Motorbikes run to Phillip Island

The last few years at Phillip Island MotoGP time, we've gone to Cranbourne to see hundreds of Harleys, and every other make of motorcycle, get waved off on their way down to Phillip Island for the Grand Prix.

The trouble with this is that everyone else has the same idea.

This year, I took Bradley to Tooradin, which is only about 15 minutes out of Cranbourne, to beat the crowd.  We just pulled up in the service lane of the Main Street and watched the hundreds of bikes roar through under police escort.

Motorbikes "run to the island" through Tooradin.
