Nice riding dude … Just got back from doing the range this morning on my Yamaha XJR1200. Up the Gillie Range down the Kuranda Range via Atherton and Mareeba. What a way to spend a few hours, what a place to live and own bikes …
How high above the tank did you have the camera mounted? I ask because I have an '06 sv1000 & have been trying to get some decent on-bike vids. I mounted my camera about 90mm above the tank but the tacho is still in the way of the road ahead :(
I'm impressed! :D i thought the Aussies had shit roads like the Americans, but with roads like that and constant biking weather I'd emigrate... just need to persuade the missus! :P
@nd on the coopers and the Kuranda? range on the other side of cairns is great also. and im moving back in 3 months all i need is to update to a sv1000
you live a life in heaven down there, down under. I live in sweden, among snowbears 8 months a year. but, once time every 3rd year I visit som relatives down under. and last time we're spending som hollydays near Cairns, and I got the opportunity to visit gilles range.... Well, Im in love. Dont know what Im doing over here, I should move.
Great movie, makes me smile and miss your fosters beer
Nice place to ride. look like the roads in eastern TN, West VA & Northern NC. Nice bike you have, That makes it even more fun.

The wallopers frequent more the open roads.. but one can still get stung for crossing the double lines ~ which I tend to do on this ride!

Fantastic, bit like the Great Ocean Road here in Vic, but without the traffic chaos. Bet you ride the Gillies often.

Should you come to France, try to ride it up to the Ventoux mountain, you will love the place and scratch your knees!

If you want an excellent Australian brew, I recommend "Cooper's Pale Ale" in the green-label bottle. Give it a try if you can find it!
