No idea how long we have had them, but within the CBD, they are the only way to get help there fast!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-47226707557488916352011-07-19T08:21:55.520+10:002011-07-19T08:21:55.520+10:00Never seen such a motorcycle before.

Some drivers just don't pay any attention to sirens and flashing lights.<br />I love this motorcycle. There is no doubt that the rider is one of the good guys! And "ambo" is one of those wonderful Australianisms we seldom hear.<br />Luv, KKay L. Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966266404058177742noreply@blogger.com
