Check it out - it's been on my radar for a while now - but the floods kept the road closed for months - I believe she's fully operational again.....

She is 50kms long and called "The Risk"

Great roads in and out of there as well.

Gunna do it in the next few weeks.

Cheers, Diesel

That looks like fun, better wait till any sand/sludge is cleaned of tho, or it may be too exciting.

Diesel,

This is a brilliant road - in fair weather - even in a tin top - up/down/twist around/up down and repeat - commence just before Rathdowney and finish at Kyogle -through the Border Ranges National Park - across the border and sweep through Kyogle to Lismore across to the Pacific Hwy and back up the coast - then ???????????? or or or ??? do it in reverse - equaly as good - refuel man & machine in Kyogle for a break

Forget to mention - about half way - "The Border Loop Spiral" - The NSW answer to the ascent & descent of the rugged North Coast Mountain Range - a Spiral.
As a passenger in the NSW Country Link XPT - if you are to the fore or to the aft - you can see the front or rear of the train - it loops itself three times and if timed right - a freight train - down bound or up bound may be witnessed - good point for a break & short walk to the viewing platform.

Just a thought for a break.

The greatest hazards on the Lions Road are the cow droppings and "grids" or "cattle ramps" (whatever you like to call them). You can skid on both.

The roller-coaster hills are great fun and the NSW downhill side has some great twisties.

hondabob · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:51:30 PM »

beautiful road - can be narrow but is paradise - i think i've been on it - stop at the top rest area & listen to the thousands of bell birds & whip birds-enjoy - check if open after recent floods

:)

harieg · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2012, 07:23:52 AM »

STeveo · « **Reply #14 on:** March 23, 2012, 08:07:37 AM »

Had planned to come north around the first or second weekend of May, so if possible would like to join you on that ride.

Diesel · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2012, 09:38:17 AM »

Well, if Harieg can make the early May date - we'll go for that, if not, I might have to ride it again in Mid May (gosh darn it!)

Keep me posted Steveo, coz there is a great little Pub that serves a great meal 30 clicks past the Qld end when we're done!

Cheers, Diesel
