come for a ride with me :-)
Do you see this twisty mountain pass,
see how it snakes off into the distance ....
Well come on don't just stand there ..hop on the bike and lets go for a ride down it ... we have to be careful though
sheep and rocks abound ..it's why I have bought a radiator guard, so no warp speeds here ..lol
the twitching around like at 3.07 for example is just rock avoidance ..lol
watch on youtube in HD for best picture in HD :-)

but who wants to go fast through that scenery anyways...
Me and Kerri quite often go up through our Gippsland region (very similar to where you were then) and the roads are not quite that narrow , but they are narrow for my old 1000F bus ..LOL ....
I just cruise at very low speed
dodging all the cow poo and stuff scattered on what seems every bend ....and we just sight see 
and talk which I have to do by turning my head and not watching where om going on and off ...!!
Very relaxing it is ... until a freaking huge bloody cow pops up in the middle of the road !! that wakes me up !! real quick !! and usually Kerri then starts doing this to me
while we are riding along , as we both recover from the shock ...

You know, it's just mean to keep rubbing it in like this Jules...
I think for me though, it'd be worth taking some time to try and clear those rocks for a little peace of mind and maybe allow me to run the bike a little more... those things look pretty big n treacherous!
And they're all over that first stretch there! Not much you can do about the sheep I guess.. that's a very cool little stretch there!
Very pretty scenery and a lovely ride, as usual!

I agree that there's no reason to go fast through a place as beautiful as that anyway. The sheep must make it interesting! I found a great mountain road like that a couple of weeks ago in West Virginia. I couldn't go fast on it because of rocks and gravel but I didn't want to anyway. Keep bringing us the great videos.

I tend to ride slowly throught this kind of scenery anyway and stop to take pics when I see a nice view :-) .. in younger days I used to just charge through these places at warp speed ... now me and the bike are often at the side of the road, resting and admiring views instead ..lol ... yes, I am turning slowly beige!!
I am happy to do these videos if people are enjoying them, they are fiddly to set up but kinda fun to do especially when you get a decent one in the bag :-)

That was lovely Jules thanks for the trip. Must see if we can get a few folks from
different parts to do same, it would make for a fun video library.
