Great story...it's not just about rode safety, it's a 'true motorcycling video'. You have captured the essence of 'oneness of rider and machine' gliding through our incredible natural environment. Well done! Mitch
Love your philosophy of riding especially the analogy of long board riding. I was always a long board rider and that style has also transferred over to motorcycle riding. Great video!
Rodney! This bloke did my LAMS course in Newcastle, top guy, very insightful and his wisdom has saved my life once or twice. Good to see him featured on something like this :)
Nicely done - love the memories. I used to take my kids up that road to escape Sydney for the weekend (usually up to Elands). Now I live 800Km north but like to ride the Old Pac any time I'm down that way.
wow - you have given voice and words to exactly why I ride and how I like best to ride. Flowing, smooth lines, easy pace...and why I like to do it on either of my Harley bikes over any others I've ridden. Thank you. Added to my favorites, will watch many times I am sure, and subscribed.
Hey Champo, same, same. I rode an imaginary bike on trips with my family to the Blue Mtns. Now I'm riding a Triumph T100. No ABS, traction control or flash stuff. Just a plain simple bike with a nice colour scheme. I don't ride on weekends because I cycle but I love my hour trip to work and can't wait to head home for another hour session. I ride in all weather because I love the "connection" with everything around me.
I know I am going to sound old but I have such fond memories of riding it when it was still 100 end to end. There was a time when a section of the road was closed after fires in about 1991 when you could ride at 100+ through the corners and only met bikes and performance cars. Not a cyclist or caravan to be seen and as it ended in a dead end you could be liberal with the speeds.
This is amazingly beautiful. I grew up in Port Macquarie and moved to Newcastle for Uni then work, so I'm familiar with this road. Great work on achieving the immersive feel in the video and cinematography. My Dad has been riding and surfing all his life and I've only recently got into riding and can't stop. I'm yet to ride this road but I guarantee you it's on my list. I love that the entirety of this video is basically in our backyard.
These stories are so great. Thanks for making these. Really appreciate all the work that go into these videos. Can't wait until I finally have my license and my own bike
Bo Ismono love your work. I've seen a couple of your video's where you have a white shoei sitting in the background... thought you might already be a rider. Maybe once you get your license and bike you could make some videos on some motorcycle specific packs like the Kriega
Thank you very much, Vardhan. Pretty cool that you found me here and not my own channel :-) Yes, as soon as I have my license, which hopefully should be this summer, then I will try to review some motorcycle specific backpacks ;-) Stay tuned.
If i could ever meet this guy , we will immediately become friends and would be grabbing beers in the evening. Yet another beautiful story a beautiful film.
Evilzin Abyssranger The Enfield belongs to my Partner. Her and her bike was in the shoot, but not the final cut. But you can see them getting around quite a lot.
First rate! They should have this on TV as after watching it it makes me want to go down the OPH at a nice easy pace and check my riding skills rather than blast through it.... not that I do that anyway mind you
Yes, nicely put together video...but it would be given that t's an advert from NSW Gov't (Transport for NSW) with subliminal messages about nice slow bend-swinging and takin' yer time etc. These are same idiots who imposed an entirely inappropriate 60 kmh zone through most of the Sydney end of the Old Road. Very frustrating riding experience and pretty much pointless on weekends.
This is one of those beautiful roads you have to spend more time watching your speedometer than the road and other road users, otherwise you put yourself at serious risk of having a police officer extort money from you and your family. Nice story though.
+2gud4umenglez As Champo says, if you head to the Old Pac with an attitude of riding gracefully and not treating the road like a racetrack, the cops won't have to bother you. Plus it's a stunningly beautiful ride. I wouldn't let a bit of policing get in the way of being a part that.
This is false. I've been riding for 20 years. Everyone I used to ride with stopped riding the old road 10 years ago. First, the speed limits were cut in half. Yes, for all you younguns, it used to be 100/80. Then there was the astounding regularity of exhaust decibel testing, pulling over all bikes for random noise tests, issuing defects which were, in every case I am personally aware of, resolved with no modification. I guess the meters just happened to be incorrectly calibrated every time, eh? Then the cops were there pinging everyone for any minor thing they could find. I was once up for a group ride with a responsible group - aus.moto - being led by a 1952 BMW. Obviously we weren't hooning. We were all pulled over and inspected regardless.

Makes me want to go ride!

So great
Love your philosophy of riding especially the analogy of long board riding. I was always a long board rider and that style has also transferred over to motorcycle riding. Great video!
I really like how safety conscious this new series is. No foolin'
Always an inspiration. Great video and thank you for making this kind of work. It's therapeutic
Some of the best motorcycle videos on youtube.
Great to see Story of bike back, good to see the safety aspect put from an experience point of view instead of a policing point of view.
This channel always inspires me to make my content on my TH-cam channel more cinematic. Love the heart and effort that has gone into this ❤️
Rodney! This bloke did my LAMS course in Newcastle, top guy, very insightful and his wisdom has saved my life once or twice. Good to see him featured on something like this :)
Strat0s. Hey Dude. Thanks. Glad you’re still alive.
R Champo very welcome champo, ride safe
So Good to see another video always look forward to new episodes. Really enjoy the way they are directed and filmed absolute pleasure watching them.
Nicely done - love the memories. I used to take my kids up that road to escape Sydney for the weekend (usually up to Elands). Now I live 800Km north but like to ride the Old Pac any time I'm down that way.
Brilliant work as always. So glad to see you posting again!
Fantastic video! Going for flow and smoothness rather than speed B-)

Awww yeee. The production value just went up!
Got a little excited when I saw the NSW government attachment there :)

Beautifully done! I can also relate to the imaginary bike. :)
Amazing as always, thank you for creating videos like these. It inspired me to create motorcycle videos that are of the same standard.
Thanks! Great video... Always weirds me out, though watching a bike riding on the left. Guess it just shows how used to the right side I am!
Rich Story me too! I was thinking the same thing. 😁
Just loved it, I have started putting bike videos on TH-cam and was looking for a cinematic inspiration. This is it!
Too many good memories on this road and the Mount White cafe every Sunday. That was all another lifetime 😢
Love the video. captures the essence of freedom that we all enjoy as motorcyclists.
One of the best short film ive ever watched on youtube great story superb film making👍
All of these are such good stories. 😀 Thank you.
Love you stories please bring out new ones

Like the Swansea S bends a couple of years later...
What a great little video. It's for more than just riders to enjoy. 👏
excellent work with the cinematography bringing his story to life
It was a beautiful road no matter what the speed. Actually riding it slowly/ slower probably gives you more chance to enjoy the ride.
awsome so glad these vids are back
Simply Soulful

Awesome video! Love the Old Pacific Highway!
Beautiful. Love the message.. and visually inspiring.

Great work; keep 'em coming!
This is amazingly beautiful.

Bike safty: Be Seen Not Hurt.
I'm not crazy, I'm not the only one that images a motorcycle ahead when I'm in a car.
how you film these shots
if you can share
Can I get the background music of this video?? It's so good
Nice video, but HWP have so many cars up there each weekend, good luck going over 60km/h without getting booked.
Was thinking highway 101 pack coast 🚲
if you can plz make a video how you film
behind the scenes camera work angle
What is the music in the background?
NOTICE the Royal Enfield Café Racer at 0:57
What a fortunate guy, having 2 café racers! (modded or not)
Evilzin Abyssranger The Enfield belongs to my Partner. Her and her bike was in the shoot, but not the final cut. But you can see them getting around quite a lot.
I REALLY need to talk with you about a very unique bike, it's rider, it's ride, and a few bits more. How can I contact you outside the public domain?.
Sure thing. Head to the website and you'll find my contact details there.
Hi from a new subscriber
Nice video
Welcome! Thanks for the sub!
good job mate, love to hear more stories
First rate! They should have this on TV as after watching it it makes me want to go down the OPH at a nice easy pace and check my riding skills rather than blast through it.... not that I do that anyway mind you
I hope nobody thumb down this video.
Rides you ride on roads you rode to go to new roads to ride new rides on
Tongue Twister, as twisted as the road.
❤️😍👊🏻✊🏻💨
AdjrianNickelodeon have you seen this, such a great channel
oblio stone no
Nothing can prepare you from a collision with a vehicle. Though you can at least be suited up to survive.
Mantap
That's how I like it laid back
How am I just finding these!! How do I come shoot with you guys!
Hey William, welcome! Where are you based?
Stories of Bike Im based in LA - but got lots of camera stuff and bike :] if you guys ever need a local hire!

This is how the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper. TS Eliot. People subscribing to and applauding government propaganda?
You quote TS Eliot and use this word "propaganda". I do not think it means what you think it means... ;)
The not-so-subliminal message is ride safe don't be an idiot. I applaud them for it.
What is the name of the motorbike?
masuo takathin, it's a 2007 Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom (XL1200C). Modified into a cafe racer.
R Champo , thank you for teaching me the name !
The custom is so cool.
Another Champness in Newie???!
C Smith. Yep. Newy has a high concentration of us.
Wish we had these kind of roads in India

Nicholas Kemp if you are familiar with your bike you do not need to be watching the speedo. I know how
My bike feels at 60, 70, 80...
All the regulars know this road is packed with cops all the time, not worth giving it the beans.
+2gud4umenglez As Champo says, if you head to the Old Pac with an attitude of riding gracefully and not treating the road like a racetrack, the cops won't have to bother you. Plus it's a stunningly beautiful ride. I wouldn't let a bit of policing get in the way of being a part that.
This is false.
I've been riding for 20 years. Everyone I used to ride with stopped riding the old road 10 years ago.

There is no shame in being a hipster😅....just glad he has a full face helmet and leather jacket
don't know why most of stories are from australia?
Because that's where we live. :)
