12 minute club... sounds like a 'Temporary Australian' colonyPut safety first on Gorge Rd by: Brittany Dupree From: East Torrens Messenger November 16, 2011 12:02PM
Motorcyclist Liv Andersen has been riding for 40 years but refuses to use Gorge Rd.
VETERAN motorcyclist Liv Andersen feels safer on a motorbike than in a car - but she refuses to ride on Gorge Rd.
"Gorge Rd is a fairly narrow road and it is where most of the fatalities have been," Ms Andersen tells the East Torrens Messenger.
"It is also home of the 12 minute club, which involves guys racing from Lobethal to the bottom of Gorge Rd in 12 minutes to qualify as a club member.
"It is not a road I choose to ride anymore because it is too dangerous."
Ms Anderson, who has been riding motorbikes for more than 40 years, is urging fellow riders to be safe on the road.
Her plea comes in the middle of a police motorcycle safety campaign focusing on crash hotspots, such as Gorge Rd.

I don’t care how liberated this world becomes – a man will always be judged by the amount of alcohol he can consume – and a woman will be impressed, whether she likes it or not.

That road is no more dangerous than the knobs who do burnouts or destracted drivers in city traffic 
It all comes down to how you ride it.....
