WHERE’STHEBEAR

Hi Bear,

7KLV LV 6DQGÀUH 5RDGKRXVHURXJKO\

halfway between Port Hedland and

Broome in WA. I’ve topped up here

with petrol and the odd ice cream

plenty of times, having lived in Broome

in the ‘90s (I live in the Eastern States

now - as us West Aussies call the rest of

the country). From memory, a cyclone

levelled the majority of the roadhouse in

the early 2000s but it’s good to see, and

HAPPILY SCOOTERED

Remember the sound that the

old two-stroke scooters made on

the overrun? ‘Dock, dock, dock...’

That’s the only clue you’re getting

this time. Once again several of

you did well in placing the Bear

Congratulations, you do get

around! But let’s see what you can

do with this one, in a location that

I’d bet many of you see every day.

But has it registered in your mind?

HERE’S OUR WINNER!

Lock it up, Danno

You cannot be too careful with your

precious riding gear. What did you pay for

your jacket? What about your helmet? Too

much to just have them stolen from your

parked bike, that’s for sure. Not to

mention the inconvenience of getting back

home without a helmet!

GearLok is the answer. It has a 1.5 metre

long, braided galvanized

steel, plastic coated cable

and a 4 digit combination

lock, to lock your

helmet, jacket,

backpack or any other

accessory to your

bike. Once you have

know, it’s up and running these days.

Cheers, Daren

I presume it’s not generally referred to

as that and I forgave everyone who just

ZURWH¶6DQGÀUH· ÀQLVKHGXVLQJLWVLPSO\UROOXSDQG^

insert into the neoprene bag provided

with the lock.

The cable is long enough to wrap around 2

or 3 helmets, a jacket and a bag, and it

costs $38.95. But you can get the set for

nothing if you can work out where The

Bear is in this photo. And if you miss out,

you can buy a set from Rocky Creek

Designs - http://www.rockycreekdesigns.com.au.

And where oh where could that

confounded Bear be this month? The

answer is easier for residents of one

of Australia’s largest cities, but visitors

might well get it too. And if your

memory is good for stories in these

pages that will help, too. I’m

looking forward to the answers.
