I just spent a two weeks down there for work. Just driving the hire car through town from the airport to the motel room was bad enough. Horizontal rain, train tracks cars everywhere. I thought "no one would ride in this" yet every freezing fu@#%$^ cold early morning, there they were the Melbourne motorcyclists out there and doing it. I havta take my hat off to you guys and girls, you got more balls then me. Now I just look at Brisbane peak hour as a luxury tour. Cheers, Andy
