What kind of bus is Billby?Bilby is a 1990 Toytoa Coaster LWB (Long Wheel Base) . He has a 1HZ engine and came with 24 seats when we bought him.

What kind of motorcycle is that?Little Bilby Jr is a Braaap Cafe Racer ST-250! He's styled off a Honda CB250 from the 70's and he's had a lot of extras put into him to make him unique. Hes only 110kg, so super easy to throw on the back of the bus. 250cc means hes not super fast but perfect for parking up and zipping off into town. We have surfboard racks that we had welded on the side so we can take a board with us. (Although beware there are certain legalities around this, believe me we know having been fined in Noosa) Everything on the bike is super customisable, from the seat to the handlebars, exhaust and mirrors and really easy to pull apart even if you don't know what you're doing. Check out the Braaap website here, they have a promo on at the moment and you can pick one up brand new for just over $2000!

Where did you get your roof racks from?Unfortunately there is no secret to this one. We got our Rhino Racks from a 4x4 shop in Melbourne who ordered them in for us, however from all reports they are no longer stocking them sorry to say!

Where did you get your motorbike rack made?Our motorcycle rack is a $200 dirt bke rack from eBay. Unfortunately the Haymen Reece towbar we had made for us by a friend who was a welder. It took a few goes at welding it on to get it strong enough to hold the bike without bouncing. I'm sure a lot of metal fab places could do it too. Beware to change your straps very very frequently! We had the poor little bike fall off the back a few years ago because the straps had sun damage and they snapped. Fortunately the bike was covered by insurance.

How did you make your ceiling like that?Haha we find this to be one of the weirdest questions we get asked. This is the original roofing that came with the bus made it 1990. We have painted it white to give it a little freshen up but there wasn't much more to it than that.
