Warracknabeal - who makes up these names????

Post by cowasaki »

Found another "Bruce" aka GPZ500 but its in bloody Mexico - Vic (Warracknabeal, Victoria, Australia)

May have to get it checked out by someone..and shipped accross - just dont tell the hubby argue.gif .

Is there anyone that is near this foreign place? the name alone is scaring me :lol: who may be able to check a bike out. Or is there a bike check out service in Victoria?

Cheers

It's about half an hour from Horsham, miles away from anywhere useful.

I'm guessing two hours from Bendigo (a bit over two and a half from me) or about four from Melbourne. I'm not sure if we have any members from out that way...

Having come from that area myself. Bendigo people are a long long long way away from there.

You'd be better getting someone from around Horsham, Dimboola area to look at it.

Good luck with it all.

Cheers

I think Funky is from either Hamilton or Horsham, one of them. Maybe throw him a PM and see if he's out that way anytime soon.

According Wikipedia the town's name is believed to derive from an aboriginal expression meaning "place of big gums shading the water hole".
