Perth Ring
Now before you start rolling your eyes about Captain Starfish's obsession with all things ring, this is different.
Forget Nurburg.
Forget Paris.
Perth has its own ring.
Reid, Roe, Kwinana, Mitchell.
81km.
Just took me 61 minutes. At or below the speed limit, no splitting, no misbehaving at all. Got mostly red lights although there wasn't a lot of traffic.
This is not a challenge - I wouldn't want to encourage speeding on semi-suburban roads, being irresponsible or having fun or anything.
Just an interesting (to me) bit of riding/geography trivia.
Be interesting to see what differences in time of day, traffic conditions etc made to that time.
So yeah, bored? Do the Perth Ring. Post your (or "your mate's") time...

Sitting on Perth's most boring roads for over an hour?
Pass.
A cannonball run with three or four mates, all on high-powered "hyperbikes", is the only way I'd ever bother.
p.s. check your mobile.

No boys n girls, let's not promote speeding or anything on good quality, multilane roads with long stretches of no lights on 'em.

No-one breaking any laws or suggesting any laws be broken in this thread, so far as I can see.
And if someone <cough>lied<cough> and posted a 28 minute time, for example, what are they guilty of? Hmmm, mistyping?

Best time = NOW
Most fun time = peak hour

This thread's shit.
No-one is going to be stupid enough to post a time if they did it, and if they did, they'd get shot down for lying.
It's going to deteriorate into a whole bunch of "my 'friend' said" and "*cough*me*cough*" wank.

well, im assuming the aim of the game is to get the lowest score.
therefore: best time = least amount of traffic x least probability of police interference.

I know, Sentry, it sucks. Stretch yourself. This one isn't about corners. It's about "mobile chicane negotiation". There are some tutorial videos about to help you master this technique, I think maybe five or so of them, mostly in Sweden and mostly of some random guy on a naked turbo hayabusa...
