Those are nice roads but I notice you don't have much shoulder area to stop. Our roads get chewed up too because of the winter and limited road repair budgets. Lots of frost heaves which you have to watch out for<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-39443901856450402472014-05-26T19:35:20.722+10:002014-05-26T19:35:20.722+10:00The surface of the Oxley wasn't in too bad nic...The surface of the Oxley wasn't in too bad nick but some of the other roads, you could hide a bus in some of the pot holes.<br /><br />That tyre was pretty shot wasn't it.

Great pics and video.My neighbour was up on the Oxley on his CB1000R a week or so ago. He actually commented that the road surface up there was just as bad as ours around here.<br /><br />There's not much keeping the air in when a tyre is that bald that it has the steel belts showing!Tarsnakes Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859439380216890525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-1012903748646191342014-05-26T09:45:28.167+10:002014-05-26T09:45:28.167+10:00Maybe Geoff could have put that size label from hi...Maybe Geoff could have put that size label from his shirt on the centre of his tyre to help extend the tyre life?Flyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304812333120293988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-90954403476792336982014-05-26T06:29:48.083+10:002014-05-26T06:29:48.083+10:00Thanks Brandy.

Love all the pics.<br /><br />We were thinking about taking Buckets Way earlier this year on our way home from Forster, but I wasn't too sure about the condition of the road.<br /><br />Love the video, well done! Some of those tight bends that seem to go forever made my toes tingle no kidding. Like you I love those 'flip flop bends' that you can take a bit faster, though I'm sure I wouldn't take them anywhere near as fast as you. Within legal limits of course :)<br /><br />Wow your mate from Bisbane had quite a ride before he even got to the group, hope he wasn't just doing the weekend.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-20934157649870964532014-05-24T20:49:44.179+10:002014-05-24T20:49:44.179+10:00sounds like a good run
