Yeah, the roads are simply devine. Roadworks from Cradle Mountain down to Strahan meant we went north east instead. St Marys pass (a stage of Targa Tasmania) was Motorcycle Nirvana. Discovered a few new roads and apart from 6 k's of gravel road, experienced some of the most incredible roads, scenery and locals Ive ever met. Had some top riders on the trip this year and it was seriously a very special time.

The roads around Cradle Mountain were the best riding I've ever done; although that run into Launceston from Scotsdale was pretty good too. Come to think of it, the whole place is fantastic. Lucky bastard. Next year.........

Nah mate, plenty of it around but as long as you only ride during daylight you tend to be ok I've found.

As a young feller growing up in Tassie i remember dad dodging animals in the car. I hadnt been to Tassie for 21 years , took the fiancee there 2 years ago for a holiday and was amazed by the amount of roadkill on some of the back roads.
