Thunderbolts Way Condition?

Hi boys and girls
anyone been along thunderbolts after the rains?
any feed back would be appreciated on road condition as im looking at a ride that way soon,
Cheers

Ive driven it from Inverell to the Pacific Highway twice in the last two weeks. Its all cleared with no delays.

It used to be bad with potholes and gravel etc, how about that 98?

Still great fun though, love stopping at the lookout up the top!

Thanks 98ninja,did you notice what the road surface was like......, from a sports bike view point?

Yeah Tim, I cant remember a clean run up that way for maybe 4-5 years,
I was hoping roadworks might have been done?
and wondering if recent rains had taken there toll?
'98 zx600 was a fun FUN bike, no longer with me, really miss the buzz of that bike!!!

It was ok to drive on. Its a long road that goes through a few different council areas so you can hardly expect
race track quality.

Between Nowendoc and Walcha was absolute crap last time I rode that way 2 years ago.
The Pothole and patching was done for miles creating a very poor surface for bikes.
I haven't heard of any decent road works being done, so I haven't been back since.
I now go Gloucester, Nabiac, Highway and then the Oxley to Walcha, or from the west I go through Nundle to Thunderbolts into Walcha.

Hasn't changed smithy5 except more patchwork on patchwork as they do

If that's the road I'm thinking of it's pretty much the worst sealed road I've ever ridden/driven!

Thanks for the input guys, sounds like nothing has changed, such a shame it used to be one of the all time rides
