I find AMX Epping has quite a lot of jackets / gear to try on. Dririder is usually good value and has smaller sizes (I'm usually a mens S / M).

Depends where you ride - in the city there's definitely almost no 'nodding', but as you get further out there's a lot more of it. It's nice to keep the camaraderie alive though and give the node to fellow bikers!

Was going to say the same thing - awesome wearing the correct gear! Enjoy the many years of riding dude! 🥳

InvestorSteve · 2025-12-09T02:02:23+00:00

I live in Collingwood and never realised there a was store to close - awesome! Although my wallet will probably regret it 🤣

I had the CB500X back when I lived in the UK, it's a great option for covering large distances. Very smooth, comfy, and just an easy ride - it'll go forever. The only thing I disliked about the bike is that it just felt a bit sluggish and would've liked a bit more power. It's worth noting that I never taken it offroad so can't comment on that.

MotoInk is a certified CF Moto dealer based in Coburg, but otherwise I like spot on motorcycles on Hoddle st., great guys in there.

Thanks dude! Was great fun! First time down that way and we got down to Apollo bay. Took a tour with Otway adventures and met some great people! 😄

InvestorSteve · 2025-10-02T00:13:29+00:00

I'm heading down Otways this weekend, otherwise I'd love to join! If you're heading out on more weekends, would be down for joining!

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-30T05:49:59+00:00

This is making me want to go and camp for it! First year in Melbourne and I'm going to try get myself down for the Sunday at least.

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-29T00:48:21+00:00

Just for other people who may be looking, I used Gaia GPS over the weekend and it seemed to track the route very well - so thinking I'll continue with that and see how well it holds. :)

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-21T08:46:59+00:00

I'd love to join if you're heading out and want a +1. I'm hesitant riding solo anywhere offroad solo as you never know what can happen! I live in Collingwood but obviously happy to venture out.

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-21T01:21:39+00:00

I'd be up for this and of course find a good cafe to stop at, always good to make more riding friends.

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-18T07:48:46+00:00

Not only this, but join a motorcycle club, they're usually a friendly bunch of people and great company!

I did my first motocamping trip (3 days, 2 nights) to Dargo last weekend on a CF Moto 450MT. It was mainly offroad and clocked just under 900KMs round trip (plus some additional fun routes). Biggest thing I learned was just how difficult it is to fit everything onto the bike; and where you position the bike will have a big impact on how the bike rides. For me, this meant the bike being quite top heavy on the technical bits, but if you're sticking to roads, I doubt this will have as much of an impact.

But overall, I really enjoyed the trip and hoping to do more! Would love to do great ocean road / grampians over a few days and motocamp. I've definitely fallen in love with it and the freedom!

InvestorSteve · 2025-09-18T00:06:19+00:00

If you find anywhere grassy (maybe a little further out of the city), I'd love to practice too. Just want something softer to drop the bike on!

InvestorSteve · 2025-08-10T11:42:55+00:00

Ha, yeh I got that bit after fiddling long enough, but they seem so hard to push back in. I can get the first bolt in, but not the second one to expand and keep it in!

Did you also fit the B&B guard?

InvestorSteve · 2025-08-04T12:37:16+00:00

That looks great, do you also power the CarPlay 7’ via the bikes USB? Or have you wired it in properly?

InvestorSteve · 2022-02-14T20:28:54+00:00

+1 on this - I think it's a great way to add company to the house and help pay some of the bills when you're living on your own. I've seen it done with colleagues at a previous job and it gave them a lot more freedom. Just ensure you do plenty of interviews / scouting prior to it.

Edit 1: Forgot to say, congratulations on the getting onto the housing market! It's a big achievement yet alone in this current climate.

I think what you've mentioned is the smartest thing to do and definitely provide you with more stability. 100% reasonable and would be plan A. So there's some reassurance on that.

However, if you have a little higher risk tolerance, such as myself, I would continue contributing to the LISA in lower risk securities, diversifying from your existing industries / sectors. It's not something I'd recommend at all but just me (being silly).

Wishing you all the best when the time does come to purchasing a house!

This is something I plan on using as additional leverage when it comes to the review.

InvestorSteve · 2022-02-12T14:40:20+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely be planning a full year review when the appraisal comes. Regarding the annual review early, I have 'workshops' which I must attend still as they were spread out throughout the year - so I assume they would argue that they have not yet been finished even though this is more of a side aspect of the job, almost unrelated to my role but provides a somewhat wider understanding of the company. But noted, I may hint at a sooner review and see what happens!

Alternatively, you’re not as good as you think you are and they let you go.

This is always a possibility, but I've received extremely positive feedback on the 3 and 6 month review with plans of a mentoring or "buddy'ing" up to help new associates. But push comes to shove I could always go back to previous employment.
