ROADS WE RIDE – Oxley Highway

Veteran motorcycle tourer Alex Donnelly and his wife Ann have travelled throughout Australia on two wheels. They consider the Oxley Highway in New South Wales as one of Australia’s best roads and is one they “keep going back to”. With 150km of corners the Oxley is a motorcyclists dream, but its location means getting there from a major city takes time.

In this edition of ‘Roads We Ride’ Alex shares some of his own tips on the safest way for motorcyclists to tackle the Oxley. The long journey there, and frequent tight corners can lead to fatigue. As Alex says anticipating risks and being prepared is essential for anyone new to this great stretch of Australian road.

‘Roads We Ride’ is a motorcycle safety series with a difference. Created in partnership between Transport for NSW, Stories of Bike and Pipeburn, the series presents beautiful motorcycling roads and the local riders who know them well.
