Yeah, in such a small vehicle, you've got zero road presence, and many drivers don't watch out for you.

I was looking at buying a peugot scooter before I got the line, but when I took one for a test drive and was nearly run over by a 4WD, I decided I needed something bigger ;)

i find it hard to believe they wouldnt have seen you jason.... :cheers:

It was exactly $2400..... or .... $600 more than my hand bag... humm.....

Yeah im already dealing with arseholes on the road... THey do see me.. because they make a pathetic attempt of overtaking me. Just a note to cars... they skim past me with about 1/2 a meter between the bike and their car, the speed they pass at just about pushes me off the scooter... Anyone overtaking a scooter please give them plenty of room. Its hard though fighting with the wind, than having to deal with unpaitent road rage morons! Maby i should get some weapons installed... Paint spray can as they go by?? would have a nice effect on the side of the car! or a screwdriver.. nice scratch!

but... yesterday a guy at work told me he wouldnt ever buy a moterbike because hes friend was in a serious accident while on his bike..... but... if your friend was in a serious accident corssing the road... would you never cross the road again?

Jason, I was actually going to get a peugot ludix, but it was $3000. I was going to save up and get one in a few months, but because of what happened with troys car... I figured i had better things to spend that extra bit on. Just changing the locks on the house cost us $300, which we get back from our content insurance but that will take them 3 weeks to process!

thats what paul n i do to pushbikes in peakhour traffic :P So annoying ..... least scooters and motorbikes and keep up the pace and are meant to be on the road!

Kyles - watch out for Perth drivers. I've been riding a motorbike for over 5 years now and I still nearly get run over at least once each time I'm out.. Perth drivers are inconsiderate and stupid/blind.. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of room to get some road "presence" and make sure you keep a close eye out for the traffic and you should be fine.

*cough* Yokel lanesplitter!

 

:D:)

*cough* perth driver *cough*

Nah - not while lanesplitting. Funny thing was, that during peak hour traffic I always found it was safer to split as people would always try to take up my spot in the lane *ignoring* the fact that I was there.

Farkin Perth drivers suck....

Scooters Rock.

I have a Beta Eikon - with an exhaust and Malossi MHR Brake Pads.

Does 90 on the flat - and the most wicked stoppies.

Have an uprated variator and clutch going in Weds.

We should have a scooter cruise...

Jash

Jash, should i take it to you to get mods?

I enquired about getting neons today. im doing it!!! Getting 2 each side inside the frount wheel gard, and 2 on the back wheel gard .. red... Ill have a switch at the frount. The guy at car sterio city even thinks he could install a sterio on it! ill do that when the scooter becomes a toy and just for leasurly drives in summer.

Ive also decided to get the wheels chromed. But dont know who does that.. anyone know?

what you need that for jash???

Belt around home on it. Handy for picking up takeaway. Also good for taking to town - free and easy parking. Plus its hilarious. Particularly when you pull stoppies at traffic lights.

and most importantly, try to anticipate what the other drivers are going to do. Can save a lot of trouble and skin. Unfortunately some of them don't even know themselves what they are going to do.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
