Motorcycle insurance specialists

Adelaide Insurance Services celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year and continues to be an integral part of the motorcycle fraternity demonstrating this with major investment in sponsorship by supporting motorcycle clubs’ events. Like the “Adelaide International Kells Road Races,” 30 June and 1 July, Kells County Meath. This event is in its 18th year and will be bigger and better than ever before with the brand new Lloyd circuit - 4.2 miles, fast and free flowing with better facilities for competitors and spectators alike. Access is much quicker from the M3 and N52 and the track is within walking distance of the town of Kells with loads of free entertainment for the whole family. 

The spectator areas will provide for spectacular viewing and will easily accommodate everyone.  Camping facilities are also available.
