Greetings!

Great to see you all at the Irish Motorcycle & Scooter Show. Thanks for calling by the stand and thanks to all the volunteers who ran the stand over the weekend. We'll likely see you again at the Carlow show on Easter Sunday.

If you’re planning a motorcycle related event in Ireland in 2015, let us know by sending details to events@magireland.org and we'll add it to the Irish Motorcycle Events Calendar for free.

27,136 visitors to Irish Motorcycle & Scooter Show

The board and volunteers of MAG Ireland would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined or renewed your membership at the recent Irish Motorcycle and Scooter Show in the RDS.

We had a high volume of queries on licensing in particular with many riders apparently under the impression that they had to pass an A2 category test before going for a category A license. This is not the case and you can apply for a category A without any previous motorcycle experience provided you are 24 years or older. More on that in an upcoming issue.

According to the organisers, some 27,136 visitors passed through the show during the course of the weekend. If you didn't make it and you would like to join MAG Ireland or renew a lapsed membership, click the button below.
