I just came from a 20-day vacation in Australia. Seeing this series of videos makes me want to go back and ride on these roads on two wheels myself. I just returned to riding after more than 20 years of hiatus and watching these videos reinforced my conviction that I made the right decision. Thank you very much for sharing.

I've driven this road 100's of times back in the '80's, but never on a motorbike. It was the way to Coff's from Armidale for scuba diving, the beach or just to get away from the Armidale winter. The views are almost always spectacular! When I get back it will be one of the first roads I plan to do on a bike trip. It looks like the pavement has been improved. Back then it was always quite dangerous when it was raining, as water would often flow down the road.

Drove this road not long back with my wife and daughter. The film doesn't do it justice. Amazing greenery and depth to the gullies and hills on this road. Top speed in a car is really 80km/h, and I did spend a bit of time thinking of biking it. Can be very foggy and wet all year round too though. A must do bike trail in a state with plenty of them.

I drove this road nearly 15 years ago. Hands down the most scenic road I've ever been on. Back then LOTR was the big thing - we kept saying to each, this looks just like The Shire. Then we got to Dorrigo and the rainforest (see the walk at 3:17), and it got even better - a crazy rollercoaster through a luscious rainforest. Coffs Harbour at the end was also a pretty good destination...

FYI: I'm pretty sure these videos are a NSW government initiative to warn motorcyclists about riding on the more popular roads. They do a lot of things to help prevent the many injuries and deaths on roads like this. I even saw a poster in a rest room at a restaurant near the start of some very popular rides, advising how to handle multiple corners! It's a good idea to get riders to be cautious.

@graemesydney38 5 жыл бұрын

It a BIG country. There are many many more. Roads We Ride is a safety program by the NSW govt to soft sell safety and to be informative. Most of Australia's great motorcycling roads are on the east coast going from the coast to the hinter land and crossing the Great dividing range. The Great Dividing Range is a continuous fold mountain range which runs continuously from the Far North of Qld to southern Victoria (see any atlas). It would be EXTREMELY argumentative to pick a best road or a best state for great motorcycling roads. The roads are not heavily policed but the authorities make up for that by heavy and somewhat draconian penalties - 40kph and you get locked up - they only ask your name and details the next morning when they give you your weet bix for breakie. The Adelaide Hills are equally as good and Tasmania should be renamed Bikemania - its that good. In fact Tassy might get the nod because there are few towns or populations to interrupt the fun. Other than that west of the Great Divide it is red dust and adventure bike country (with very few exceptions (to which the Sandgropers (a.k.a. W.A. will protest mightily)).

@gregmatty6393 5 жыл бұрын

My first thought was, "But wait he is on the wrong side of the road, again." Yes of course I know that Australia and the US ride on opposite sides of the road but several times throughout that video I kept thinking man he is going to get killed riding on the wrong side of the road. Riding on whichever side of the road one is accustomed to makes seeing the opposite look very unnatural. The point of all this is the as much as I'd love to tour Australia on a motorcycle I can see me getting lost in the moment and drifting back to the right, I mean correct LOL, side of the road and getting killed. I have heard it is easier to adapt to driving on the opposite side of the road than what you are used to. But that is driving where you are in a car and also seated on the opposite side of the vehicle. But on two wheels we have no way to really keep that straight. But I am still thinking about it . . .

In the U.S. this would usually start the immediate decline of a scenic place like this. Large groups of extremely slow riders and drivers or the other end with large groups of crazy riders and drivers. Along with a sharp rise in people stopping in bad places, trash dumped on the side, and people leaving those personal memorials everywhere.
