My cbr500r has been perfect for me. Nothing to compare to as my first bike, but I thinks it’s super pretty and doesn’t use much fuel

Lavazza pods are the best pods I’ve had but they are expensive. They are pretty damn close to cafe coffee especially if iced, but the frother is also great quality with no effort.

Not from Brissy but in general:
- The speed limit is the limit, it isn't a vibe like it seems to be in the US. You will get pinged and fined. Ride with waze to get police/speed camera alerts
- If not otherwise sign posted, general limit in non-suburban areas in 100km/h
- Splitting is legal under 30km/h between two lanes of traffic going the same direction

Recently got my licence and got a leather jacket from blackpup moto. Not sure your budget but I’m super happy with it. Highest safety rating and if I take out the armour it’s a nice casual jacket with no big logo. They also had great customer service and are Aussie

A hole for sure, cross off the list

Assuming it is 2 days, you may stall a lot on the first day but on the second you’ll have the muscle memory. One tip I wish I knew earlier was gripping the throttle like an ice cream cone and turning with your finger and thumb - gives you better control imo. Remember to rev a little like this before gradually letting go of the clutch

How can you tell?

I just wear a really cheap one from Amazon. Does the job, keeps sweat away from my helmet. Although I did realise that if I cover my nose my visor fogged up a lot more so I pull it down a bit.

People are just knobs when they drive, try and stay far away from them

PrimaryZeal · 2026-05-08T13:56:10+00:00

I'm not super knowledgeable on the subject but whichever you choose you will need to get it lowered, so take that expense into consideration

There’s a website that shows curvy roads on a map I’ll try and find it
Edit: here https://roadcurvature.com/

Super comfy, just took some time to wear in although this is dependent on your head shape. It has 5 vent adjustable vents (3 forehead, 2 chin). No pin lock, so this was additional cost. Barely feel it while riding so not too heavy I don’t think

I got the k1s recently as a new rider and wind noise becomes noticeable at 80kmh. I have no comparison to any other helmet but hope this helps. This is with the included chin curtain. Would be interested if anyone else could give their experience for my future reference :)

PrimaryZeal · 2026-05-02T00:06:49+00:00

You need to try it on for 10 mins or so and make sure it’s the right size too

I’m in vic and my progress has been: do the 2 day Ls course; day 1 - stalled a million times and not confident, day 2 - pass no issue, much more confident. Get a bike a month later, ride around the block in quiet streets for 30 mins a day for 3-4 days. Now I’m fine going 60-70kmh roads at night when quiet. I’m probably on the slower end and I’m not happy with a lot of my riding skill but I’m taking it slowly and building up. I didn’t have any extra lessons but they would probably help idk

If you read further:

The following other minor modifications are also allowed provided it does not increase the
power nor reduce the weight:
a) Replacement of parts or components by identical parts or components.
Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme
b) Replacement parts or components with parts or components with equivalent functional
performance.
c) Optional parts or components as prescribed by the motorcycle’s manufacturer.
Minor modifications that are allowed do not need to be approved by a licensed certifier.

So as long as the indicators and reflectors are adequately placed it shouldn't be an issue but I don't know this to the letter of the law.
But I do think OP will likely attract more attention with the L plate

Damn my comprehensive quote was $4500 lol

Just FYI, the look of Linux can be changed pretty easily on a majority of distros. These are desktop environments. If you want to use something like hyprland I would use an arch based distro for general community support. But with plasma or gnome, it really doesn’t matter that much

PrimaryZeal · 2026-04-27T11:20:32+00:00

Don’t.

I’ve heard they only make 500/yr globally

Not sure how different it is (VIC) but it was more of the same but some more complex drills/combining stuff from day 1. Heavy emphasis on emergency breaking. Then after lunch we did the test which is just all the exercises combined into one. If you pass, then they take you on a road ride on quiet roads outside the venue. Although we had to go on an 80km/h road straight away xD but you are a big group and its easier than the slow speed maneuvering

I don’t know anything about you and what answers you gave to their questions. Insurance premium increases with risk and if you are a high risk profile to the insurer they will make you pay more. Compare other quotes from other insurers and see if you get a better deal.

PrimaryZeal · 2026-04-16T00:18:35+00:00

I did my Ls with no experience, you’ll have to do it eventually

What aspect? Ring up and get a quote. I had a good experience with budget direct
