He was talking about bike gearboxes Pat...not a good idea to do it in synchromesh car gearboxes. You can get away with it but it will wear the dog teeth on your synchros faster.

You can get a "quickshift" for motorbikes that cuts your ignition momentarily as opposed to you rolling off the throttle during a gear change, it's suppose to make clutchless upshifting much smoother. Personally I just use the clutch..it's still fast as hell and you're talking tenths of a second in difference between clutch and no clutch. The slowest part of changing gears in a car is the gearshift itself, which is negated by how quickly you can change gears using a foot lever on a bike...as long as your hands are quick you can be fast with the clutch.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

The GPX was the only 250cc bike to complete some notoriously hard 10,000km rally that most bikes can't finish without breaking down, if I recall correctly. Can't find the info on it but I think it finished 9th overall, out of like 100 bikes.

i made that mistake too...

but i'm going for an old ninja... when i find the cash..

eh tj, how reliable are they?

So far so good, old issue I had recently was a fried spark plug and a small issue with the carb, but that's becuse i put 98 fuel to clean out the system so drained that all out, kinda jammed the jets in the carb. Other than that I ride this thing hard as!

If you kinda on the heavy side, the rear is a little soft or my shocks are gone, next thing I have to look at, bikes done 18,000 think their due anyway

All depends, if things have been replaced and the majority of the bikes engine is under 10, why not, I got mine at 14000 for $2800 the dude even rode it from Geelong to drop it off :)

probably start shopping for a bike next week

Anything in particular to watch out for? Or just the same as inspecting a car?

Try and take someone with you who knows bikes, they are a different breed. Some guy put up a good guide in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/391934-bike-inspection-tonight/

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
