This region of NSW has great roads in all directions and worth a look if you have the time. From my home town of Lismore, with my mate Graeme coming along for a part of today’s ride on his Ducati 800 sport, it was north over the Burringbar Range and lunch at The Mount Warning Hotel. From there we went through Murwillumbah to Chillingham and into nice twisty valley and mountain roads. The Numinbah Valley and over Hinze Dam to Nerang is a great road with some good surface and can be tempting. Being just over the hill from the Gold Coast, it is popular with both bike and police. We reached Nerang where Graeme turned back and I was onto the M1 to Brisbane. North West of the city is Mount Nebo Road to Mount Glorious. It’s a very smooth and twisty rainforest road and Brisbane’s busiest bike road. At the top is a coffee shop which is a nice stop after that fun you probably just had. It’s also where my daughter lives where I stayed a couple of nights.
A week after leaving Sydney and meandering up the coast on familiar roads in familiar areas, doing visits and sleep-overs, making sure I was happy with the bike and all things to do with it, I was ready to rip in.
