You may end up ordering from Peter Stevens of you're buying a lot of stuff and some is on sale. My gear from there was only $100 more expensive all up than online, worth it given you can take it back there for faults and don't have to wait for shipping.

You may be right brah, did a quick add-to-cart sesh, and works out a bit more than $100. I suppose if they can give me a discount for buying everything just from them, it could be worth it.... although that's $100 extra I have for bike/insurance/what have you... However no waiting around for shipping etc would be sweet as...

WILL STRONGLY CONSIDER.

I only bought pants and a jacket that was already on sale...he knocked $100 or so off the price for me. So don't be afraid to haggle in store, especially on clearance or sale stock that they wanna move out the door. And dont tell em you're looking at all the gear straight up, just say you're interested in a jacket or helmet or something...that way he feels he's upselling you and is more likely to shave dollars off to make you buy more shit. Peter Stevens Ringwood has some good guys who will do deals on stuff for you.

And remember, the gear should be snug. Not unbearably tight, but that shit should hug you. You don't wear safety gear loose like clothes; you don't want anything to move around while riding or if you come off. The leather will stretch in time as you wear it more and then you'll get more movement out of it. Try on absolutely everything too - Alpinestars had 5 or 6 different jackets that all looked similar in design and price...but 1 really stood out for me; felt more comfortable than the rest, so I'm glad I tried them all on. It wasn't the most expensive one either!

Love the rasp that throttle bodies give high up. And they make small engines sound so beastly down low. Listen to the idle of this C20XE (2 litre N/A) at around 50 seconds...

[KURAUN]

Yeah as I expected, sounds awesome

Will be missing yum cha as I told Alvin, clutch and gearbox going back in that day as it's the only day mechanic is free

and when he is doing free labour you take what you can

[Sunkist]

Yum cha isn't until next week anyway..

Went there today! Didn't see Pas until the very end, so didn't actually deal with him - guy named Luke helped me out. I didn't buy anything today, but he quoted me a pretty sweet price for everything with a nice ~$100 odd discount as well like you guys said ; so I think I will buy from them

Was going to go with 2012 helmet on clearance for $430... but then he could get 2013 new model for $450, lols... So...

So excited.

I might go for a ride after gym tonight, weather is nice - jelly?

[kaitoukid]

Yes

Well after gym tonight I'll go to sleep to get up nice and early so I can ride tomorrow, at least!

EDIT: Jacket size was a bit annoying though. Deciding between 50 & 52...

[emts]

[Birds]

What's your height and weight?

Better be snug. If I can fit my hand between you and your jacket...well then I'm gonna fit my hand between you and your jacket.

they're not bad from what I know (never actually ridden one), I like the ktm 990 dukes a bit more though pretty sure they're the same engine which is good
