Yeap, the Royal National Park, running between Bald Hill(where you saw all the bikes) and Sutherland (the start of civilisation). Weekends can get pretty hectic and lately it's been heavily patrolled by the Police so a weekday run is the better option.
In the olden days the speed limit on the Old Road was 80kmh with a few overtaking lanes and the divided road section in the middle was 2 lanes each way and 100kmh.
It was like a GP every weekend. I used to sit on the side of the road and watch the boys go at it, sometimes 2 or 3 abreast. Needless to say lots of people's percieved skill level far outweighed there actual skill level so there were crashes galore and a few deaths so the fun police dropped the limit to 70kmh. Needless to say no one bothered much with the new speed limit so the carnage continued. Then part of the road colapsed and the road was closed. After much petitioning from car clubs and other interested parties and a big crash which blocked the freeway the Old Road was grudgingly re-opened as a "tourist road" with a 60kmh speed limit and no overtaking lanes with a friendly policeman around every corner to make sure you complied with the new speed limit. Ever since then I haven't bothered heading up there much.
And neither did the a lot of the boy racers who flocked to the Natio creating more carnage. After a few deaths the safety police have vitually killed the Natio applying the same measures as they did to the Old Road. So the speed limit was chopped from 80 to 60kmh and all the overtaking opportunites were taken out with double white lines, and at the moment a friendly policeman around every corner to make sure you comply with the new speed limits.
I was up the Putty Rd a few weeks ago and the safety police have been through there chopping speed limits left right and centre so now it's pretty much a waste of time too if you need your licence for work like I do.
*sigh* The joys of motorcycling in NSW.
As for the shock. It only has spring preload and rebound damping adjustments.
