back.

I wish I could come.

Maybe next year.

Me, you, Ian and a few others.

Should be a right laugh.


Enjoy yourself, take lots of pictures.

I was going to say have a look below my avatar but I just checked myself and its no longer says. I'm from Portrush. Northern Ireland, but I now spend most of time away from home on the Indian Empress which is great in many way apart from that I rarely get to use my car.
