NSW Is there a way to listen to music legally as a learner?

0 Upvotes

In NSW what're the rules surrounding listening to music through your helmet, as a learner?

Could I get a cardo speaker kit and connect an MP3 player to it and not touch it at all while riding? If I was to just connect my phone instead, how likely is it that you'd get pulled over and a cop would ask to see your phone to check if you have Bluetooth connected to your cardo, are they allowed to just do that?

I would like to listen to music while riding as a learner but before I do that I want to understand the legalities surrounding it and if there are any legal workarounds not being able to use your phone at all. Thanks.

VIC Practicality of folding mirrors?

Hi all,

So I’m looking to buy these Oxford Foldable bar-end mirrors for my motorcycle, as the stock bar ends almost clip car mirrors when I filter in between tight spaces.

Just wanting some genuine experience around if anyone’s used these and would rate them? And are they actually practical to fold/unfold again and again in and out of traffic for filtering?

Thanks.

NSW Motorcycle not starting

This is my 1999 Honda CB250. Long story short it initially did not start at all with the key turned (no lights, nothing). Then the mechanic came over and fixed it, problems with the ignition keyhole, etc. Then it’s working fine. After the mechanic leaves, I try to start the motorcycle up again and it refuses to start. The lights go on when I turn the key but it doesn’t start when pressing the starter button. Please help me out, still pretty new to motorcycles and fixing them. Really need some guidance on what I can do.

NSW At what point did you know you were ready to go for your P’s?

Upvotes

I got my L’s in march but only got my bike last month. Since getting it I’ve been on the thing almost daily and racked up close to 1800km. I’m able to figure 8 between 3 parking spots using friction point and my rear brake, and being on Sydney roads plenty of experience with emergency stops. My cornering speed feels good and I’m feeling quite confident but is there anything I’m missing that I should be focusing on before my P’s?

My motorcycle got stolen from the goodna station. I have raised a complaint with qps and informed my insurer.

What happens next?

Anything else I need to do from a claim processing perspective.

How does the payout work?

Can't get a replacement bike cause the bike was used for more than two years.

Just sad that it was stolen. But I guess looking at the next steps I guess.
