(which is now closed--- good thing too)

I agree...locals used to stand across the road and force traffic to a standstill... if you didn't stop, they pelted rocks at you.

..and all for the purpose of forcing you to buy local crafts.

In my driving days, I used to have a loaded Winchester pump gun under the front bench seat, or the 22 Ruger.

Many years ago, Jeff and I carried 12 gauge shotties in rifle scabbards on the bikes (Licensed and registered, as we belonged to field gun clubs, and used to go trap shooting)... ummm... yes,... there was one instance that we cleared the road ahead with two shots in the air at approximately this location... mmmm...  1973?

Cop at Balladonia some months later checked that they were registered, and we were licensed, and asked why we carried them on the bikes?
Our answer was "Bikes are our choice of vehicle, and a gun case on the bike was too bulky to carry."  He accepted that.

Just saw a couple pull up on a shiny black 13 at Bunnings in Waurn Ponds, I suspect it's the same one I've seen around Geelong now and then. Raced back with my son to say G'day but just missed them heading inside. Left a card, just incase they aren't one of us (yet!).

At least two ST's at Bendigo, Ash Lau's (apparently, thank to Brookester):


And mine:


There may have been more, but a bit hard to tell amongst the Harleys, Suzuki Boulevards (the biguns) and the Victories.  I estimate that Harleys outranked all other makes around 10 to 1 - in terms of numbers, and perhaps 100 to 1 - in terms of noise.
