Day 1 of the #PowerTrip360 saw us riding around 325 kms from Sydney to Gloucester via the Putty Road. The Putty Road is full of high-speed twisties and is a famous hangout zone for motorcyclists from Sydney. You can see a lot of them riding here particularly on a weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"\"\"It was also the day that saw us riding the fully loaded Ninja H2 and the Ducati 1299 Panigale for the first time. The arrangements we had made for the required luggage on the bikes didn\u2019t disappoint and we managed to fit everything we wanted, well almost everything! The bikes looked out on a task with all those bags loaded. And indeed a big task this is! Covering 20000 kms of one of the greatest riding countries in the world. For Sunny (MotoGrapher), it was the third time around, however for me it was a whole new experience altogether!<\/p>\n

Almost the entire route was through the mountains and it took us around 8 hours of riding, shooting time included, to reach our destination, which is the quiet hill town of Gloucester. The speed limits on most of the route was hovering between 100 and 80 and it was pretty easy to maintain that easy pace throughout the ride. It can be very demanding for anyone who is tagging along with us to keep their wits around when we do our plethora of riding stops.<\/p>\n
