I drove on a road just like that last week and to be fair it did have a sign that said " no trucks, caravan or trailer access". Nearly 30km of it and it gave my campervan a really good test out for it's maiden voyage.

Yrs ago.
Down in SA.
There used to be a "logging road".
from The Deli b4 Cape Jervis across State forests to Victor Hrbr?.
Around 35\40ish km.

Was absolute magic on the bikes. Fast. A mix of tight and long drifters
and a few blind bends with close timbers. and enough straights with hairpins to keep it interesting.
Where you could almost guarantee to meet a logger coming the other way.
The amount of times you were sliding, then dodging pines at 80 plus was beautiful.

The dodgy bits were when you met a couple or more bikes\cars. coming the other way.
Everybody ended up spearing off.

Even counting track work.
That was one of the best pieces of the planet for bikes. Bar none.

Oh. Was 30 to 40 yrs ago. Long closed now.

I have no idea where it is. It was a picture on Pinterest. I too suspect it was photoshopped.

Found it again. It says its Wisconsin Highway 42. It was a travel blog.

I sent it to a Lismore mate/Site Engineer asking if he designed it....he replied it looks mighty like a stretch of road between Nimbin and Lismore...any one familiar with that stretch?..Hoo Roo

The road from Nimbin to Lismore is great compared to the road from Kyogle to Nimbin.

Depending what you've been smoking in Nimbin all roads out of it could look like that

We have a road similar to that but much steeper in Albany WA it's called the zigzag. Lived not far from it and we used it for racing down with our hill trolleys never did make it all the down in one piece.
