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!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
