hmm you'll have to show me this road once i get my bike ;)

although i will be happy even reaching 100 with stability on a two fiddy :P

Mates duke 200 limited at 135 I think lol

For learners anyway so no f**ks given they should be learning low speed / traffic stuff anyway :)

Duke 390 would be mad learner bike. 44hp and 150kg wet

Learner sports bikes rip up the corners anyway and that's where half the thrill of riding bikes is. Through tight passages they can be quicker than 600s and superbikes, particularly in the hands of amateurs.

Phillip Island and a couple of other high speed tracks are the only tracks that reward the bigger bikes. Even at PI with a massive straight and sweeping corners, there's only about 3 seconds a lap between a professionally driven 1000 and a 600, then another 4-5 seconds for the 250s.

lol you gotta come out riding with my mate...he rides a neglected Ninja 250R, with a rear tyre that has no tread in it...he hangs off the thing in the corners like he's sitting in a side car and he absolutely kicks my ass.

^COT DAYUM indeed...

Only wheelies I see myself pulling are in Mario Kart...

Think I've got my "first choices" in gear sorted! Gonna go see how they all fit though at Peter Stevens tomorrow! ... Then order online bwahahaha.

edit: just got back from gym, sitting here with me proposed 4-day weekend (self-made). feelsgoodman.jpg

until i have to work and do assignments on the real weekend, anyway :P

You may end up ordering from Peter Stevens of you're buying a lot of stuff and some is on sale. My gear from there was only $100 more expensive all up than online, worth it given you can take it back there for faults and don't have to wait for shipping.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
