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.

You may be right brah, did a quick add-to-cart sesh, and works out a bit more than $100. I suppose if they can give me a discount for buying everything just from them, it could be worth it.... although that's $100 extra I have for bike/insurance/what have you... However no waiting around for shipping etc would be sweet as...

WILL STRONGLY CONSIDER.

I only bought pants and a jacket that was already on sale...he knocked $100 or so off the price for me. So don't be afraid to haggle in store, especially on clearance or sale stock that they wanna move out the door. And dont tell em you're looking at all the gear straight up, just say you're interested in a jacket or helmet or something...that way he feels he's upselling you and is more likely to shave dollars off to make you buy more shit. Peter Stevens Ringwood has some good guys who will do deals on stuff for you.

And remember, the gear should be snug. Not unbearably tight, but that shit should hug you. You don't wear safety gear loose like clothes; you don't want anything to move around while riding or if you come off. The leather will stretch in time as you wear it more and then you'll get more movement out of it. Try on absolutely everything too - Alpinestars had 5 or 6 different jackets that all looked similar in design and price...but 1 really stood out for me; felt more comfortable than the rest, so I'm glad I tried them all on. It wasn't the most expensive one either!

Love the rasp that throttle bodies give high up. And they make small engines sound so beastly down low. Listen to the idle of this C20XE (2 litre N/A) at around 50 seconds...

Yeah as I expected, sounds awesome

Will be missing yum cha as I told Alvin, clutch and gearbox going back in that day as it's the only day mechanic is free

and when he is doing free labour you take what you can

He the guy with the bald/shaved head? If so, he's the one who cut my deal on the Alpinestars gear. Very good guy to deal with.

Went there today! Didn't see Pas until the very end, so didn't actually deal with him - guy named Luke helped me out. I didn't buy anything today, but he quoted me a pretty sweet price for everything with a nice ~$100 odd discount as well like you guys said ; so I think I will buy from them :)

Was going to go with 2012 helmet on clearance for $430... but then he could get 2013 new model for $450, lols... So...

:D

So excited.

I might go for a ride after gym tonight, weather is nice - jelly? :P

Yes :(

Well after gym tonight I'll go to sleep to get up nice and early so I can ride tomorrow, at least! :D

EDIT: Jacket size was a bit annoying though. Deciding between 50 & 52...

What's your height and weight?

Better be snug. If I can fit my hand between you and your jacket...well then I'm gonna fit my hand between you and your jacket.

checking out a mates KTM 990SM today, they any good?

they're not bad from what I know (never actually ridden one), I like the ktm 990 dukes a bit more though pretty sure they're the same engine which is good

I feel violated already, Birds.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
