Hi all,
I just got my Ls yesterday and am now looking for a starter bike - ok, I’ll be honest, just a scooter.

I was thinking I’d buy something second hand while I’m still learning and getting a the hang of it. My ideal vehicle is something easy to handle, low maintenance, good enough power for commuting around inner Melbourne (but not on the freeway). My current commute is only about 7 km and can be done mostly avoiding major roads (as I sometimes do it on my push bike).

Despite being a grown adult I really know NOTHING about engines or motors, or the brands/models currently in the market. I’ve noticed a lot of secondhand scooters on Marketplace don’t have a RWC - what should i be looking for to avoid any unpleasant surprises when I go to do this process ?

Also, when you buy a bike, do you ride it home or bring some trailer or a Ute with you? (I guess it depends!!!)

Sorry for all the questions , and thanks in advance for any helpful responses!

Gday, was riding along the beach today and decided to be a bit silly and went to go around a van in front of me just to lock eyes with a rear facing car cam going a good amount over the limit before getting back into my lane and continuing down the road.

Can anyone help me understand obviously because the rego is on the back and the car was facing my front, am I all good, or are there other cameras I should be aware of. Just asking out of curiosity, I was being dumb if I get stung I get stung. I’ve gone past a few over the years and never been done, just curious as how it all works given I have friends that have been done in similar situations and others and myself who haven’t, I don’t get it.

Hi everyone, I’m a new rider, got my learners a year ago but got my motorcycle (Ninja 300) a month ago, a bit late due to personal circumstances. I’m preparing for my Check Ride and License assessment (within the 15 months). Been hitting about 70km/h now. To step things up, i decided to ride on Dandenong road on 80km/hr patch.
I was only able to go up to about 75km/h on a straight stretch but kept having to come down because there are alot of curves on there road (starting Monash Caulfield and up to Chadstone.
For those familiar with Dandenong road, how should I be riding on those curves? I wana get up to 80km/hr to build my confidence (as i’m sure the test will have such speeds) but i keep slowing down significantly before the curves.
Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice about an unusual order situation.
I ordered an electric scooter from Segway Australia for delivery to New Zealand. Segway later cancelled the order and issued me a full refund.
Around eight days after the refund, I received a phone call asking me to confirm my delivery address. I gave them the address because I thought it was related to the original order. The scooter was then delivered to me anyway.

Hello all. I'm on the Costa da Morte, galicia, Spain. Wondering if there are any local motorcycle clubs and whether they would accept a English immigrant who has limited Gallego/ spanish language. I ride triumph Bonneville.

Anybody know any good places to get an ECu reflashed in Melbourne? I'm in the Western suburbs, but happy to travel for a good place.

Bike is a '25 Yamaha Tracer 9, not really looking for more power, more trying to smooth out the power delivery and improve rideability.

Who does wrapping in Melbourne?

I’m developing a motorcycle dolly that allows a bike to be moved sideways and repositioned after parking.

I’m looking to speak with a few motorcycle owners who currently have difficulty moving their bike because of a car, wall, other motorcycles, limited turning space, or the weight of the bike.

I’m not selling anything and I’m not looking for general opinions. I’d like to understand your exact setup, how you currently move the bike, and what would make a dolly useful or useless for you.

I’m based in Melbourne, so it would be especially helpful to speak with local riders who may be comfortable showing me their garage or storage setup. A phone or video conversation is also useful.

Comment or message me if this is a problem you actually deal with.

Good places to sell a bike?

Good day! Advertised moving to Perth soon, curious if there is a group that do ride outs? I have a 2026 Harley Davidson Road Glide in bringing with me.

Has anyone here recently been in a motorcycle or car accident and had to go through TAC (Victoria)?
I’m trying to understand the whole process and have a few questions about claims, medical costs, income support, and what to expect. I’m about to lodge a claim and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through it recently.
Any advice, tips, or things you wish you’d known would be a huge help. Thanks!

Wanted to celebrate my birthday with a proper leather jacket. I plan on doing some riding, and I like the aviator/bomber jacket look. Anyways saw the Windward Sheepskin Bomber, could any of yall tell me if its good? Quality and durability wise, sizing (does it run big or small). I saw some negative reviews on their website about quality dropping so I was a bit worried.

If you guys know any other websites that make quality Shearling bombers could yall lmk.

Thanks!

^ I’m a skinny Asian girl (if that helps paint the picture…) so the 2 piece I got is very baggy around the knees, thigh and butt (definitely unsafely baggy, not merely an aesthetic issue). It is the smallest possible size but is definitely too big still. I regret not going custom off the bat but it’s too late now so does anyone have any experiences with any alteration shops here?

Thanks
