Hey Bill,is Friday 30th a public holiday in new south or is it the 6th April ? Just thinking of double demerits etc... If it is we could stay in Qld and do Q.M.Falls. But then again I'm always capable of slowing down I spose..See ya on the day.

[xhiler8r]

Mike we could all take our plates off for the day and all yell CANNONBALL as we Ride away lol

[Diablo]

I'll try and get there Bill. Would be good to get a ride in before I go into hospital on the moinday for surgery.

Just thinking of double demerits etc...

Umm - mayhaps you are unaware mike, but I am 99% sure we
have double demerits here in Qld for holidays too.

The route you've picked is a good one Bill, I've done it a couple of times also. The other option I've been told but I haven't tried myself is the road from Rathdowney to Kyogle over Mount Lion. I hear a few blokes on bikes say it's really good???

Greg lions road is a cattle track it does save a lot of time but IMHO not that good of a riding rd

[GCBusa]

I must have been given some dodgy information then?? Can only go on what I have been told.
No matter, the alternative is mostly good riding.

[mechanx]

the lions rd is great now ,since they redone it .

[snakeman]

I did the Lions road 2 weeks ago on my 1100 and although sealed all the way now, it is still a goat track.
Going straight for the border as Bill is suggesting from Rathdownie is a better option eventhough there are some rough bits, there are also some nice bits

Welcome aboard Steve and when you said you went out looking for a Blackbird you werent kidding mate you probobly found the best one out there

[Diablo]

I would have to agree with Snakeman, the lions road is better than it was before being sealed, but is far from a good road. Last time I did the ride, I was heading from Kyogle to Murwillumbah (yes I know the Lions Road ends before Kyogle), and I was going into a right hander when the road just drops away to the left. It's like they widened the road, and just layed bitumen off the shoulder without doing any leveling. Damn near went down, very scary.

M8ee, No double demerit points in Queensland, with an exception. If you get done more than once for a seatbelt offence, any time of the year, there is double points for each offence after the first, within a single 12 month period. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks mate

I did try the other blackbird as well and thought it was "nice"

[mechanx]

whoever says the lions rd is crap is a pussy, and shouldn't be riding anyhow .
