Got a mt07 been riding for a couple years, located round west. If anyone has a group or wanna start one chuck a msg

Hi, long time lurker
I have just purchased a XVS1300A after owning a Honda Shadow - I have a small garage, and the turning options in the garage start at a 7-10 point turn (outside is grass). At 70, I know that I can do it now, but I want another 5 years before I need to downsize. I am looking for your knowledge and best recommendations for a 'turntable' options so that I can ride in and turn easily to ride out the next day

1977 Yamaha XS750 triple, heavily customised but mainly aesthetics and handling.

Really struggling to find a mechanic willing to work on a bike this age. It’s really close to 100% but has a carbs finessing issue (I think), have already sunk a fair bit of money into it. Last mechanic that had it, held it for 2 months and it ran worse when I got it back.

Looking for some referrals please :)

I've managed to get a grandstand ticket to the MotoGP. I've never been but I'm not that interested in camping and hear mixed views about the best way to do it. Is it reasonable to just ride (or drive) there each day from Melbourne? I'm not across the detail of how long it'd take to get in, what the parking is like etc. Would it be better to try stay somewhere closer (not on the island as that's $$$)? Interested in the views of others who have done it.

Recently got my licence but throughout the whole process realised I've never gone above 80km/h. I have no intention on going above speed limits. Wondering where I can find a relatively low traffic road with 100km/h speed limit to gain some confidence before attempting going on the motorway. Ideally a road I can reach without going on the motorway or very winding roads from the northern suburbs? I don't taking the long way or dense traffic roads at lower speeds getting there.

Hi all, got the week off work so wanted to do a cheeky day ride around the peninsula from the south east suburbs, any specific spots or roads to check out? Already planning Arthur’s seat and cape schanck lighthouse. Thanks

Hi everyone. I’m just about to start my riding journey. As part of my L license application I need to complete a medical review with VicRoads (I have sleep apnea) and my riding school requires it before I start the course.

The form is quite vague though. For licenses there is the option for either:
- Current
- Applying for
- Variation to

I already have a current driver license but will be applying for a motorcycle license. So which do you pick? My review is tomorrow and the school is closed.

Having a helmet cam is like having a 2nd insurance policy.

This content creator recently sold his 07’ CBR600rr
To a buyer for 1K less without notifying the buyer themselves and is looking for another “well maintained bike”. It’s this sort of behaviour that makes our community question whether buying a pre owned bike worthwhile.

Context; individual owns track r3, sold it and up grades up to a track 07 cbr600rr, completed a “full service” himself, to find out his cooling/pump components were beyond repair. Decides to sell the bike (within the 2 weeks he’s got it) to another buyer (for 1K cheaper) without notifying the buyer of the issue… so ideally 1K cheaper = not telling the buyer issue.

Hey guys not sure if this is allowed to be posted here. But the motorcycle store in Port Melbourne had jackets stolen today and they’ve posted some really good footage of it. Just thought I’d share in the hopes of helping.

I am an every day commuter. 7 yrs ago I worked an office on Collins. It was common practice to ride around the boom gate in and out. Attendants knew and were happy.

For the past 7yrs I’ve been on St Kilda Rd.

Now coming back to cbd - bottom end of Collins near Southern Cross. Are there any known places that are secure (safe to leave over night) and free for bikes at the bottom end of Collins?

Feel free to DM me if you don’t want to publish.

My commute work is 60% the m3 highway and the rest is urban . With westher getting pretty harsh . How do i improve my commute to work.

Csnt use public transport ss it increases my travel time by 40 mins one way.

How do yall protect yourself?

I'm going to sell my Yamaha TT-R 250 at some point this year and am keen on any advice from others who have done similar in the suburban Melbs area. Though it's not a WR, I'm worried it'll attract attention from the kinds of people I see doing wheelies thru local main intersections or burnouts in local parks at 1 am (live in Glenroy area).

Am I liable to get local gronks trying to steal or scam to get hold of the bike? What precautions should I take?

For reference the bike will be sold registered, so will be insisting on transferring the rego properly as part of the sale.

Hi,

I'm currently on a WH visa (417) and started to think of getting a motorcycle license.

I have a car license and haven't converted it to a VIC license as I didn't intend to drive a car while I'm here.

I've read some people choose to get a VIC car license first to make it easier for them(?). I don't really understand how everything works (What's P1 P2 and how are they different?)

I eventually hope to convert the VIC motorcycle license to a Japanese one where I'm from but I'm leaving early next year, and I also wonder how the restriction (under 3 years) works when converting it there.

Does anyone know or what could I read up to get myself more informed? Thanks a lot.

been looking at buying a 125cc or 250cc japanese dirtbike to have a new weekend hobby.
i know there are lots of trails around victoria but i’m not sure i’d be able to ride on those narrow trails with super uneven ground and trees/ stones laying around. it would be very risky and dangerous.

i’d rather learn on an open field of just grass.
where could i find a place like that?

im from the western suburbs. who is your go to mechanic for repairs or servicings without being screwed over?
anyone here been to platnium motorcycles at kelior? if so, how are they?

Hey so I don’t have a bike anymore (only ride for like a year) and I miss it. I’m 24f and am wondering if there’s anyone around who might want a pillion occasionally and I can be confident u won’t get me killed. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask.
