I agree. i think this is a great video . I wish we had some of the roads and scenery down here that these guys have in Europe.
Don't mind the music either!
You need a copy of Peter Thomings Motorcycle Atlas of Australia , desperately.
Lots of great rides down here.
You could spend a month in Tassie riding 8 hours a day and not cross the same piece of tar twice.
I've never been to Oz myself but for someone living on a relatively cramped island the thought of all that space is certainly alluring...
These days, particularly in the summer months, the roads in the UK are generally too busy to travel very far without getting frustrated by it all...:rage: ..Ian
Tassie is a loooong way from Perth Trevor.
There's some decent roads in the hills behind Perth but not with the scenery of Europe unfortunately.
Well I would hope not otherwise the world would be a rather boring place.
Diversity is the spice of life.
Although even a one eyed flag waving patriot of the "worlds gift to motorcycling" would admit it is a touch flatter on your side.
Well the BSA International is down here in 2018.
The BSAOA is sending a container or two of bikes down here so that drops the price drastically.
The Grampions, where the rally is being held is fantastic riding and bushwalking if you like to watch nature at a slower pace.
Then when it is all over, a ride ( or two ) along the Great Ocean Road to the Tassie Ferry.
"Dry days"? I have no dry days (we get 150 inches of rain a year). Makes no noticeable difference to my ride whether it's wet or dry. Actually better when wet because there are no Harleys on the road. When it rains, you get wet. No big deal...
I once worked as Powys Council's unsealed road inspector. Basically I threatened them with various outcomes and they gave me a job....
This was twenty years ago and it was said then that Powys B and less roads were quieter then than they had been twenty years earlier. This due to rural depopulation mainly. You could walk for an hour or more at certain times of day and never see a vehicle. Nothing's changed much since then. I live in the Welsh Marches.
