I refuse to believe Ian ,that you where young and naive, next thing you will tell us you rode a B.S.A. to work. Thanks for the offer re book, but will try online when we get back to Encounter Bay.

Yass , was Tote living there all those years ago? And has the truckies lot improved much, I know the trucks and trailers have, but are you fellows still getting clobbered .

And yes Ian ,Ted was indeed a working man’s legend.

Nope, I was living around Orange at that time. I did drive a rental furniture truck through a blockade in 1988 at Yass but that blockade was not organised by the same people as Razorback. A bit of info here H.R. Nicholls Society: No Ticket, No Start---No More!: Australia's Transport Industries and the Unions and here 13 Jul 1988 - Hume Highway a shambles as truck blockade continues at Yass - Trove

40 years ago I was not old enough to hold a truck licence [smilebigeye]

That H R Nicholls report is interesting Tote

Found this old gem a few weeks ago. YouTube

Well that just speared me off for 15 minutes of looking at 8v92 Kenworth SAR videos [biggrin]

Regards,
Tote

Well that brings back a few memories, some good, bad, fast and one one particularly funny.

Haven't you got some tiles to lay? :bat:

Thanks, i stopped at Tarcutta before Easter and tried to get the brain cells realigned, thanks for the reminder. And if i recall correctly a rig is buried at the top of the cutting, the exhaust are sticking out. Or am i getting my road blocks mixed up
