Those on bikes
(Preview)
In my travels around oz I have come across many travellers who are riding the highways on a bike, often packed to the hilt. Most seem to be from over seas on holidays.

Hi one and all. I'm not a doctor, I'm not a sable nor am I as good looking as the guy in my avatar. Saying that, I thought it might be a good thing to do a small intro before posting.

Hino AC140 bus
(Preview)
G'day All, After a recent rush of blood to the brain, I now find myself the proud owner of a Hino AC140 bus. What I could really use at this point is a workshop manual in any format and even more urgently; the location of the fuse box. Any clues ? Thanks in advance.
