As for the pubs... let me put it this way: every joke you've heard about Australians loving their alcohol is based on fact. 93%+ of all (legal age) Australians drink some form of booze more than three times a week. Just about any reason to celebrate = alcohol, and lots of it.

Heh, at least you HAVE some place to ride. I have an hour and a half drive to the track and a $20 dollar fee any time I want to go riding.
As for crashes I had one really weird one on my friends Blaster. I was riding in his lawn and he yelled something at me so I turned around and looked at him, next thing I know I hit this slanted wall-thing at the edge of his lawn and the ATV goes straight up in the air, I fall off and I'm looking straight up at the four wheeler, it goes OVER me and lands behind me. It landed on its side and bent the handlebar to almost a 90 degree angle. I hurt my knee when I landed but otherwise I was totaly fine. it was weird though, i remeber watching the ATV like it was slow motion, even though the whole crash was prolly over in a few seconds. Turns out what he said was "look out" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.
I've only crashed on my dirtbike once, and even then it was a really stupid crash. My sister had a couple of girls over, and I admit, I was showing off <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Well, I fell off a snowmobile once... a friend was driving, I was in back. He leaned the wrong way, upsetting the machine. I leaned the right way, but ended up falling off. I slid towards a tree stump, but fortunately stopped before I hit it with my face.
Wait... what was the question again?! <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> "Never drive up a small hill that you just-can't-see-over and which your friend will tell you not to cross, at the moment you'll fall down and crash, then a cop will come knocking on your door."

Just find your local laws that define an automobile and it should be quite easy to make your guad into one, add flasher/turn signals, tags and thats about it.
Or you could just wait till no1 is looking and cross <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Please ignore the girlish voice of my Camera-man. He's saying, "Give me peace, man!"
And yes. It is a He.
P.S. I'm the d00d on the Quad.
