    Would love to, but I rarely have time any more. Once in a while, I'll sneak off at work for a lunchtime drive but that's getting rare too with the project starting to get behind schedule.

    Although if I'm ever to come to grief, that'd be the place. I've lost the brakes on the Liberty coming down Brindabella Rd. That was interesting...

    And the tyres on both cars don't seem to fare much better... hehe

    In the lancer i used to get the brakes working pretty hard by that point... smoking and such, on the bike the pads are usually coming on... because im quite soft.

    I'd be no different on a bike. Just not the type of road for shenanigans on a bike.

    corner speeds are lower, but the between corner speeds are a lot higher, i haven' taken the pulsar through there yet.. think it could be pretty good.

    Bikes are frustratingly slow on those roads and most don't have the balls to admit that they're slower and let the car pass.

    There's only, like, 3 Red Roosters in Canberra. Actually, one is in Queanbeyan, so there's 2!

    Sif that is ever the trendy part of town.... or has that abortion of an apartment block done something for the locale?
