good deal who with?

Rider bros at calder park

I emailed them about the 2 day course but she told me that they believe it's a waste for 90% of people that they get their...So booked the one day course on my RDO, works perfectly.

The other joint I was planning to do it at the weekend just gone (they cancelled the course due to lack of numbers) would only let me do the 2 day course (because I enquired about that initially, they knew I was a beginner so wouldn't let me do the 1 day course)

Rider bros said that they find the 1 day is fine as the extra time out on the bikes is far more beneficial than sitting in a classroom...makes sense to me

Michael,

To be completely honest with you we find the two day courses are unnecessary

for at least 90% of our students, regardless of whether or not you have any

prior experience on a Motorcycle or Scooter. For the reason that we find our

student’s two wheel awareness will be increased much sooner by spending as

much time as possible out on the bikes/scooters, rather than in the

classroom.

The one day Learner Permit course is designed for people who have minimal to

absolutely no previous riding experience. This course can be completed on

either a Motorcycle or a Scooter between Mondays and Thursdays with a start

time of 9.00am.

Motorcycle or Scooter, the course remains the same for everyone as it is the

same Learner permit. You are required to successfully complete two tests on

the day, one skills test the other a written test consisting of 32 multiple

choice questions. This can be completed verbally. For the written test it is

essential you grab a copy of the VIC rider handbook and have a read through

it prior to your course date. You will find this book at your local

newsagency, VIC roads office or via the VIC roads website.

To complete this course on a Motorcycle the cost is $270.

To complete this course on a Scooter the cost is $240.00.

Costs include ALL VIC roads fees, issue up fees etc.

A Motorcycle/Scooter, Helmet, Jacket and Gloves will all be provided for you

on the day. You are required to wear full length pants and sturdy shoes.

Thongs, sandals, heels, shorts, ¾ pants etc will prevent you from completing

the course with us on the day.

With all our courses you are offered a free re-test if necessary. As part of

our trainer guarantee we also give you the opportunity to return on a week

day for some extra training (again at no cost.)

Do you hold a current Victorian driver licence?

At the moment you need to book about a week in advance.

Cheers,

Sarah Rider.

Rimon just make sure when you do go on the road you start off riding around some normal 50k streets / carparks until you get comfortable.

Even though I had ridden dirt bikes before, when I picked up my road bike from peter stevens in ringwood i hopped straight on eastlink after riding 50meters.. was a bit scary seeing trucks right up close flying @ 100k's for my first road ride haha

Birds - do you build many ZF 6 speeds? worth getting stronger input shaft when pushing ~400rwkw?

And try not to do your first ever hill start on a busy (wellington) road on your first ride after picking up your bike :/ wheely stalling fun to be had

Hey guys looking at buying a new alarm.

After something pretty decent because of a couple of fairly decent attacks on my car recently (attempted break in, smashed front windscreen, mirrors broken off) and was wondering what people recommend. Tossing up between a cyclops with microwave, tilt and shock sensors or a mongoose Rav3. Any other recommendations? Or thoughts?

Cheers guys.

Something with blackwire and to Australian standards. I have a Viper in my car it seems to do the job. Has glass break sensors, wheel sensors, 3pt imobiliser

Might sound stupid but I thought that viper alarms weren't ADR complianced?

Correct me if I'm wrong because that's the reason I hadn't bothered to look at Viper

All good, hows the r1?

Still scaring the bejebus out of me, but I do push the throttle and RPM a little bit harder with each ride. Thinking of putting a sprocket set on it, as redlining at ~165km/h in 1st gear is not very practical. By the time you're in the engine's happy range (~6000rpm+) you're usually at the speed limit. At that rate I'm not going to last on my option notice. What does 1st take you to on the GSX?

lol, use the footbrake for hillstarts!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
