snow above 1000 mtrs in Victoria, Australia but I don't mind those winter days when there is no rain and the wind is light.

1. This bike is a marketer's dream, it exceeds expectations in every area except one - it doesn't have the FZ-1 style factory panniers as an accessory. (and that aint its fault!) 2. The handling inspires confidence whilst the amount of power available commands repect. 3. The quality and...

Thankyou BD43 for the time, effort and ingenuity of making that harness piece for my bike. If anyone out there has a Fazer with only one headlight burning, listen up. You need to get both low beams working. My theory was the more light I put out from the headlights the easier it would be for...

Ok, you can't possibly leave out the 12 Apostles and the Great Ocean Road on this ride. Can You? There are some apartments in front of my place that are biker friendly and next to them is a motel, slightly cheaper but same deal. Here are the links. Apartments have 1 double/ensuite...

I am fortunate in that my 'office' as such consists of a series of rooms . Clients rarely see my private rooms which consists of a more contemporary style office and an ante-room complete with lounge and fireplace. The whole building is quite old and was once a judges property but the old...

Here are those instructions I followed: Ok, just a quick writeup after installing the alarm on my bike (Yammy FZR 2fiddy). Overall, the alarm is a very VERY simple one... as i was expecting. POSITIVES -CHEAP! -Better than nothing... -Did i mention cheap? NEGATIVE -No backup battery...

ok In Australia, our bike has an immobiliser fitted however the Jaycar alarm has an abundance of wires that are for all sorts of functions we don't need down here. A bunch of guys got together and bought a heap of alarms and installed them. here is a link to their forum and the info I gleaned...

oh by the way, if anyone wants me to post the installation instructions from netrider let me know. there are discounts for group buys on this eg, buy four units = $48 each. Motorcycle Alarm - Jaycar Electronics right now my little Fazer is in the garage unlocked with the alarm on. Yeah...

ok, in my install I didn't hook the alarm up to the rear indicators although I am sure you guys could, the wires are there along with other wires so the alarm goes off if the bike is started and moved (unlikely with our immobiliser). I have used one of the tool holders to hold the alarm unit...

sorry about those big pics, have sorted the new phonecam out I believe. This is how I did it and it didn't take 20 minutes like the 2005 netrider article suggested. This photo is taken during installation before the tidy up

After some research I decided on a Steelmate Motorcycle Alarm. It cost $58 and a search on Netrider shows that a bunch of guys did a group buy a few years back and got considerable savings. They also reviewed the alarm and it appears to suit my needs and keeps me out of the $300 bracket...

1. do a riding course with an accredited training company in your country and preferrably, a refresher after 6 - 12 months. 2. Tyres. Make sure your rubber isn't old or worn down too much. As you gain experience you will use more of it. Good rubber is confidence inspiring and helps good...

Looking scary is a 'tool of my trade'. I once defended 3 Hells Angels members in the 1980's and each was looking at a minimum 20 years in a Victorian Correctional Facility. It helped them feel confident I was 6' 2" and could bench press 110 kgs and practiced Karate. Somehow having a little...

Had to move a few bikes to get that shot. Normally my Fazer is at the front. couple of other bikes 2007 Night Train (with mods) 2003 BMW 2010 Sportster Custom 1200 (with many mods) 2009 Soft Tail Custom (don't mention Mods)

'JUST TELL A MAN HE IS GOING TO LOSE HIS FREEDOM AND HE WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL' Old Hopper died a few weeks ago and a friend sent me a copy of Easy Rider. I saw it when it was first released. 2 guys went out looking for America and couldn't find it. I went for a ride last weekend, in...

My Boss answers to nobody, he is the Boss. So when I ask the boss for a 'Mental Health Day' during my Sunday meditation, the Boss answered, 'What day were you thinkiing my son?' I answered. A day with Sun, low temps and preferably offshore winds, but no weekend crowds!' The Boss, 'Ok you...

They wouldn't tighten under warranty, now it is very loose. (I checked one in the showroom and it wasn't loose like mine) I think the only tool to tighten the phillips head screw behind it is a small right angle phillips head driver like an allen key? Anyone else have this problem? Rumps

I have the Ventura sports saddle bags, that can expand but I doubt if I ever will do that as I will become very unaerodynamic. Infact, saw a guy on the freeway with a new Triumph ST1050 and he had ripped the nice panniers off and put a Ventura rack and bag on the back in the interest of wind...

I have had to show Wolfmans article to my clerk and she is still laughing: 1. because I am in this forum 2. because your decision to leave home via the back fence comes up in court a lot with sometimes hilarious outcomes eg big dog on other side etc. Also, 3. sharing a bunger with a cop...

A gentleman is away for a while and comes back to much discussion on the law and its enforcement officers. You think I would have enough of this type of interaction.. Imagine my disgust when I enter a 'lower court' to find a 'chunky' little police woman sitting at the front benches just...
