Welcome

Hi and welcome to my personal blog Motorcycle Paradise, a collection of my riding experiences and the occasion random thought. This site and my attempts at photography are just a hobby and I'm not trying to make either into anything else so some of the road info and photos might be a few years old. More recent info and photos can be found in the ride reports and when I get some time I might transfer this to the original posts. I do not profess to be a word smith so slang, typos and grammar mistakes are all par for the course. Regards IC.

Great motorcycle roads # 25





Obi Obi

Thats Kenilworth to Mapelton not some Star Wars character.

There is a great ride to be had over the Obi Obi Rd that runs between Mapelton and Kenilworth. Basically at this stage you really are best to only ride it in the other direction - Maleny to Kenilworth and on up to Mapelton as a large part of the downhill section of Obi Obi rd is gravel - the road is split into two one lane roads up and down and the climb is fresh tar and good fun with lots of narrow and tight turns. It may be sealed both ways soon so keep and ear open to that or you can ride the gravel easy enough as its not loose enough to bother anyone.



Down in the valley the road is in good order and has been widened and resurfaced in many places from when I last travelled over it turning it into quite a quick ride now.




Twisty rating: 2.
Surface quality: B.

  1. This road is all the justification one needs for owning a Buell XB12R.
