A Simple message for anyone considering a trip north and doing Buckets and Thunderbolts way,
Dont
A more rutted, bumpy, piss poorly patched goat track C**T of a road have I never before encountered.
Whoever is responsible for maintaining that road should be strung up by their pubic hairs and the Rubber Chicken of Justice should be used to beat them insensate
To put it in the right context so you dont roll your eyes and think, Wuss, the mate I was riding with was on an R1200GS and even he was about ready to pack it in.
Having said that, once you hit Armadale and head back towards the coast, the road to Dorrigo, thence on to Bellingen, is Sublime.

Re: Thunderbolts Way
Its been like that for a long time now..........
Luckily there is Waterfall Way and the Oxley.... Actually the New England Highway is even a better run than Thunderbolts......
