Hey they both were on stands so they only needed a clean:D But my son was called Hayabusa so I think I made up for it:)

[Deano]

dad sent me pics of there rental in natimuk just about flooded. it is on about 3ft stumps and got to within 1 foot in water height to going in the house. the whole block is under water and the shed right out the back has bout 2 inches of water in it. the house is right opposite the creek. the house to one side has water in it cause it is one ground level the other was saved with sandbags.

water went down alot this arvo they can know see the front yard. if they get the 200mm they forcasting it is not looking good.

i would put the pics up but i am 2 lazy to get a photobucket account.

[BANDITROD]

fuck thats not good deano its been raining most of the night but nothing to heavy just yet

[Fight_fan]

Best of luck guys n gals! Hope u all keep safe...

[oldskool]

Except for Rod, I hope you get wet Cunt!

[fimpBIKES]

hmm, i bet he hopes he score some wet cunt too LOL

seriously though, hope it isnt too flooded for ya mate

[Booster]

Hope it doesn't get any worse for you Rod and others in your area ,
Bit wet here but more the air than on the ground so far , crops are fucked anyway and going under water couldn't do any more damage ....hoping for a huge hail storm

[scotty]

hope alls well folks
Locust greg? was up your way when they came in, fookin mad

[Booster]

Just rain damage , hoppers must have known this was coming and moved further south
as bad as i think it is here its nothing compared to what a lot of others are going through
I see Tassy has its share now too

[Redmohawk]

Just walked out and checked the rain gauge (I'm about 50k's south of booster) and it was overflowing with 110mm in it from monday morning. Not heaps here but constant wet and humid.

You guys need anything just holler, heaps of room for a family of 6 or more if needed here.

[BANDITROD]

well we just had another downpour ...and now they have let the river go ....i dont know what to do anymore its just fucked

[latheboy]

Take the front wheels of the bike and get a floaty for it....

[BANDITROD]

well all the water at my joint has finally gone yippee

[latheboy]

Shithot Rod....

I wonder oh Kev is going, Halls gap is flooded too!!! A bloke at work has had his mum evacted as Halls gap is cut off....

[VFighteR]

I just heard from Kev - he says they are ok for now, but its still early

[rock hard]

Thanks mate the brooms and mops are down to stumps now. Now they are says that a cyclone mite hit Aus Day, God I hope not:(

[Mishdog20]

Well guys and girls, weve had some fun here today. Woke up to a 200 metre wide river at our front gate, and a car flooded up to the windscreen with a woman needin rescuin. Pretty amazing. Couldve started a business draggin out all the idiots that tryed to tackle the flood water and were getting stuck. The entire town of ararat was cut off today on all six access roads into the town. It just got pretty real for us today. Is the river still risin up your way rod?

[rod185651]

Hope none of you guys copped too much damage, thinking of everyone dealing with these floods both North and South of us.

[KATO ZX7]

Im glad to hear you guys all survived ok and the families are all safe, i was worried, this weather system is crazy

[wackyrider]

Shit, Just hearing aboutall this as I'm heading back into the country. Haven't been following the news since I've been away. Anyone needs a hand with anything, let me know and I'll see what I can do

[kevkatana]

Just got off the phone to Rod. Shit is hitting the fan up his way. He's been sandbaging in Dimmy and Horsham for the last couple of days and the water is not far from Randals place in Horsham. Predictions of 1 meter plus over the highway to Dimboola.

[Redmohawk]

Fuck not good , is Ok here unless we get another downpore (Rochester copped it bad though) is almost at the same level as last big one prob 400mm below last time but really moving fast, on the positive it will go down fast here.

Not good for down stream though, wont be pritty for Echuca.

[Freddy Kruger]

wasnt too bad here with the rain. the front yard flooded up to where we knocked bricks out of the fence so it wouldnt get any higher. the next day tho when the water from north started flowing down river is when the shit hit the fan. 2 of the local ovals were under water by about 4 foot or so, a pub became a swimming pool and the carpet place needs to be aired out for a few weeks. the town was pretty much cut in two pretty much except for those with 4wds, like me :)and guess who was on the wrong side of town when the water started rising haha its alright tho, not often the bottom of the ute gets a clean.

[Yamie]

It looks like the hole east coast is getting f over hope you guys are all right[:0]

[mean-Maori-mean]

How's Dimboolah Rod? Is the wimmera hgh or what, hope you got plenty of sandbagging done pal, lost a couple of cause ways & the old rail bridge in Happy Valley, Vic. Does not compare to what will happen to Dimboolah or Horsham if the Wimmera bursts mate.
Hang in there,More showers this afternoon maybe.

[Booster]

Anyone have word on how things are going for Rod and others in the path of the flood ?
Hearing lots of reports on ABC radio and just how big an area is affected, comments about a 14 km wide floodplain .

[Fight_fan]

i heard Horsham has been divided in half n dimboola's not lookin good! Hope u guys are ok!

[BANDITROD]

Should see you through the next week I reckon

[skoerbin]

good luck rod (and others in same situation)! hope you got all of your belongings to higher ground or even better hope the water doesnt rise as high as expected

[BANDITROD]

Not very fast Jules they reckon it will take a few days to piss off good and proper

[BANDITROD]

Large when are my doritos due to get here

[80s freak]

How about AFR at your place Rod as a fund raiser for the town?

[jakam04]

Sensational news mate. Glad I wasnt the last ASF'er to enjoy the beauty of Dimboola Caravan Park lol.... Mind you, the mozzies will be around for a while more with all that water.

Jarrod

[rock hard]

Hey Banditrod,glad to see you and your family are all ok..i keep telling you to come to the west it has been typical "australia land of droughts and flooding rains"you guys getting the hudge downpours and us getting baked with days of mid to high 30s..take care mate and same goes to the other ASF menbers in the same boat.no pun intended

[Redmohawk]

Not a bad idea 80's , a AFR11 to help out a town ?

[scotty]

That towns already fucked. Rod lives there

[BANDITROD]

The town is still getting over my 30th but as far as fundraisers go it would be better off giving the cash to people in charlton or kerang or the northerners they need it more than we do

[Redmohawk]

Doesn't need to be "in" a town to help it. If AFR was to be held at the Heathcote park dragway maybe the owner would be interested in banging something together with us for a fundraiser for Flood assistance like Red cross donation or something ? Might put "US Mad Bikers" in a positive light for once to.

[Iceman]

Red, it is not going to be at Heathcoate. Unless the owner is your uncle or something and you can pull a massive favor, we just can't do it.

[BANDITROD]

By the way Clint your lid is almost done

[KATO ZX7]

Glad you and yours are ok Rod,

Pab13, Mick, how'd you go?

You boys have all the fun out there in rural Vic ....

[Redmohawk]

Ice has someone already talked with him ? Booster for instance knows Him a little I think.

[BANDITROD]

It's all been done mate it's defiantly a no go livewire and booster both tried from memory

[Redmohawk]

Bugger

[80s freak]

How's the clean up goping Rod?
Have heard a rummer that there is a drag strip up that way somewhere? Maybe that's an option. Basically I'd just like to see us as a group put some money directly into helping get somewhere back on its feet. Oh yeah, I want to get really pissed too.

[BANDITROD]

Yeah clean up is still going on for some I went and had a look at the wier today and it is totally fucked I can't believe how much shit has built up against it and the water washed out around both sides of it and yeah we have warracknabeal but I have been burned by those fuckers already we could try again but the commitie is really hard to get along with
