It’s nearly time for the 57th running of the ‘National’. As usual, the event has its base in the Castlerosse Hotel, Killarney, and for takes in many demanding routes in idyllic settings.

We can expect to see some bikes which are over 100 years old travelling through West Cork and Kerry during the run. The over subscribed entry will include some classic & vintage models such as BMWs, Triumph, BSA, Rudge, AJS, Norton and a host of other machinery not normally seen together on Irish roads.

Best of luck to all entrants and hoping for a safe, and sunny, few days.
