Come on. Where not that badda bunch down here.

Gotta admit, I know more QLDers and NSWelshmen with Rockets than I do Vics too.

Seems the Sports bike was the prefered choice of entertainment down here.
Seems like the countryside down here is overun with Sprints and Speedies of various forms. The rest of em are on Bonnies.

I guess they just never found the real pot of gold in the showroom when they were looking for a new Trumpy.

Have to admit had a 82 Kwaka 1000, and kwaka 750 ltd whilst in Victoria. Miss the Great Ocean Road a bloody great ride completed many times. Snow field roads in Victoria have to be some of the best in the country, especially when about 30 years younger riding without fear.

Guess what, they're you're Politicians, they just visit here because you keep sending the Bastards!!!!

I just spent a large part of the day in the gallery of the Senate, what a waste of good Oxygen!!, the place was chockers while the first part of the days prceedings was dealt with, then as soon as the important stuff csame up (Fairness for Firefighters amendment) they all buggered off and the Bill was voted on by 11 Senators!!!! There were more senate staff in the chamber than paid politicians. What a scam the whole outfit is.

Keep you elected Reps at home and Canberra would be a much nicer place. Get them to use the internet or conference calls and save the free airfares!!

The way the state and federal governments of Australia are cutting operational budgets from all our emergency services including hospitals is paramount to plans for murder. If I ever see a government vehicle involved in an accident, I for one would sit and watch the bastards die, wouldn't be worth a phone call.

It's far worse when we consider the men and woman who put their lives at risk for the rest of us are in more danger doing their job than those of us that need their help, the greatest shame of our politicians.

Left Victoria in 1992, worked out of Wodonga driving for Peter Harris Transport and Don Watsons Transport, experienced the weather for 30 years, and I grew up enjoying 4 seasons in one day.

West Australia not to far from Rockingham as it happens. Whilst WA wont have the most rockets we clearly have a more superior quality and exclusive rocket here than in the rest of the provInces

Add them if you want , only one of them gets on here and not very often. That's Mike from Darwin. He's got a turbo Rocket and building up a supercharged second bike as we speak. The rest of them wouldn't know how to turn a computer on i don't reckon

I've heard of Rockingham. Nice bit of country.
Used to live at the top of the hill in Hale Rd Wembley Downs back in the 80s. Could see from the front door all the way to Scarbough Beach Hotel.
Used to pass thru your way going down to visit my sister in Narrogin.

It was a town out by itself back then but had filled in a lot when I was last there 8 years back. I'd reckon there'd not be much vacant land between the main city and Mandurah these days.

Hi ,yea its alot bigger now 120.000 live here i think now. not alot of clear space between Perth and Mandurah either,
