Riding Down Under

[Cormanus]

To cheer up you blokes stuck inside watching the snow settle on your CBs, here's a wee video I came across. It's made by an American who went for a bit of a ride in Australia. His route took him along the south coast from east to west.

The main reason for posting it is the important cameo early in the video.

who is that at the 50 sec mark Cormanus?

PS love his keep left decal..like when you guys came over for the first rally and I said "keep the white (line) on the right" lol

[Cormanus]

Wanna hazard a guess, Ferret? Don't be taken in by the different jacket.

I liked the keep left sign too. A great idea.

[the Ferret]

well Ptero rides a red CB and that guy is wearing leather pants.

[Cormanus]

Ptero it is. He was on his way home from a ride north with me.

I want to ride there. I want to ride with Cormanus and watch Ptero's tail light disappear as I try to keep up. I want to enjoy a steak and a Tasmanian wine at a pub after a long day's ride and crawl upstairs for an overnight rest. I want to go riding Down Under. Some day. Some day.

Awesome. Thanks for the pick-me-up!

There is still room on the plane this March! I'm doing it with frequent flier miles... and not so many. So, come on!

Cool video! Looks like beautiful country... the only thing weird is the riding on the left side. I actually got nervous for him a bit when the car showed up coming around the bend on the 'wrong side' early on. Love the 'Keep Left' tape on the screen. Did you do that when you were over here last summer?

Room on the roads too. Come on down!

No, ride4now. I reckon it was done by the crowd who rented him the bike. It's a good idea, although the thing that nearly undid me a number of times was intersections. The lights change, you pull out and find yourself heading for the 'wrong' side of the road.
