Stringo, I really like your choice of music! Awesome.

Like the helmet cam heaps more than the bike mounted, you get to see a lot more because it's higher.

I'm thinking that I should take a week off in August. When I do the border run, I should keep going and ride the Great Ocean.

Keep up the great work.

Thanks mate, I thought the Helmet cam was a little too jumpy?
Also the bloddy traffic down there was insane, I wish I had a clean run at it

You will have to re ride the Great Ocean again, and redo part 1.
I know it sounds like a terrible job, but someone has to do it.

Love the choice of music!!!

The helmet cam wasn't too jumpy at all.
I could appreciate the head turning to catch the view.

I wont use my cam in helmet mode, the pic of speedo n tacho is too clear and not good for public viewing.

I did this road 20 plus years ago back in the days of my old CX500 Turbo.

The road looks better now but I'm sure the speed limits were higher and I don't remember that solid white line on some of the longer straights.

I see you've only went as far as Apollo Bay, just under half the distance. With us living in SA we normally come in from the Warrnambool end.

Good vids. Makes me homesick as the GOR was an easy dayride for me when I first got the bike licence, but then I moved to Canberra shortly after.  Did you get a chance to do any of the inland roads connecting up to the GOR?  Gellibrand, Deans Marsh, Timboon etc - some of them are actually better as less traffic.
