    Dale McLean Motorcycle Electronics

    Hi all, I just wanted to let anyone in Australia (maybe international) know about Dale McLean Motorcycle Electronics - StarCom1 Australia | BikerCom | Communications Australia | motorbike communication | StarCom1.com | Motorcycle Communications. I spent a large amount of effort a couple of...

    Rider AND bike walked away

    I was sitting in traffic on Stanley St, Woolloongabba yesterday evening and got tail-ended. A real shock to the system as I always (well, ALMOST always as it turns out) keep an eye on the situation behind me for just this. Apparently she was studying her GPS and didn't look up in time to see...

    Bikes at work

    I shares a parking spot at work with a couple of other guys. One of them has bought himself a new bike a couple of months ago. The sheer beauty of the scene struck me this morning when I got off my bike and looked back and I thought I'd better share it with the forum.

    Wave as you go past

    I'm at the BP servo on Gympie Rd at Aspley, sitting next to my broken-down fizzer. I gather the battery has died. This is the first time the bike and I were going to spend any time together in ages. The family have already gone up to Coolum for the weekend and I was on the way to meet them...

    Dear John

    Dear 2008 FZ6S We need to talk, and I thought the best way to start the discussion was a letter. I’m sorry it had to come like this but I don’t think I could get everything out if I talk to you. This may come as a surprise but I’ve been thinking about seeing someone else. I know from your...

    Oggies FTW!

    What did I learn yesterday? Oggie Knobs are essential equipment. Embarrassing…… I did a hill start yesterday morning on the way to work onto a usually busy road. There was actually nothing coming and nothing waiting behind me so I don’t really have an excuse but I stalled the bike. Of course...

    Aching Leg

    Hi all, I’ve been to the doctor the last couple of days. Been through blood tests, xrays and been poked and prodded. Basically, my left leg below the knee is aching. Its not in any one spot and its not constant although it does get reasonably intense on occasion. I wanted to rule out anything...

    Attitude Kills

    This is a great forum to go with my new FZ6S, particularly because I have managed to contact some locals and organised to go for a ride yesterday morning. I told them that I wasn’t very experienced, didn’t know the roads and was on a new bike so I would be taking it easy. In my own mind I was...

    Bike shop on a Sunday in Brisbane

    So, because I smashed my lid and I want to get a new one and go for a run today, WHERE CAN I BUY A BIKE HELMET ON A SUNDAY IN THIS TOWN? They all seem to close just after lunchtime on a Sunday and open again at 7:30 on Monday. Cheers in advance for your help.

    I'm so stupid!

    OK, so the title was so that oldfast could have some fun. The wife called out to me this afternoon from the garage - she'd been out shopping. She wanted me to move the boxes that had fallen over which were now blocking her path into the garage. The boxes which had my helmet on top of...

    First Bike Size

    Hey peeps, I'm new here so any offence I give is completely unintended and if I’m going over old ground, there are a LOT of threads so I apologise for bringing up old stuff. My comment is on the suitability of a mid-sized bike for a beginner. This is the thread that got me thinking...
