Still one of my favourite bits of black top though

Yeah, but if wasn't sealed, I wouldn't have ridden it on the ST1300.

I have at least 10 black top favourites in Tassie.

The inevitable results of any sealed-through route....

First time I went above "the ton" on dirt, right along that flat, straight-ish bottom stretch towards the Great Lakes pub.
A few months later they sealed it.

$2.00 in the new language here on the S10 :whistle:

Add those both together and we would still be slower than Brad Binder on his KTM down the main straight at Mugello last night during the Spirit race to break the fastest top speed in Motogp

366kmh!

That is about 20kmh faster than what the Le Mans cars are doing down the Mulsanne Straight this weekend

And for bragging rights at the Great Lakes Pub at lunch we could add 9% speedo error, so after a couple of South Africans finest we can say he was doing 400kmh.

Pete, I remember that run down to the Miena pub on the gravel, we were all doing a "little" over the dollar shall we say as we passed the Liawniee cop shop only to see Mr plod standing outside with a his cuppa in hand watching us all fly past and his reaction was to simply raise his cup to us!!!...lol 2 days later I was again on that road heading south to meet up with the group again and hitting the gravel only to find out the road had been "winterised" in the last 2 days by the adding of 100mm of gravel over the top so it was like hitting a skating rink at speed and let's just say the old sphincter grabbed the seat pretty tight as I thought it was gonna end in tears momentarily, but somehow I kept the thing upright and waddled down the road at no more than 60kph all the way to Miena where the publican told me of the road having all the gravel put down and the method of compaction is purely road traffic in that part of the world!!!
