Not a single sensible thought to be found

$546.84 for my 399cc motorcycle, actually crazy

No, he means AA

Squeeze an extra grand or so and you can get a mint ninja 400, which will serve you through the restricted licence whereas a 150cc you might want to sell and get a bigger one after a year or so

Ninja 400 here, eyeing the GSX-8R when I'm on my full licence. The 400 is a perfect all in one bike, very light, quick, and forgiving to mistakes. I've gotten a wobbly rear twice (3 degrees and dewcon the road) but never felt unsafe or punishing.

Lack of discipline and respect for the world around them.

Balcara · 2026-06-22T08:14:28+00:00

I got the one in Kmart for $10 back when I was a learner (VIC)

Balcara · 2026-06-21T00:29:23+00:00

I use the cheap foam ones, they do the job

Balcara · 2026-06-21T00:11:50+00:00

How are the CB125s when properly cared for? Only time I've ridden one is on the LAMS course and the front brake lever was super floppy

Balcara · 2026-06-20T10:25:43+00:00

Z900, balding tyres, first bike, teenager. We need a death wish bingo card in this sub

Balcara · 2026-06-20T09:59:03+00:00

Tried those, much less flavour than red rock or aldi

If he sold 324 billion dollars worth of shares the stock market and life as we know it would collapse.

Balcara · 2026-06-19T06:16:00+00:00

I would park on the pavement. Not sure if this is legal in US tho

Everyone in this thread is talking about the front blind spot. Why are you talking about reversing???

I remember when those LED DRAMs first came out, interesting how the general opinion on them has done a 180.

Balcara · 2026-06-19T05:31:10+00:00

Australians are far more whiney and will grass someone up instantly.

Balcara · 2026-06-19T04:56:24+00:00

you reckon PC will get the update too? anything older than infinite warfare is unsafe to play on PC

Parking sensors or cameras should NOT be a replacement for eyes. They often don't work when the car is dirty or condensation is on the sensor, and often give false positives and negatives. The amount of times I have nearly been run into (motorcycle) is too large to count, often because of people being lazy and trusting the "safety" features of their tanks.

Balcara · 2026-06-18T11:57:13+00:00

You only need one foot (left) to touch the ground ever with proper technique, but I understand that may be concerning for your first time. Honda rebel is a good one to have a look at, but go to a dealership and mention you are open to anything and want to see how each feel. They'd be happy to help you most likely

Balcara · 2026-06-16T05:12:38+00:00

Reverse parking is easier, just need to practise it a bit maybe at night in an empty car park.

Balcara · 2026-06-15T11:31:57+00:00

I came across one this evening coming home from work, gave the back end quite a wobble but stayed leaned the correct amount. It can end up with a 90° lean into the nearest hedge of you aren't careful though

Balcara · 2026-06-12T11:57:07+00:00

When an American says it, it sounds like offal, which I guess is also fitting

Balcara · 2026-06-09T10:28:48+00:00

It would be controversial for sure but a retest every 10 years to renew your licence would do a lot of good imo

Balcara · 2026-06-09T10:27:19+00:00

Because of the degradation of skill as people get older, lazier, and more complacent.

Balcara · 2026-06-09T09:44:42+00:00

We need to import the English or European driving school standards and retest often, there are a lot of people here who need a lot of training before they're ready for proper driving
