    Hey Champo, same, same. I rode an imaginary bike on trips with my family to the Blue Mtns. Now I'm riding a Triumph T100. No ABS, traction control or flash stuff. Just a plain simple bike with a nice colour scheme. I don't ride on weekends because I cycle but I love my hour trip to work and can't wait to head home for another hour session. I ride in all weather because I love the "connection" with everything around me.

    Great story...it's not just about rode safety, it's a 'true motorcycling video'. You have captured the essence of 'oneness of rider and machine' gliding through our incredible natural environment. Well done! Mitch

    Love your philosophy of riding especially the analogy of long board riding. I was always a long board rider and that style has also transferred over to motorcycle riding. Great video!

  • @CaptainCrankyMotovlogger
    @CaptainCrankyMotovlogger Před 7 lety +1

    Nicely done - love the memories. I used to take my kids up that road to escape Sydney for the weekend (usually up to Elands). Now I live 800Km north but like to ride the Old Pac any time I'm down that way.

  • @fmacdonald3559
    @fmacdonald3559 Před 7 lety +4

    I know I am going to sound old but I have such fond memories of riding it when it was still 100 end to end.
    There was a time when a section of the road was closed after fires in about 1991 when you could ride at 100+ through the corners and only met bikes and performance cars. Not a cyclist or caravan to be seen and as it ended in a dead end you could be liberal with the speeds.

    I grew up in Port Macquarie and moved to Newcastle for Uni then work, so I'm familiar with this road. Great work on achieving the immersive feel in the video and cinematography.
    My Dad has been riding and surfing all his life and I've only recently got into riding and can't stop. I'm yet to ride this road but I guarantee you it's on my list.
    I love that the entirety of this video is basically in our backyard.

    Yes, nicely put together video...but it would be given that t's an advert from NSW Gov't (Transport for NSW) with subliminal messages about nice slow bend-swinging and takin' yer time etc. These are same idiots who imposed an entirely inappropriate 60 kmh zone through most of the Sydney end of the Old Road. Very frustrating riding experience and pretty much pointless on weekends.

      +2gud4umenglez As Champo says, if you head to the Old Pac with an attitude of riding gracefully and not treating the road like a racetrack, the cops won't have to bother you. Plus it's a stunningly beautiful ride. I wouldn't let a bit of policing get in the way of being a part that.

    • @allmhuran
      @allmhuran Před 7 lety +3

      This is false.
      I've been riding for 20 years. Everyone I used to ride with stopped riding the old road 10 years ago.
      First, the speed limits were cut in half. Yes, for all you younguns, it used to be 100/80.
      Then there was the astounding regularity of exhaust decibel testing, pulling over all bikes for random noise tests, issuing defects which were, in every case I am personally aware of, resolved with no modification. I guess the meters just happened to be incorrectly calibrated every time, eh?
      Then the cops were there pinging everyone for any minor thing they could find. I was once up for a group ride with a responsible group - aus.moto - being led by a 1952 BMW. Obviously we weren't hooning. We were all pulled over and inspected regardless.
      Anecdotally, I heard this was all because a few residents complained about bikes on the road. It's a public road, they have no right to claim it for themselves. I guess someone with political clout lives there.

    This is one of those beautiful roads you have to spend more time watching your speedometer than the road and other road users, otherwise you put yourself at serious risk of having a police officer extort money from you and your family. Nice story though.
