A friend sent me the following when I asked a similar question.

"31.5L fuel, 238 kg. dry, and under AUD $21,000 is my guess"

Whether this has any basis, I wait to see.

My understanding from emails received yesterday, is that any road that is closed to all vehicles or requires the fitting of chains during the snow season will be closed to motorcyclists.
Whilst the Great Alpine Road may be open to vehicles with chains, motorcycles will be turned back.

The information came as a press release from Vic Police, via the President of the MRAA. And I have seen the original media release, and what I posted is verbatim.

I believe ARRMG is Australian Road Rules Management Group(could be wrong though), and at least the way it reads, is that for the moment the rule will not be presented with the current raft of amendments.
The proposal will now go back to the development stage and be discussed with consultation ...

Anyone who has met me, and there are a few here who will verify it, my nickname is very befitting.
I got the roundman part over 20 years ago, when I was less of the man I am now. So maybe I should have updated it to "rounderman" by now.
And the 58 is the year I was forced upon this earth.
