Just found this, don't know much yet, have to look into it more.
This YouTuber is a gal that rides motorcycles and posts videos. I have not watched the whole video but in one she travels to Australia to ride a coast road, I'm not sure which one because I have not seen it all. The road is apparently being eroded by the ocean, sadly, the clip I checked was beautiful and sad.

Anyway, she rents a CB750 to make the ride and comments that it is her first experience with a vintage bike with no nanny's or other modern gadgets. I will have to go back and take in the whole video to find out more.

Very sad about the coast road in Australia, I'm sure folks there are not happy.

Hey, that's my bike!
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

i watched that last night, it was interesting seeing a tourist getting the hang of our roads

the place where she stops to check out the flood carnage used to be a pretty place, i've stayed there in the past, the flora and fauna are pretty resilient down there so by next year you won't even know it happened

and the stuff she says about the ferry is spot on, $160aus, $110us,  ( for a return trip across the heads of Port Phillip Bay ( probably a bit over 10 miles each way ), pure tourist rip off rates
but all in all the Ocean Road is still a great ride, despite the 50mph speed limit and the fcukwit international tourists who don't always know which side of the road we drive on, it used to be a lot emptier and had 60mph limits most of its length, used to be a great race track in summer or even a dry winters day, no tourists at all then. rode it years ago with a local on his XS650, we were on big 4's and couldn't get near him
i blame Terry

I watched it all the way, thinking of you guys in Australia. It didn’t sound like it was running that well, almost like it was on 3 or the carbs were not in synch. Good video, great to see a younger rider on the CB750.
