My pleasure, Spencer - but I must say that it was perhaps a bit too warm - it was 36 deg C at 1000 on that morning....rising up to 43 deg C in the middle of  the day!  :eek:

Nice video -- who knew there were so many curving roads in Australia?

And good thing neither you your you riding buddies came to grief riding on the wrong side of the road.  (Good thing the few cars you met were doing the same thing!)

Here in New England right now there are more than 24 inches of snow on the ground, the temperature is around 15 F, and there is no snow removal equipment expected for hours. So if you did have thoughts to ride, (even on the wrong side), you'd have to keep them to yourself! 

Living in a fantasy land is only fun for so long.....
