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!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
