Ride down the Clyde, NSW Australia

Splinter · **Posted:** Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:32 am

I have uploaded the first part of my ride down the Clyde Mt with friends.
Note I forgot to put shake reduction on when using the camera so it is a little bumpy.

This is my first ride on this road with the GSX, I did feel the weight of the bike trying to slow it down. You will hear at one point a compression lockup.

It seems much slower in the video...

honest.

Splinter,
Thanks for the fantastic video. Living on an island, beautiful scenery, perfect weather, riding the best motorcycle; life just doesn't get any better than that! Enjoy and best of riding to you.
Aloha from Hawaii, the other island.

Hold on while I highlight my map of rides I must do before I die.

What a workout !!! That's some seriously sharp bends to get around.
Not something I'd want to push the 'F' through too hard. Good to see you stuck to your limits.

That road is similar to the conditions to what I was riding in when I had my accident a few weeks back. :cry:

Due to a previous accident (hit by car 4 days earlier) I was coming down the mountain approaching a right hand bend,
and the throttle stuck open and I couldn't slow the bike down in time. Lucky me instead of a having a safety ramp
I got to use a steel pole and drainage pit. $5700 later and my bikes ready to go again.

Good Vid. Totaly enjoyed it.

Cheers. BB

gsxblazin... thanks I had fun making it.

BikerBoy... it is one of many around here... Kangaroo Valley way, Clyde, Brown Mt and Jambaroo Way just to name a few. Spend a week on the NSW southern coast and still not ride all the good roads.

PART 2!!

Yeah, all you NSW guys have just about convinced me to plan a trip in the new year. Looks like you've got some great rides, and also the chance to meet up with a few members from this forum too would be great.

Keep the vids coming Splinter.

Cheers. BB

Great video of the clyde .Even alot of NSW people don't know about it .
You can't really tell how steep it is ,but all the saftey run off ramps give you an idea.
