I've ridden around Victoria many times and lived to make it back into the ACT . . . AND never been booked down there . . In fact I've managed to only ever been booked while riding the motorbike once in my life . . . Been riding since 1966.

You gotta stop riding like a nanna, mate.

I know Biggles, I know . . I guess when I stop riding like a Nanna I'll increase my tyre life from around 8,000ks to 20,000 ks . . I guess that's the secret . . I may even speed up to 80 kph . .

West Aussie by birth, Kalgoorlie. But now live in Victoria and liking it. The roads are poor due to ground movement, the high clay soils really move alot and this in turn causes the many dips humps and bumps in the roads. In fact it kills my back. I have 8 damaged disks between the vertibrae in my back and those dips & humps can really hurt. I hate the roads for that reason.

Add 1 more who lives in Victoria (actually Warragul). I thought that there were originally quite a few of us.

I was born in Victoria, spent my early life on a dairy farm (18 years in the same place, same parents even!) until I moved to Canberra for university and work in 1977. All my family is still down in Victoria. I go there a lot, just got back from there.

If you want to see where I lived the first part of my life look up Carpendeit in google maps, and of courses we lived at the end of Nagles Road.
