The Sidling is great as long as they have maintained it. Try it when
trucks have ripped dirt into every corner and it is less than amusing,
especially on a bike. I've done it several times in Targa Tasmania in
a car and it easier to get away with the shit ripped in the corners,
but it is a bit of road that can catch you out quickly.

I actually prefer Weldborough Pass which is about half an hour further
along towards the East Coast run. Less traffic to pull shit onto the
road and some magic scenery.

There were no problems this time around. We were warned about gravelly
corners, but there were none. We did the whole east coast run from
Hobart to Launceston - impressive.
It's a great run. A guy who used to post in here (Mark? GS will recall
his surname)
Ahh.. good old Mark... I think his surname was Mogwai. Hates bright
lights - especially a bright sunrise; keep well away from motorbikes;
and remember, most importantly, no matter how much he cries and begs,
never, never give him alcohol after midnight.

Last heard of riding off into the sunrise on his Bandit. Ahhh... love
the smell of redline in the morning!

Almost correct except that it was an XJR1200 (the noisy bugger on the
bandit was Johno and in his case it was snoring and not engine noise!).

Understandable mistake... they both drink VB after all.

The Supers followed by the TS Safari to Tasmania. My first time at the
Supers:
I watched from a Super Tent with a Super Screen in front. There was a
Super Bike race and a Super Sport race. There was a Super Pole too.
The local cafe sold Super Subs.
All in all, a Super Weekend.

Some observations from the Supers:
Those Big Bangers make a great sound. The Kwakas are too loud though -
you can't hold mobile phone conversations over the noise <waves> Hi
Betty
Sore losing motorcycle racers are even more whiney than sore losing
footballers

What Sucks:
Taking the battery out of the camera to charge it, then forgetting to
put it back in before leaving home, then buying an el cheapo camera
for the trip, then losing it the day before leaving Tasmania for home.

What doesn't suck:
Tasmania! There was some agreement that the Sidling is a better ride
than the Oxley.

Timber trucks and Gunns are excluded from the "Doesn't Suck" list

Here is a link I just discovered to Gunns promotional material
(https://www.getup.org.au/campaign/NoPulpMill&id=952) from Resource
Development and Planning Commission -- and this is the best they
have to say about it!
