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!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
