Mind you, I still prefer his Panhead.

They also look like those nicest people that were supposed to ride Honda's at the time.

To counterbalance that, here's a shot of Pigpen from the Grateful Dead on his XLCH.

PB, just found this, shows a ride up Bella Ck Rd west of Imbil, that I've suggested to you as a great hillclimb, then south past Jimna down Monsildale Rd, where the young lady dropped the traily on a slippery creek crossing.

Had to laugh, I've run both the Sporty and the Vic bagger up and down Bella Ck road, and the other Vic up Monsildale Rd. Think I've even posted a pic on here of the Vic High Ball on Monsildale Rd.

Bella Ck Rd will eventually be cut, drowned when they put the pumped hydro scheme in upstream of Borumba dam, probably closed off and solely for construction traffic well before then.

Update: When I went into the area west of Widgee I was following un named lines on a paper map in the early 2000's, carrying a compass and acutely aware that the Sportster only had 10 litres of fuel.  Checking now looks like I went up Upper Thornside Rd, and at least once came down Threlkeld Rd. This is really steep country, and I really wasn't too sure where I was sometimes. Came out once near the old copper smelter ruins, once down into Kilkivin, and once in Blacksnake. On the Blacksnake day, I think I was on private property for a couple of kms, nobody came to look but a Sportster cutting through the back paddock isn't particularly unobtrusive. If you get to the old Manumbar gold mine, best not go for a swim in the clear blue water of the tailings dam, and Definitely don't drink any, it's high in cyanide.

PB, now this might seem a strange place to look for ride information, but this bloke is a bicycle nutter, if you look at his maps he seems to have covered most quiet backroads in SE Qld. From his ride maps you can click through to the part of his blog that details the ride with included pics. 

The link goes to a loop from Kilkivan to Woolooga to Widgee and back to Kilkivan on the roads I mentioned in the edit to my last post. Best to stay off the designated bicycle trails like the Brisbane Valley Rail Trails, but then I've never had any hassle on them after midnight.

big thanks from them ob amazing info
