don't think i could take a bike up to those sort of speeds but i've never ridden one so can't say i'd know how "in control/stable" it would feel at 160+ :unsure:

Go get your L's son, it's a fun thing to do even if you don't get a bike (though it will make you want one HARD). At first 80km/h seems faster on a bike than in a car, but then it swings around and 100km/h+ starts to feel slower on a bike lol.

Hah. So you're unsure about what it's like to even ride a bike yet you instruct me to own a Gixxer? lol. lol. And more lol.

Get a gixxer

been thinkin bout gettin my bike licence for ages....Always talk myself out of it...

Would make parking at trade school so much easier though....hmmmm

then I'd have to decide between gixxer/yamaha/ducati

Don't think I could bare to start on a 250 either...

The massive unit from PP? Lol imagine if ghostrun was there, that would be a good stoush

Nar the one from CQ, the one who walked up to the hottest girl in the club and basically said "this guy wants to have sex with you".

+1.

Owowwwww Arab issuessss

lol getting one is not an issue but really cbf for the lectures everytime i take it out

Mama spent most of my childhood telling me never to get one, then got a bike herself lol...couldn't really tell me not to get one then...

rebel she could be a bandito... watch your back :ph34r:

parking + traffic issues would be solved i'd assume. but still rather a roof over my head so it would be more of a "toy" kinda thing for a sunny day

no harm in getting the license though...

Found this amusing. Who's down under now, huh?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
