On my way to work this morning I got hit with some school traffic and decided to find an alternate route, and I found a cracker of a road (even if it is only a short one). The road was a bit wet this morning from some light showers overnight, and with some multiple surfaces it creates some unexpected surprises. Please note that this review is taken within legal road limits. I do not encourage 'hooning' or performing illegal acts on public roads. Please respect the road rules at all times and take note of advised speeds (marked in yellow) before making your own judgement. Protheroe Rd - Forgan Rd, Cashmere (Speed Limit: 80kph) When heading from Protheroe Road, the first left hander (40kph) is slightly banked and has an open rough asphalt surface. The apex of the corner doesn't have much grip when wet, so be careful not to hit it too quickly. As the road opens you get a nice high speed winding section up to the top of the hill before a set of blind esses (50kph) dropping down a 16% grade. The esses tighten and open up again, but be careful not to tackle too quickly as there is a solid concrete gutter on the outside that's going to make a mess of your rims if you come over the crest with too much speed. As you arrive at the end of the road keep to the inside line - the road narrows over a blind crest with loose gravel on the side of the road. If you have any good cruise roads please share them. I'll endeavour to keep updating this first post with your favourite roads to make it easy for everyone to find them.

Hi, Looking to ditch the bike and get back into playing with cars. Not game enough to have too much fun on the bike, and miss having something to take for a hill squirt or track day. Have two kids, mortgages etc, so not willing to give it a go on the bike. It's a 04 Kawasaki Z750 It only has 21500kms on it and I am the third owner. Owner before me had two bikes, as well as a boat and a second car, so did not get a huge amount of use. Owner before that, apparently, had a number of bikes and only was selling this one due to cancer and no use. Full service history. No mods apart from aftermarket mirrors. No accident history. Bike is in great condition. Could nearly pass for a new bike it's that clean. It's always kept undercover, even when I take it to work, hence the workshop pics bellow. Looking for $6500 firm or willing to swap for a s13 or s14 with cash either way. Not looking to put a lot of cash on top, so s15's would be out, unless you want to get rid of it cheap. Real cheap. Silvia wise, ideally looking for s14, but either model has to have no accident history, no sunroof and preferably manual.
