A Tour of the (Old) Pacific Highway

[@UDPride]

Never mounted a motorcycle in my life, yet I watch every video to the end. I appreciate the solitary freedom of getting away on the open road. I do it with my cars. Hambone does it with a motorbike. Same thing.

[@calum3527]

Did a drive there today on my Ls even though I was in my dads outlander I loved taking the corners as fast as I could ahah

[@bsct71]

Was out on the OPH today. Haven't really ridden in anger on this road since they've changed the speed limit. Used to ride along the "second section" a lot faster than I did today. Wish they'd changed it back.

[@JackDG_]

I'm from the Gold Coast but take frequent holidays to Sydney and Gosford area. The Old Road is such a nice road and even better when you stop at Pie in the sky. Great Video!

[@Enrgkiid]

I went to milson Island for my yr6 camp..It was awesome!

[@trooperandcooperale3057]

I haven't been on that road in years, many years, at least pre 90's. Thanks for the memories.

[@twowheeler1000]

This was very relaxing to watch after a stresfull day. Thanks for the upload. I love the happy sound that little ninja makes too!

[@ratlerrepresent]

Love the scenery. I think that's what I like most about "Vlogs". We all get see different places in depth through the eyes of the lens. Great video!

[@peterausburn3942]

Pmdw, grew up at the Calga interchange, 57 to 78. Saw a lot of changes in that time.

[@aussiedrifter]

G'day mate, Very nice video & I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The road you are travelling on is actually what we used to call the hew highway, & there was another road that we called the old road. This is giving my age away a bit but anyway as a kid we lived in Newcastle & would normally get up at 04.00 in the morning & after brekky would start off around 06.00 taking the old road (original) & normally arrived in Sydney around 14.30 the trip taking 8 & a half hours. Back in the day it was a major trip & adventure for a young bloke, anyway thanks for the memories Mate, Steve.

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Yea will have to organise something soon, just hard to find time!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Hi Yogi, thanks for watching!

[@DumpThaClutch]

I always love your intro songs you find aha very different than all the same mainstream stuff.

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Of course!

[@abdelrrazak]

Never heard of Elro before. I love your music taste! You introduced me to some very good artists dude!!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

lols. This is in my opinion the most fun road in NSW.

[@SupaNautica]

I bought a suction cup mount and did the old PAC last Saturday, on my way down. Suction cup mount is quite shaky, not very impressed with it. Might have to try the pole mount next, from my riser bars on the old Zephyr

[@minimat08]

Going to hopefully ride Sunny Coast -> Sydney in December, definitely going to hit the Old Pac HWY.

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

I agree, knifey is great.

[@grahammason8015]

1963 fell a sleep coming down past mt penang knocking down guide post woke me up the old vanguard built like a tank suffer nothing

[@Slipprymongoose]

Cool cruisy ride I don't think I drove on that when I was down there last week

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

I remember. It was one of those "damn, bit too fast here, no oncoming cars? Too lazy to self correct, will cut this corner slightly.." haha

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Launching as we speak......

[@gavinkim6573]

[@Jubeixo]

[@matey182]

Road Warriors has never been the same since Max left.

[@RynoSkillz-nw7bl]

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Better views and food on RNP, but more fun at Old Pac !

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Thanks for watching and good luck w/ the bike!

[@juicyjase540]

Great walkthrough mate! What do you think of the Old Pac compared to the Royal National Park?

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Cheers Tony!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Thx Ken

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Hmm, never been there. Thanks for watching :)

[@blokebeershed7651]

My pop drove from Gordon to Gosford and back in 2hours in his xu-1 torana! Hahaha

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Thanks Kurt!

[@NinjaFadd]

I went to Milson Island for year 6 camp haha! :)

[@phatng0]

pink hyena featherduster. Great clip for me, a newbie of the purest sense (passed my L's 3 weeks ago and managing a short local practice run almost every day so far). No twisties as yet, when do you reckon it's feasible to take this ride on? I'm on a suzuki GS500. I suppose it depends on the rider, sill question!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

My biggest fan!

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

Grinding down those pegs = bad arse!! Great map btw lets hope i dont get lost ;)

[@sickwild284]

PurpleMonkeyDishWasher went the other day for the first time and it was so freakin good man thanks for the tour!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Thanks Matt!

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Really? That road surface though. Other direction isn't too bad though

[@demonofthefall93]

I took my car through that doing 80 most of the way ( ;) ) and theres this certain bit of road about half way through to the large bridge down a long hill, and theres this huge dip in the road, and I bottomed out so hard I was surprised I didn't destoy my mufflers

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

Cheers Brendan!

[@TheSlashfan21]

...purplemonkeydishwasher... I really enjoyed this video. Beautiful clear road with the golden light of the evening sun...more of that please ;D

[@breightyeight4421]

[@MrChowTheTroll]

Those traffic signals (which were off) on those roads, seemed pretty pointless.... i drove on that road, and i questioned about those traffic signals, and what the point in them

[@Beaver314]

Is it my imagination or does the asphalt look a little greasy? Did it rain recently? You're riding through there nice and smooth if it did! You Tastey Stoner, you! Oh and Cyan Zebra Garbagedisposal!

[@HAIRYBIKER777]

What was that in the sky in front of you at around 01:55? Looked like a parachutist to my old eyes :)

[@IroncladSaucer]

Hey ham! great video! I want to know if I can come and ride with you?

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

[@ltsThinHaze]

Purple monkey dishwasher. Is it crazy that in my state of Washington there is a Pacific Highway and it's the motorcyclist dream. Im only 17 but I go every week and no matter my mood I have fun. wish I had a track by me

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

What's a matter was RaceOnTwoWheels taken? :P

[@nicolasrodrigue529]

I have the same bike as you (2011 blue 250r) i'm in canada. Nice road but your driving on the wrong side :p. It would be hard to get use to it. Hope ill visit and ride your country some day.

[@lzorazzl4741]

thanks !

[@tastyhamsandwhich]

You should stop being so awesome.

[@nitroxlodd]

When are you gonna get a bigger bike?

[@ATW.91]

PurpleMonkeyDishwasher. Good advice through those challenging/deceptive corners. 1st and 3rd section are my favourites also, 1st takes the cake on a clear, fast run. Your principal in year 6 sure is a bitch too haha

[@galaxxy09]

Tastey! Lets go for a rise one day!

[@GamingJamesGames]

Purple Monkey Dishwasher. I'm only 10 years late to watching this video but enjoyed it nonetheless. Stay Safe and Happy Riding.
