You wouldn't want it be loaded as it looks like she's got an itchy trigger finger.
Think the recoil would probably throw Jukie into the middle of last week.

OK so we planned and booked this before I knew the Duc Turismo was on but I'll be down there with a mate and our wives for a week mid march for our own personal Tassie Turismo (13 sleeps!!!)

Any tips....must sees from those that have just returned...live there...been before??

Cheers

Tip to myself is to return as a proper tourist ... fly down and hire a car ... it is too hard for me to play tourist on a bike ... you can't wander too far with full gear on.

As for the roads just do them all. Most enjoyable (that we did) on the moto I would probably say St. Helens to Scottsdale (thanks Bazz) and the road out to Cradle Mountain ... ohh and climbing up that pass that somebody else will have to name for me on the way to Hobart.

I am sure others will have better advice ... no doubt Bazz (Bikeless) will lead you astray, umm I mean, point you in the right direction.

Do you mean over to Poatina towards Bothwell?

I'd also say just do them all, they're all good.  This time (my 3rd) I discovered some new places.  I would do the run out to Strathgordon again - great scenery.  A run down from Hobart round Kettering over to Cygnet on to Huonville is really nice too.

Not forgetting the west coast too.

Let me know if you are going to make it to the north west of Tassie, some great rides over this way off the main roads, be happy to catch up or give you directions
Travel well

If you go West - there's a great road from Zeehan to Reece Dam then back onto the main highway near Tullah, it's a bit bumpy but zero traffic & lovely open sweepers. Then from Tullah head towards Queenstown turn left onto an absolutely rocking road that I call Lake Plimsoll Road, don't know it's real name but it's a road that leaves you with a huge grin on your face & a desperate need to do it again & again.....That brings you back to the highway close to Queenstown; just before Queenstown there's a right turn to Strahan, another great road  [moto]
