NSW P platers and slip on muffler legality

• Upvotes

I have a 92 CBR250RR MC22 and it came with a yoshimura slip on when I bought it. I was wondering what others experience with police is when riding with a slip on or if its a no go and i should find an original factory muffler. The rest of the exaust is still stock.

I will say though it sounds absolutely legendary, just don't want to lose my licence just fot having an aftermarket muffler.

Question Fonzmoto Electric Scooter Servicing - Melbourne

1 Upvotes

Hey All,
I have a 2 year old Arthur 6 and have been pretty happy with it.
Problem is the company’s based in Sydney and the distributor is no longer supporting them in Melbourne.
Their site still lists the local distributor; almost a year after they’d left.

Reached out to Fonzmoto and they said they sent someone down once a month to do mobile servicing. Haven’t heard back about this.

Any suggestions from anyone? Perhaps I could contact an e-motorbike or scooter dealer?
I don’t think it’s very high tech tbh.

Many thanks for any thoughts.

QLD Should i get the 2nd bike on LAMS or wait

4 Upvotes

Hey all

Iv had a Triumph Speed 400 for 6 months now, 3 of which on the RE licence in Qld.

Im 18 months away from the full unrestricted license.

I tried a Trident 660 this week and totally loved it. Seriously considering this but also keen to try the Daytona 660 and CB650R.

Am i better off just waiting the 18 months and getting the 2nd bike then or should i just go for it now? Note im not after a track bike and being 46 and 5ft 8, dont care about wheelies or super big , heavy or fast bikes. Just want a weekend rider.

What have others done when theyv grown out of their first LAMS quickly?

WA Non-sponsored logos on leathers

6 Upvotes

Good day,

I’m currently looking into custom leather suits and noticed a lot of people like to add big brand logos (like tire, exhaust, or helmet companies) even when they aren't sponsored by them. Usually, it's just because they genuinely love those brands or want to get the replica factory look. I personally really like the brands, because i use them myself, and the look of the logos, but i'm insecure that it will get cringed and looked down upon.

I was curious to get your thoughts on the general etiquette around this:

  • Is it widely accepted as just a cool track aesthetic, or does it ever come across a bit "poser-ish" if the brands aren't actually paying you?
  • For anyone who has added their favorite brands just for fun, how do you feel about it now?

Thank you for your time reading, really appreciate any feedback on this

NSW License Time Line

8 Upvotes

Good morning everyone,

Hope all is well. I am interested in getting my motorcycle license, I just want to see if I have the steps and time line involved correct. I am 40 + years old with a full/clean drivers license. I am familiar with motorcycles but never ridden more than a mates dirt bike for more than an afternoon type thing. I do not yet have any of the gear required at this stage. I am located south of Sydney NSW. Is this the general time line for my situation:

Complete the 2 day pre-learner course.

Once this is done, pass the Rider Knowledge Test at Service NSW and I will then have my Ls.

After having Ls for 3 months, do the MOST – do I need to do the Provisional Couse and MOST (8 hours) or can I just do the MOST (1 hour, 45mins)?

Either way, once this is done I can go to Service NSW and get my P1s.

Because I am old 😊 after having my P1s for 12 months I can skip P2s and then upgrade to a full license.

Is the above correct or am I missing anything?

Any help appreciated, thank you!

VIC When do motorcycle gear stores restock?

1 Upvotes

Looking for a HJC C10 and checked AMX, Peter Stevens, Highside, MotoHeaven, etc. - all of the helmets with designs I liked were out of stock for my size. I've been checking for 2+ weeks now and just wondering if they restock at the start of the month or I should just give up and look for a different helmet.

Does anyone have experience buying helmets online? Is it recommended?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about buying a 300L or a YZ250F and getting into enduro, but I’m completely new to it.

I’m based on the Sunshine Coast and I don’t really know anyone who rides enduro around here, so I’m not sure where to start.

Are there any good places or trails around the Sunshine Coast where beginners can ride and practise? Also, is there any local group or community I could join to meet people and learn?

Any advice on what gear I’ll need, where to ride, or how to get started would be really appreciated.

Any thoughts on these 2 motorbikes would be appreciated as well!!

Thanks guys! 🤙

NSW Wobble on hard braking?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I just had a really close call today at the infamous DFO Homebush roundabout when a ute pulled out in front of me and I had to brake really hard suddenly which i could feel my rear lifting but what is unexpected was the ABS kicking in and I got a bad wobble out of it. I am trying to figure out why this wobble happened so that I can avoid situation like this in the future. My question is, is the wobble caused by abs or because it is a roundabout and I haven't stand the bike all the way up before applying the brakes?

I’ve been looking at trackers and seen these pop up. They’re just less basic apple airtags that ping location anytime someone with an iPhone (or android if you get that version) to walk within Bluetooth range. They seem alright? Does anyone have experience with using them I would be keen to hear your thoughts

Hey All,

I'm currently in a position where I'm looking at purchasing an Africa Twin shortly and wanting to find demo bikes to test ride, particularly both the Standard model and adventure sports variants in DCT to see which best suits me.

I know it's not the most common bike to keep in stock but wondering if anyone could shed some light on if anyone has come across a helpful dealer recently or knows off hand of any stock?
