Thanks for your comments my friend. No its not Whitemans park its a gun range located about 15 minutes from Joondalup Wannaroo. Let's hope NSW doesn't decide to copy the crazy gun laws here in W.A. 🤔

Now that's a great question 👍 I wish I could tell you but sadly it's just the sound of crickets. Thanks for your comments 👍🙂

@@vanceyboy1959 That's the SSAA all over. Useless

Hi Glen. Thanks for your comments. Yes I signed the petition and encouraged others to do the same. I put a little bit more info update on my latest post, here is the link.th-cam.com/video/4OhpvUa4E5A/w-d-xo.html Take care.

Hi Brian Thanks for your comments and understanding about gun owners been constantly under attack by politicians. Enjoy your guns my friend 👍🙂

Here in Western Australia we can even purchase realistic looking and functioning blank firing guns that eject the shells after firing. It's illegal though to own airsoft or bb guns, try and figure that one out. Thanks for your comments and the information you provided. I found it very interesting.👍

Thanks Tony, I appreciate your comment 🙂👍

New Zealand is where I grew up and learned all my hunting skills from my father. The good old days where you could own semi auto rifles and shotguns. over here in W.A you have to have a special license and reason. You also have to have a gun license to even own a bb gun or an air rifle. I'm heading to NZ in November and look forward to doing a little hunting. Take care my friend and thanks for your comment. 🙂👍

They are a beautifully designed rifle and have a very interesting history. For me it is the memories growing up hunting with my father and using his 303 rifle. Every time I look at the 303 it brings back those wonderful memories for me. My dad is 94 and we always talk about those times together, he said if he could he would still be out hunting with me 🙂 Thank you for your comment my friend 👍

@@vanceyboy1959 We turned back the 1 thread depth, rechambered and cut the bolt face appropriately. This gave them a good tight chamber. Originally they were chambered loose for combat reliability, but this resulted in excess rates of case head separation. Then a little hand lapping of the bore, accurate recrowning and they are usually capable of 2 MOA accuracy. More accurate than nearly all shooters.

Never met a gun I didn't like, I love that. That sort of made my day and thanks for your comment my friend. 😊👍 Have a great day.

I hope he's a nice dad and will share the joy of riding that bike with you. Thanks for your comments 😉👍

I agree with your comments that Australia and Canada are the testing grounds. Unfortunately unlike the USA Australia does not have an Amendment written into it's constitution to protect the people owning firearms. After world war 2 the Australian government were more than happy to let returning soldiers keep their 303 rifle as Japan had almost taken Australia. Oh how quickly we forget. With a population of just 30 million people we have 3 million registered guns. I would say around 3% of the population own guns as each gun owner would own multiple firearms.Indonesia's population next to us has over 300 million people. We wouldn't stand a chance if we were invaded. Semi auto guns are banned so it would be like fighting a war with muskets. Hey thanks Wisenber for your comments. Have a great day my friend. 😊👍

@@vanceyboy1959 In all fairness, the US has an Amendment in front of that one protecting free speech, religion and assembly. As you've no doubt noticed from the various platforms, those freedoms are being eroded as well with those erosions being selectively applied. Take away the ability to talk and gather, and no one hears about the rest. The freedoms we believe we have may prove to be no more than props like your 303.

Enjoy that awesome bike of yours my friend while out on your rides. Thanks for your comments. 😊👍

My nephew

Hi Kentucky. Sounds like an awesome set up you have there. Now with a name like Vance & Hines you cant go wrong, same exhaust that I have 👍 Thanks for your comments my friend and take care. ☺

Hi Hunter. Thanks for your comments. I have just recently received another text from police informing me that the new gun proposals are now law. The Western Australian Government have made it clear that they hate guns and gun owners. Now that this has happened here in Western Australia the rest of the Australian states will soon follow suit. It's a sad day for gun owners and the rights of the people. Once upon a time Australia was like the USA and we could own any type of gun we wanted. Then back in the 1980's one mentally ill idiot got hold of an AR 15 rifle and killed over 30 innocent people. That was enough to target gun owners and change Australia's gun laws. You are very lucky living in the USA and having the 2nd amendment to protect your gun rights. Take care my friend 👍 🙂

Nice one my friend! It's obvious your roadstar brings you the joy we all seek as motorbike riders. For a 99 model you still have very low miles which means you will have many more years of great riding ahead of you. Thanks for your comments and keep safe while out enjoying that wonderful bike of yours. 👍🙂

Nice one George 👍 I can see why you still have and love such a wonderful bike. Just a guess, It wouldn't be purple would it? 😄 A great song that was back in the day. Thanks for your comments and I wish you all the best and many more years of safe and happy riding.

Thanks for your comments and your kind greetings from Germany. What a beautiful country. Your a lucky man to have your Wildstar and I wish you all the best while your out and about riding that wonderful machine.As a previous GTR 1400 owner you would appreciate the power and quick smooth acceleration that the shaft drive offers from the GTR. When it comes to comfort, for me that's where the Roadstar excels and that's one of the reasons I love riding it. Take care my friend and all the best on those rides.👍😊

@@vanceyboy1959 Thank you for your kind reply. ... Also Australia is a wonderful country and I am a great friend of yours. I even own 3 didgeridoos, which I can still play a bit with my age of 66. 🥴. Yes, ... I really enjoyed the GTR1400, but after 10 years I wanted to ride something else. After all, you don't get any younger 🙂 ... If you like, you can watch the video in my link. There are many beautiful places to see in Germany. … … In the country with over 10,000 castles and palaces. ... 🙂 Keep tires down my friend and stay healthy! 👍 th-cam.com/video/ZbTn9G4bhOQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e1ZkJxitzo55Xw-R

Having a red bike helps to hide a lot of it 🤣👍

Thank you Kazi for your very kind words. I started my channel initially just for family and friends to keep them informed of what i am up to. Soon others started subscribing to my channel which really surprised me. It really pleases me though that others watching get some sort of enjoyment from my content. I try to keep my content reasonably short and interesting which can be a challenge at times. Thank you Kazi for your input and constructive comment's as they are much appreciated. All the best my friend. Take care 👍

Thanks for your comments Andy. I have put a pull back riser on my handle bars to help me sit up straighter on the bike. That did help but its still not enough to get me sitting up straight. I had the seat re padded but it still didn't lower my seating position. My next option is to buy a $1,000.00 seat specially designed to lower your center of gravity. The Kawasaki GTR is a sports tour and designed to give you the race bike feel with the power included plus some comfort that a touring bike offers. Honestly if I was buying a bike for comfort I would purchase a touring bike like the Honda Valkyrie that I had in my garage or a similar shaped bike. You want to get it right first time if you are purchasing a bike so go to a motorbike shop and sit on the different range of bikes they have to offer until you find the most comfortable one to suit your needs. Good luck and take care my friend.

Cheers. Thanks for taking the time to reply.@@vanceyboy1959

@@andyrude3019 Your very welcome Andy and thank you for watching and your comments.

Beautiful ride.

@@Energizerd3 I can only imagine how much joy your Roadstar is bringing you right now. That is one motorbike I would love to own myself but I'm just grateful I have great mates who let me ride theirs and share the joy. Thanks for your comments my friend and take care when out on your rides.👍😃

Hi Brian That's a lot of power you have there under your seat, you lucky fella! 😊 and so little mileage on it too. I guess like me you wait for those beautiful sunny days with no rain clouds to get the most out of your rides. If I can help it I avoid riding in any wet conditions at all. That's not hard to do here in Perth as we don't get much rain ( May be 3 months in a year). Stay safe my friend and thank you for your comments.👍 Have a great day

Thanks for your comment Doug. Take care my friend👍

Then increase the idle speed if you don't like the sound, but there's no need to have the engine rpms up when it's sitting there. It's called idle for a reason.

Michal thanks for your comment. I understand exactly what you are saying. It can be scary after many years not riding then jumping back onto a powerful bike. I grew up riding motor bikes but once I got married and had kids the motor bikes were just not a priority $$$, i had to sell them 😥 When I turned 60 my wife got soft and gave me the green light to purchase another bike 😄 I am 65 now and the last five years of riding have given me the same joy I got in my early years. It's so great to see another mature rider as yourself living the dream👍 take care out there my friend.

Thanks for your comment 🙂 Take care my friend.

Thanks for your comment my friend all the way over there in the UK . It sounds like a bargain, especially with those low miles on the clock 🙂 👍 If you purchase it I'm sure it' will bring you many hours of enjoyable riding. Take care BRRRRRR I bet it's freezing over there?

@@vanceyboy1959 ye, we dont get much hot weather here, not like you guys. Cheers Jeff

Hi Jeff. This summer here in Perth has been a scorcher 40 c plus. we are now entering our Autumn season which is perfect bike weather. Take care my friend and thanks for your comments 🙂👍

Hi Fella how things. You've now got me more depressed then I was before 🤣, as you guys have the best weather with all that sun, but here in Manchester it always seams dull and miserable or raining (just like it is now it's throwing it down). Never mind, we might & I say just might get a few hot sunny days in July / August all very sad when you think about it. Anyway ride safe Vancy, Cheer Jeff

Mate we need the rain and you need the sun. Maybe half way between us would be the perfect place to live 🤣 Cheers Jeff

Hey thanks for your comment. Your a lucky guy getting all those extras that come with the 2010 model. Those extras would definitely make some ones riding experience more enjoyable. Stay safe my friend while riding that awesome bike of yours. 😊👍

Hi Steve thanks for your comment 🙂 My mate Mark lives about 30 - 45 minutes north of Perth. Bundaberg! that's a long way from Brisbane where i used to live many years ago. I,m glad you enjoyed the post. Take care my friend👍

Your a lucky guy 😃 stay safe when riding that beautiful bike of yours 👍

Nice 🙂 Keep on enjoying your awesome bike and stay safe my friend 👍

100% on the Ivan flash. 13" Clearview windshield, driver's backrest, and longhorn foot pegs. Bought my '17 in 2020 with 3200 miles - 39000 now. Stock suspension is top notch too. Let the good times roll.

@@BackRoadzRider love your attitude my friend 👍

Yep! how can you not love that bike! Nice one mate, stay safe while your out enjoying life.

Thanks for your comment Jeff. I have a friend with a 1998 Honda Valkyrie dropping in soon so I cant wait to take that out for a ride 😃 Have a happy and safe Xmas👍

Hi Andrew I agree with you 100% Fortunately The shotgun was only $700 so even if it was sold untouched there would be little money to lose on it. If one owned an expensive rifle and intended to sell it later then like you said it would not be wise unless the butt or forstock could cheaply be replaced. In both myself and my friend Dave's case we have no intention selling them and will hand them on to our children as an heirloom. I appreciate your comment.🙂

I did bring my swag but how could this old fella turn down a room at the Hilton hotel 🤣

Hi Peter. The pool is 4x5 meters and the cost is difficult to calculate as my nephew is a pool builder and built our pool on the cheap. the liquid limestone was at cost and the labor to pour was free as they were friends of my nephew and wouldn't take any money. the materials for the pool was a little expensive at the time due to the pandemic shortages. Because my nephew had contacts as a pool builder we had a short wait compared to many others building pools at the time. we were very fortunate. We would have paid somewhere around 1/2 to 2/3rds of what a concrete pool was going for at the time. I hope this has helped. Have a great day.

We got the sheeting for about $300 and all the steel was $1200 . The pool is 5x4 metres

it was an awful rubbery sticky one - more expensive but better under water, just hard to wipe off

Sorry I cant remember the name of the grout but it came already made up and sort of rubbery. It was a tricky grout to apply and had to be cleaned off straight away. Our very hot weather at the time set it off quickly so we had to work fast. Take care and have a great day

Hi Chris I don't see why this method wouldn't work for any external magazine that provides stripper clips. I'm pleased that this may have been helpful. It was a lot of fun making it.Let me know how you go. good luck. 😊👍
