    I don't know about forums, but you have got to ride the Great Ocean Road, its fantastic, though I never got a chance to ride it while I was there it is an awesome piece of road with some nice scenery.

    Watch the coppers Down the GOR, they been targeting bikes there..

    The Dandenong ranges, black spur and Reefton spurs are good for a Blast...also can be full of coppers.
    Theres a hell of a lot of nice country roads not far from here for some spirited riding.
