This shot was taken on a road known as" The old road" (Pacific Highway, Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia)
The rider was going in excess of 100KM/H (60MPH) It is a very popular road for some really hard cornering and exciting riding. C&C welcome.

I assume that was before part of it fell away?

We had some heavy rain over our June long weekend (9 to 11 June) that caused a lot of local flooding in the Hunter and Central Coast as well as causing a 10 metre wide section of the Old Pacific Highway to collapse as a family was driving over it, costing 5 lives. The OP comes from that area and as his pic is devoid of EXIF data , my question was to find out if the image was taken before or after the collapse. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my question.

I took the shot about 6 months ago. A section of the road is closed now and I think it will be a long time before it is opened again.

Sorry for the late reply jbimages. I was day dreaming as usual.

Oh! I thought that it was a case of one Aussie suggesting that another's bike had parts falling off it.

Thanks for that.

I saw a Blue Trike with a Volkswagen motor in Dubbo on the Long Weekend. The owner said it was built in Gosford
