    had a great run from geelong with maybe 60 to 80 bikes. I reckon a couple of thousand in Melbourne. will it make a difference? probably not but to do nothing but complain without action gives us no right to complain. just my humbled opinion

    cheers cactus.

    Despite the naysayers doom and gloom predictions the effort was well worth it...the story is out in the National media domain now ...not just cooped up in here..

    Whether it makes a big difference is unlikely,  todays protest wont bring down the Newman LNP of course, but any negative story about any Govt gives their

    strategists the shits.....and thats a tad better than where this was yesterday IMO....

    Onya to all the riders nationally who rode...whats better to do on a sunday, on any sunday.

    Cheers fella's, good to see comradery and unity hasnt died out.
    If we have any chance of holding these mongrels accountable, we need to make a noise!
    Awesome effort for those who could manage the time.

    would have been better if there were more crotch rockets... bit of a one sided affair

    Hear what you are saying there Ho ... but there were quite a few Jappa`s and European amongst the Hundreds of Harleys up here in Qld ... and I think there will be more coming on side if the stories are true that the police are going to target some favourite Jap bike stomping grounds .

    I heard there were some people down from as far away as Mackay, that puts them a couple of hours further away than I was, and that took me 10 hours of riding to get there. and a rather numb bum to boot. Not sure if I can do the ride to Canberra that may be in the pipeline, I will have to see how much hollidays I have left before I can decide.
