Bathurst

[smythie]

Well a mate on his bike from Coffs was heading through to Jindabyne for the weekend so I offered to show him some of the back roads from Lithgow into Bathurst.

Isn't it a good feeling to see these babies?


We parted company in Bathurst after a coffee after the obligatory lap
Some photos at the bottom






And some at the top










Geez, it must be hard being a learner in Bathurst when all your parents have for you to practice in is a phase 3


We dropped into the museum to check out the new Brock memorial statue. It looks good from front on


But a rather half arsed effort from any other angle


Another artsy shot later in the day in the middle of nowhere

[WhiteGTB]

Nice day for pics

I didn't realise you could drive on the actual track...

[smythie]

thanks guys.

Oooh yeah, you most certainly can drive on the track - it's a public road with a number of residences, wineries and even a clay pidgeon range having entrances onto it. 60km/h speed limit though which is reputed to be well policed (though I haven't seen any on there). It is so hard to maintain 60 coming down Conrod

Nice pics mate.

Ah, those photo's bring back some nice memories. Spend alot of time doing laps on that track when I was doing consulting work.

I think I was rolling down Conrod faster than 60km/hr!

Nice pics mate.

[smythie]

I was engine braking in 3rd to maintain speed

[Fangin_RX]

My parents took us around bathurst in the Hilux we kinda went over the 60KM/H mark just by rolling all the way down conrod

Plenty of advertising for Holden up there eh?!?!

Great pics Tony! I swear you're like the most adventurous member on here! I can't remember a single weekend in which you DIDN'T drive somewhere.

mmmm .. i see those phat cans a on too.....

great pics, i did a few laps on that track the very next day i picked up the car new.......

the police do like to spend some time there, but if you hang around they tend to move off, and thats your chance to give it a boot.....great way to bed in new brembo's........

mmmm seems like you were not pushing too hard, those wheels a too clean after a few laps of the mountain.
