Welcome to the community, congrats on your choice, be safe, be confident, be visible and ENJOY!  The only safe assumpion is that he/she have not seen you.

Thanks for the welcome all. With the bike I got a jacket, gloves and helmet as part of the package so all the gear is good. I gotta say the closer I get to picking her up the more excited I am. But then I read about people getting their heads almost sliced off by flying signs and truck bits and wonder if I have done the right thing!

But I saw a blue GS across the road yesterday (Crows Nest for the sydney dwellers) so took it as a sign!

So got the test next week, and then the big day. Cannot WAIT

... And to all the other Sydney GS riders a group ride sounds like a great idea count me in, does everyone know and like the Old Pacific Hwy to Gosford just as a thought?

The old Pacific Hwy is cool I'm going that way next weekend (15/5/04) Let me know if anyone wants to come! just email me.

Bell's line of road to Lithgow is pretty awesome, but it's pretty cold over the the other side of the mountains.

The Putty Rd is supposed to be good as well, but I still haven't been down it.

Sorry, Ihaven't posted from down here in sunny Tassie for a while.  I've had mine for three years now and have 33,000 km up.  Yes, the road up Macquarie Pass is great, as is the old Pacific H'way, but you have not lived until you have brought your bike to Tasmania.  Do it! Do it! Do it!

I've got that planned for next year, Feburary hopefully

The putty is great except there are alot of long open sections that become a bit dole but when you find the 35kmh bends up to the 55kmh bends its magic and the road surface is good, was just up that way about 2 weeks ago camping with the GS and yes it was cold, but we learnt the lesson air mattresses hold only cold air BRRRR .
But for just bends and some hard work I prefer the Old Road
