I'm with Mansoor

I'm too much of a nutbag to be trusted with the modern generation of hyperbikes

But I reckon I'll have to get a licence soon....and then kiss it goodbye the day I get the first decent bike :)

That's insane. I didn't realise that stuff happened!

It sure does. It's happened 3 other times where I wasn't 100% sure it was deliberate (50+ where it definitely wasn't deliberate) but on that occasion there was no doubt whatsoever. Full eye contact for about 7 or 8 seconds as I approached.

Also people often deliberately go really close to the car beside them as they see you lane splitting towards them. They can be stopped in traffic but see you so they creep forwards two metres and across one metre to block your way. They are all just jealous it seems.

For all of those though, there are heaps that will do the opposite to make room for you to pass. I always wave thanks.

haha thanks mate ill take that as a compliment, ive had a dirt bike for years so i know how to ride pretty well, and everyone ive spoken to says road bikes are eaiser to ride than dirt bikes (minus the cars)... but i go to work at non peak times, either early morning, or middle of the day.. so i kinda never have to face the road ragers stuck in traffic....

ill feel much better after purchasing all my gear, even myself didnt realise there was so much protection built into leathers and kevlar stitched pants! who woulda thought.......

I'll definately have a different attitude to riding on the road from driving... no big cage around me to protect from morons :)

That being said, up for a SAU bike meetup in a few weeks :(

Peak hour drivers are mostly used to bikes splitting around them and deal with it better than non peak hour people.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
