Reminds me of the new outdoor drinking laws where a guy was drinking outside a licenced premises in Rundle Street.

He was sitting down and drinking a beer but when he stood up, a cop passing by booked him because he was still holding the glass.

Cop told him the glass must remain on the table when you're not seated...........well how do you get the glass of beer out there in the first place then???? :(

hahahahaha thats a good one lol ;)

haha love the pub story SLED.. couldnt keep the laughs in

You'll like this one then ...

Couple of years ago, I was riding my bike heading south down South Road at O'Halloran Hill. It was a stinking hot day, but I was wearing full gear except for gloves, to get air flow into my jacket (At near 40 degrees, I'd have a higher risk of dehydrating than crashing). Approaching the lights at the Blacks Road intersection I was slowing down for the lights and took my hands off the handle bars to wipe the sweat off my hands and onto my jeans. Stopped at the lights and noticed a marked cop car behind me. Lights go green and as soon as I've taken off and clutch is completley out I get lit up and asked to pull over.

Cop wanted to book me for "stunting" on a motorbike. I was like "what?" with gobsmacked disbelief. He informed me I was stunt riding and had no control over the bike in an emergency. I pointed out to him:

a. That certainly wasn't stunt riding.

b. There were no cars within 50m of me.

c. I was decelerating, not accelerating, to a red light.

d. The throttle was not required.

e. My right foot was doing the braking for me, plus I had geared down to slow down.

f. I can easily manoeuvre the bike without the use of the handle bars, especially for a relatively straight section of road.

g. If a driver has his hands off the wheel, is that stunt driving?

I requested his Senior Sargeant be called in, as at that point the guy was being difficult and I refused to speak with him further. SS came over and after speaking with me briefly and checking my licence, asked the uniform cop "Did he wheelie?", "No". "Did he do a burnout?", "No". "Was he speeding?", "No". "Was he weaving from lane to lane?", "No". "Was he sitting anywhere on the bike other than the riders seat?", "No". "Is he under the influence?", "No". Turns to me and says I can go. :P

Who says, "a few pairs of people coming out of a church or park > having photographs taken with geriatrics > throwing confetti or rice > jumping into 3-4 cars with white ribbons are actually part of a wedding?"

Where's the proof?

The only type of wedding car that is actually labelled as such, is this...

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
