Carrying a rifle on a motorbike.

[zhuk]

Having that much fun in Australia isn't as easy as it used to be.

You used to be able to hop on a bus with a rifle bag over your shoulder.

Imagine trying that today

Done that quite a few times, on bus and train. Even got stopped by my local police at the end of my street ( inner city Sydney) when I was bringing a rifle back from Safari. Asked to see it, showed them licence & transfer papers, they had no problem with my public carriage at all. Hard rectangular case with Gibson sticker on it helps lol

I have asked our local cop about this so as we could carry rifles on the road on an ag bike the answer was ( If its carried in a soft case the case has to be locked or
fixed to the bike rifle has to have bolt out and kept in a seperate compartment to the rifle and a trigger lock fitted to the rifle
A hard case should be lockable and fitted or locked to the bike bolt removed from rifle and kept in seperate compartment and trigger lock fitted as well
both cases should be made as inconspicuos as possible to what it is carrying ) he said this is what they look for but i suppose other states have their own laws and
requirements

Back in another lifetime, I rode a bike and carried a Owen Machine Carbine (OMC), 9mm and nobody bothered me....Strange eh?

An old timer at my gun club was telling me how when he was a cadet in the 1950s/60s, he was selected by his unit to take part in an inter-unit Bren gun stripping contest. He was given a working Bren Gun and told to take it home with him over the weekend for practice. So he slung it over his shoulder and rode home on his bicycle.
