Only means that the author hasn't been to NZ if he rates Great Ocean Road as a better ride than Fiordland or the Waitomo loop.

Only saw 2 bikes up the west coast last week, both adventure bikes. Whats happening, used to see heaps of them. There was always bikes parked up in the mainstreet of Franz, not a one this time.![]()

The GOR is overrated as a road. The bit from Apollo Bay to Anglesea is OK -- if there's not much traffic. That bit is a bit like the Kaikoura coast road. The bit where the 12 (9 actually) Apostles are is inland a ways. Scenically it's a bit like the ride from Hawera to Opunake. A helicopter ride is the best way of taking in that stretch of coast. We've done it twice now. Yes, it's enjoyable but no, it's not one of the World's Top 10 Motorcycle Rides.

'Ocker' Srsly - do people still say that? Crikey.
Looping back to the city inland via the Dandenongs is better than the GOR.
There are several places in Aus that I would rate much higher.
The descent from the Great Divide into Cairns and across the Snowy Mountains to the township of Bright are outstanding.
Northern NSW and SEQ Hinterland are also very good.
GOR is pleasant.
'Bogon has superseded the epithet in the local colloquial' he said urbanely.
You know the score. Anywhere there are mountains the riding is perty good.
There are a weathered line of hills (by NZ standards) that run a few thousand km up the eastern seaboard. Any time you can get amongst them it's pretty good.
Shhhhh, don't tell the minister of tourism.
I'd rate the GOR as good but not great. The Great Alpine Rd is better than the GOR.
