Firstly glad you got the drone back. Last time my son and I rode the Bulahdelah Bends back in '15 it was so good we had to do it twice! I was one of those school kids from the '60-'70s whose parents drove us North for the summer hols on the old road before it became "The Old Road' and I still love the ride with the obligatory pit stop at Pie in the Sky or the Road Warriors Cafe Mt White. Thanks for this series, great viewing. I once tried to do the same for the Hume Hwy but too much of it has been obliterated unfortunately.

Have been to that motorcycle museum and it's insanely thorough with examples of so many bikes. Definitely stop off there when you can!

Great video mate. I worked on the then DMR out of Gosford. We looked after the Old Pacific Highway to the Hawkesbury river. Also through Peats Ridge. Great ride. Thanks.

A great trip, thanks for doing that. Glad to see you got your drone back safe and sound. I travelled up that way in the late eighties two up on a GPZ 1100 for the World Expo 88, then on up to Fraser Island. An amazing trip to do, and looking forward to doing similar again one day. Thanks for more inspiration to get motivated.

Good to hear the drone survived. Have to keep this route in mind if I go on my Postie bike or Himi.

You could have got off the old Pacific Highway at Asquith and run down the twisties through the national park, then up the other side, more twisties. Rejoining the highway at Bobbin Head Rd and the Pacific Highway traffic lights. Good tarmac and a good fun ride. But if the gate is attended, $12 for the pleasure.

Loved the series, thanks. I used to live in Grafton and drove the Pacific Hwy (old) many many times during the late 70’s early 80’. Shit of a road at the time but didn’t know any better in those days. BTW no roundabouts all all 👍 I remember being in 1 long line of cars heading into Sydney around Peats Ridge. It was just mayhem. It didn’t matter what time of the day or night you were there it was always busy busy busy.

I'm sorry man but I've gotta do it. You turned off the highway near Coopernook to travel Lansdowne Road not Lonsdale Road. That's Lans as in Lands and downe as in the direction. Further South you passed through Nabiac. That's Nab - i (a soft i like in is) and then ac as in ack. I'm 30 years of age this year and I don't think I've ever heard someone say Naibac or Naibacca, so that's definitely a first. Cool video anyway. Keep up the good work.

$600. Almost cheaper to buy a new one but worth it for the cool story.
