I think it was in Melbourne when the population was half of what it is today. Hence why they can ride without helmets, no 4WD idiots, yahoos, yobbos and skinheads - they came later. Bring back crackers.

@Dan40049 Lol your RIGHT absolutely right, I missed that one, was thinking how scary it would've been riding at 60kph+ on top the truck, lol. I watched it again, wow there's V dub beetles and even an old 20's or 30's vintage saloon car? Agh to go to a dealership now and pay $5k for a NEW GT!!, where's my time machine? Man these guys put their lives at risk making this clip, it's got some of the most blatant disregard for the road rules driving I've ever seen, Lol!

[Dan40049]

In spite of the chainguard on her bike I imagine there would have been problems with her dress getting caught in the chain lol

[Dan40049]

@PlanetaryMATE No just Sharpies, which were.... worse. And there were gangs back then too.

[Dan40049]

@OlBlueshound Also the brand new (Prob HG) holdens, & Torana, on the truck, prob being delivered to a dealership. & the two EH holdens at 30secs. Those cars in that condition are worth well over $10.000 today.

[Dan40049]

Notice the P Plater speed by at 1.01 some things don't change. Most of the cars in this vid would be collectors items now.

[SmileyGidget]

This is kinda disturbing... and OMG, i would've hated to have been one of those cars, unless back then it was legal to run people over... #JustSaying... is that the reason people hate bike riders nowadays... i understand! :P

@PlanetaryMATE And no do-gooder Greenies that have made removing a tree from your own backyard into a crime against humanity, punishable by a $10,000 fine by a self serving council who says no to everything unless you hand over some cash.

@creativeengineer also no arabs, Asians or Indians.
