    hehehehe, yeh, get to an intersection, struggle to actually park the bike, coz of the mounds of gravel everywhere. Guy comes along in a ute, asking why we are here (dressed up in one piece leathers, sportsbikes etc) we state we are a bit lost, looking for some really nice hidden tarmac. He looks at us bemused, and says, well, there isn't any here... Funny that, we reply, we have been noticing...

    He says we need to get out before we get locked in. Coming back down and out of the forestry area, I have an absolute ball passing n4cr on the right hand side, near the edge, arse sideways, rear wheel spinning on gravel. Great laugh, except for corners... some were very tricky with all the road gear, stiff suspension etc.

    edit: get up to date maps... really really twisty roads look promising... unless its forestry, with one lane, and gravel/rock.

    Something is wrong if you can manage to stay on 84km bit of road for two hours.....

I would prefer something that is fairly good from the outset and doesn't require say, 2 hours of motorway first. If not could you please make some new roads?

    Thank you.
    Check this out, always good,

    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.
