An adventure bike can give a whole new look to things.
Victoria’s Great Ocean Road is almost worth a yawn these days. Is there any bike mag anywhere in the world that hasn’t raved about it?
It would be a yawn if it wasn’t such a fantastic ride. Not only is the scenery end-of-the-world – almost literally – but the road itself is a winding, high-traction masterpiece that begs to be ridden hard. While the sportsbike brigade seem fairly tame due to the activities of our chums in the Victorian constabulary, the thrill of grooving a big adventure bike through the beachfront curves and forests on a sunny day is still one of this country’s best two-wheeled outings.
