unfortunately the halfway house burnt down a few weeks ago, so no food or petrol, you need to fill up at Bulga or Colo Heights, but the road is still the same  :yahoo:

We were there the week before it burnt down and had a sausage roll and coffee on a run back to Sydney from Merriwa it was always a pleasant place to stop and have a stretch, we were there a week or so ago and as we stopped and looked at it, we heard several sports bikes screaming down the straight from the north, you should have seen their faces when they realised there was no fuel, they crawled off most sedately  :greeting:


I hope it gets rebuilt fairly quickly  :dance2:

I still remember riding the Putty on my first bike (RZ250).
I used to look forward to going to work early on Mondays. :wacko2:
They were still building that M (for monstrosity) thing. :dash2:
Going home on Fridays was a bummer due to the traffic  :ireful: but
I used to pretend I was in the States.  :rofl:

Ode to the Putty is what we need, its almost as good as the road just
outside Torquay. But its been many years since I've been there.

I also have fond memories of the Putty road in the late 60's -early 70's on a Bultaco Metralla 250.
Had to be bloody careful at night- if you revved the thing too hard it would blow the light bulb- SCARY :shok:

It never blew the headlight globe OR the taillight globe unless you missed a shift. If you did miss that shift, you'd be replacing one or the other almost every time.  I learned to carry a spare (still do).

i just rode that today. your right fantastic road, gives the ol' arms a workout hauling the red white terror round the twisties, saw 1 Mr Plod parked  and that was it. fuel up? made it from penrith to singleton and then broke and then cessnock before i was even close to empty.... you blokes must have thirsty girls..... :blum1: heaps of sports bikes tho coupla new beemer inline 4's but mainly honda's and R1's. o and a wrecked suzuki something or other sports jobby..... custom thing cos the fairing was removed and the front wheel was touching the engine... musta needed trick steering..... either that or the ding in the armco was from him.... :scratch_one-s_head:
