The Nullabor

Isn't that just around the S bend from Disney world?

That goes some way to explaining things... I tend to ride naked bikes,
or bikes
with small half fairings at best...

If it was hiding in Johno's letterbox that would explain why he was
afraid to ride past it!

True... but then I tend to wear long thermals in winter and thermal
singlets as well

Actually the signposted turnoff to Buchan is on the left, not the right
(though there is an unsignposted turnoff on the right about 2km further
along. Take the left turn real easy especially if the road is wet, it's a
270° left hander which immediately passes back under the Princes Hwy. There
are a few turns to make in the first few km and they're not always in the
logical direction so at each intersection slow down and read the signposts
and
follow the Buchan signs.

thx for that tip

If your plan is to follow the freeway into Melbourne and out the other side
to
Geelong You might find it more entertaining to avoid Melbourne all together,
head south to Sorrento and catch the ferry across to Queenscliff instead and
head to the GOR via Barwon Heads.


How often does the ferry cross ?

The ride through Melb is piss poor and the ferry detour sounds a good idea

thx Nev

How long did it tale you ?

 

A man after my own taste of depravity

 

Probably better than Disney world...

Dont worry about it Nev as I got of my arse or to be more exact sat down on
my arse
and googled.

Its a definite part of my trip.....

 

When I picked mine up, with 5600 km on it, it still had the original
rubber on it. 2000 km later, the rear was well and truly shagged (on the
sides, not so much the centre) and the front was looking a bit tired.
Just replaced both with Shinko tyres for $229 all up. They're the same
construction (same factory actually) as the continentals. Stickier than
the BT012SS, but probably won't last quite as long - but at half price
it is hopefully worth it.

Question: how come you're getting rid of your FJR?

Pardon me for being a pedant, but I'm having trouble imagining a 270°
left hander. Isn't that going to be the same as a 90° right hander ?

David

 

Yep. The road loops back under the highway.

The entrance from Sth Gippy Hwy to the Monash is more like a 300° left
hander.

Moike

 

FFS...

 

It's an anti-clockwise roundabout.

Theo

 

There's a story to that.

Theo

 

The nett result is much the same but you don't wear out the right hand side of
your tyre.

Nev..
'03 ZX12R

 

Nope. If you took a 90° right hander there, you'd pin the armco
and then fall several meters onto the road below.

Better to follow road around to the left and under the highway, I
think ...

The Cahill Expressway weat/northbound onto the harbour bridge in
Sydney...

There's usually some elevation change involved...
