In fact I might claim a record, as I did a 4,000 km ride from Sydney to Hobart and once we were on the ferry across Bass Straight and arrived in Tasmania, did not see another Victory for the whole trip! (Tasmania has a population of 500,000 and no Victory dealers). Only Victory in Tasmania and perhaps the most southern ever?
Fitted a RPW Thor 2 into 1 exhaust (good but LOUD), Lloyds timing wheel, new air box, Lloyds ECU, and Avon Cobras for the trip. Loads of grunt and grip.
Attached are some pictures of this part of the world. Me on a Victory Judge and my mate on a HD Road King:
In order ~
Ferry - have you ever ridden onto a ferry?
Stanley, north west Tas
Strahan, remote, south west
Lake Plimsoll
Cradle Mountain national park, world heritage area
There's something special about riding onto a ferry, because when you ride off, you are in a very different place. We experience that sensation quite a lot in the NW corner of Washington state. Thanks for the pics and the post--looks like a neat place to ride.
Thanks so much for posting. Most of us will never get to experience such places. Most have the hope and desire, we just lack the funds. Please post up some more from down under. Thank you.
Ive never been down there yet myself.
Actually when I was Victory hunting last year there was a Judge for sale there. Had I had the funds at the time I wouldve flown down and rode home.
As luck would have it though a great deal on my Vegas came up in Melbourne so it was Plan V instead
Really like to do a run to Tassie as some time.
Lots of windy roads perfect biking state.
In summer of course
Sensational mate!
I'm looking to head down there from CQ either in January or February, going to hire something for 10 days though as i can't get enough time off to take mine from home..
Wrong answer mate!....when they ask that, ya gotta say,
"none as beautiful as your sweet flower honey, lets find a quiet spot and let me taste your nectar"
or something along those lines
hey ya all this is a great place to tour ( and live )and yes there is a lot of odd ball stuff here and there are a few victory's down here i am but 1
cheers
