offlineAdministratorOld Road is basically stuffed... too busy. Was brilliant in the early 1990s. 1990 to 1994 was prime Old Road time... GSX-R750Ms, first Blades, FZR1000s, 851s booming through the hills.

offlineAdministratorIt is a bit like that these days. No longer a local.
Bylong Road is probably these road around I reckon - lots of variations and no boys in blue. Better condition than the Oxley and less shadows.Posted 1 year ago # -

offlineMemberlicola road, on a weekday (joys of being a university student), ultra tight and you're lucky to see any other traffic at all. good surface, some spots its a little worn but no leaf litter to worry about and some huge drops off the road if you stuff up
and when want a change from the bitchumen its straight off the side of the road into high country some killer trail riding (beauty of riding a supermoto).Posted 1 year ago # -

offlineAdministratorWell not gay but the Old Road was once a real dream. There were NEVER more than 6 to 10 bikes up there on a Sunday while it was closed between Mt White and Mooney Mooney and there were never Police. The speed limit was also 100km/h all the way through...
Now there are police all over it, way, way too many tools crashing up there and basically the place is stuffed in my opinion. I started riding there most days on my way to work in 1992/1993 and really it was great then. Now it is a good social hang out but no place to ride hard. Too much chance of some tool taking you out on the wrong side of the road....The magic is gone up there.Posted 1 year ago # -

offlineMemberI lov Mac pass & Kangaroo Valley! Rode for years on dirt & here & there but mac pass was where I cut my teeth riding nice roads on a good road bike. My neighbour took me through there & I used to love chasing his viffer up & down. If you go through Thirlmere, Hill Top, Colo Vale, doen onto the Old Hume, around past the airport & along Range Rd it is a beautiful trip. Then down past Fitzroy falls & stop at the Hampden pie shop (better than Robertson) by the bridge it's a great day ride.

offlineModeratorSandy Hollow to Rylstone up near the top of the list.
Bathurst to Cowra is good when the pace picks up.
Bells Line of Road can be good but avoid early mornings in winter.

offlineModeratorda_bigfella ha detto: Bells is too highly patrolled. The boys in blue love that road these days due to the speed limit drops & it isn't in the best shape these days. Have to agree on the Bathurst to Cowra stretch tho.
You need to pick your days and times with the Bell. Weekday mornings and afternoons tend to be the worst. Allegedly. . .

offlineMemberWell seeing as how I now live a stones throw from the Dandenongs and the Black and Reefton spurs and grew up riding the Old Road and the Putty, It's hard to say...might have to get the repainting finished and go for a ride just for comparison sake.
Although just thinking about time spent in Tasmania you could do a lot worse than riding anywhere down there.Posted 1 year ago # -
