Well i will be riding my bike from wollongong around 6:00 PM tomorrow i was think because of the toll's on the M7/M2 should i take my e-tag and put it up on the windscreen and can someone tell me how safe is that ride along that road during the hour's of 5:00 7:00 please this would help me alot thanks

we just called up and got the rego's of the bikes added to the tag - no need to actually carry the etag with you

You should b fine as your going against traffic. Not dangerous as It is freeway most of the way

Awesome thanks for the head's up guys will let u know how my trip went this will be my first time riding my new zx6r for more then 20 mins this trip will take around 1 hour 40 mins

Take some no dose for the trip. Will be as exciting as watching paint dry.

You could spice it up a little by seeing how fast you could do it, with the distinct lack of HWP as the majority are on leave until the double demerit season starts, little chance of seeing them.

If you come up via Picton Road (I gather you will) there are a few road works on the M5 which can cause heavy traffic. Two things to watch for HWP in the construction zone (he will be the only one working) and the knuckle draggers who want to merge and share your lane.

From the 'Gong I'd go up Mt Keira then through the 'Nasho, but then maybe that's just me

Yeah don't sit on the free way it will bore the shit out of especially on a ZX6R
Nasho in summer at night is a good run...

Going through the Nasho will add a stack more time to the trip. Granted it's the way most experienced riders would go but for his first long ride EVER the Nasho and then Sydney traffic might be a bit more than he is looking for at the moment.

As others have said, add your bike to your account and leave the tag at home. Maybe plan a rest stop into the trip. That is a long way to ride on a freeway on a sports bike. When you sit still on a bike at legal speeds you get very uncomfortable, I find the more corners and variation in speeds the longer I can ride before getting uncomfortable but freeway riding sucks donkey dick.

So. How did the ride go Kur?

Well i went today i had to pick the worst day it was raining cats and dogs and i had to ride back for almost 1 hour 40 min's i have to admit it was one of the best ride's i had in year's i mean not many place u get to do 180 on the dash the speed limit was nice 80 percent of my ride was 110 which i was happy but im super stuffed but so far this bike is awesome i mean it really is like a rocket thanks for all your info guys
