Rocket.... I spent some of my miss-spent youth in Canberra and I gotta tell you, you HAVE to be with a local. Everything is hidden in that joint. And if your not, then sure, it does seem like the place shuts down. But you can't tell me that with an influx of around 20000 bikers, the pubs won't be full of waries ('war-stories' for those that didn't to service time).
As for rides, the cotter loop is a top little run out past the southern side of town, past Tidbinbilla (prob. didn't spen that right). And then there is always the run to Batemans Bay over the Clyde mountain. That's good fun too.
I have not always been a huge advocate for the place (I did move to Mexico of my own free will), but it does have it's charms. Oh, did I mention porn and titty bars?
As for you Mr Myeyesightisfailling, come for a ride before you need a walking frame. And try to convince that other geriatric to make a weekend of it. We could go via the Snowys on the Friday and then back on the Sunday
I do agree that the federal pollies don't really care about the rally, but it will make the news and I think that it is a positive display of numbers. Cheers,
Holge
