I lived and worked up there for 3 years (94-97) at Cygnet Bay Pearls which is about 20mins away on the King Sound side of the peninsular. Back then it was a 3 hour trip from Broome on a good day if in the dry season with a freshly graded road, the longest i did was 8 hours near the end of the wet, no bitumen then lol...used to head over to Leveque on most weekends, beautiful spot. ![]()

Yep same here,the 650SS leaning up against shed was built in the lounge after the old girl decided enough was enough and departed years earlier,myself and the old fella didnt get on in later years but have to say the time spent with him mucking about with that bike was pretty special times for a young fella,fwiw after the Commando was sold he had a couple of Bevel drive Ducatis the first a silver/Blue 900 is imho the most beautiful motorcycle ever built not to mention the sound outta Contis.

Wouldn't mind one of those mid 70s Toyota Dyna's. Sort of goofy looking but in a nice way.
