Australia's best motorcycle roads. Snowy Mtns Highway

Snowy Mountains Highway. NSWHere is a major mountain road with countless excellent sweepers that for some strange reason is not listed in the Hema motorcycle atlas. I actually skipped it the first time I rode the Snowy mtns area thinking it must be no good - don't make the same mistake, this is a terrific bit of tar!The Hema atlas gives the alternative of Corryong to Tumut via Tumbarumba a

Australia's best motorcycle roads. Murray River Rd

Murray River Road, VIC.Of the many great rides I enjoyed in Victoria on recent my moto-gp tour, this one certainly stood out.I had faint memories of this road in my mind before riding it. I remember this road from when I was very young on holiday with my parents, caravan in tow. The water level is much lower than I recall and no doubt like alot of Australia's water ways is suffering from a lack

Australia's best motorcycle roads. Gwydir h-way

The Gwydir highway. NSW.This is one of those roads I always seem to skip.

Australia's best motorcycle roads. Bells line of road.

Bells Line of Road (The Blue Mountains) NSW.After the Putty Road one option is to head west via this road to Lithgow and then make you way to the Snowy Mountians region.

I will post more about this route elsewhere.So leaving the putty you may have bypassed

Grow old, ride safe....enjoy the ride

Here is some scans of a superb brochure I picked up from the cafe in Walwa on the Murray River Road, Victoria (post for this road coming up) produced by motorcyclists for motorcyclists. Its not saying the usual speed kills dribble just to ride within your limits and has some excellent advice that will have you nodding your head regardless of your riding skill.This is the sort of thing I would
