Me too!!!!!

I'm not his biggest fan but if it's on free to air than I will watch......the goon in the dual doesn't impress me in the shorts

I Hope he ditches that overused silly "handbrake" line.

It sounded like he had a little shot at his previous employer in the short video clip I saw about not bashing through the bush, but taking their time.....?

Does anyone know why he left? I saw a clip or read that he wanted to just retire and concentrate on the 'dont lock up AUSTRALIA' campaign. But it appears he was having a dig at 4x4 Action.
I noticed that a few years ago it just became a large catalogue of cheap stuff they where trying to sell rather than a magazine.
Interesting!

Nino.

20+ years ago i was a fan when Mr Rooth wrote for live to ride and streetbike magazines[and was high up in the rebels], then after the big fall out with federal publishing he had his own magazine "Australian Outlaw", Mr Rooth rode American and European bikes and was very very anti any thing japanese[bikes and people], his magazine was a good read/very entertaining but didnt last[i still have all issues].
He lost me when he was reinvented as Mr Toyota, which proves he will sell out his beliefs for the dollar
Just my opinion
