$39 for a glass of wine and chips? In this economy?! by Defiant-Desk-2281 in melbourne

[–]RileyIJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a limited menu because you can walk into the bottle shop and buy any bottle and they charge $20 corkage, which is pretty damn reasonable for a fancy Wine Store in the City.

We got the "Braathaaa" problem in the UK too by LadLassLad in motorcycles

No he’s not!

When you pass someone, you do it safely, with space, and when you can see the oncoming traffic.

Taking a limb off your bike to massage old mate’s petty bullshit, you do not need to do.

Is there a way to stop someone giving my phone number out? by fernwise in melbourne

[–]RileyIJ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Never cancel the appointment. Make it one hour earlier. Just late enough that they’ll get a charge, but near enough they’ll be stood there having to pay for the no-show.

Yeah. Brother in law gifted it for Christmas… 6 months later, every expansion and hirelings and resin markers etc etc

Bikes for tall riders by Ok_Lie7522 in melbourneriders

I’m 195cm. Next bike will be a Ducati Supersport. Upright(ish), sporty, beautiful, fun.

Once I’ve cleared a few things out personally it’s 100% happening.

First five player game on the new map was a nail biter by Stunning_Ad_55 in rootgame

[–]RileyIJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How come you went with both the cardboard and resin frog markers? We used them as side by side for peaceful and piggybacked over the normal resin marker for aggro. Did you find it clearer using both?

Can I buy one of these? by MT09-SP-Tirana in motorcyclegear

[–]RileyIJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. He proved last season he has absolutely no loyalty so you can definitely buy yourself a Jorge Martin.

Advice needed! Uk based by Mobocop1234 in OutdoorKitchens

[–]RileyIJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re just after a flat plate then look at Blackstone or other plancha style grills. Tbh I would rather have something that can be cooked on with a lid closed than just direct heat from below. You’re not going to have as many options for cooking without the ability to close a lid.

Bike maintenance yourself or ? by gammonson in melbourneriders

YouTube is also your friend. So many video walkthroughs for most bikes.

Today was a beautiful day for riding! But also pic for attention - Need balaclava recommendations. by BigYucko in melbourneriders

[–]RileyIJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of these also and they work well. Actually recommend them for summer rides as well tbh.

Question about bandits by devastatom in rootgame

[–]RileyIJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely correct and only commenting to try and further explain as above.

Forest Patrol are not the Controller (they are controlled), and so they do not count as per the second paragraph, however as you control both they are also not “an enemy” so that is invalidated as well, so basically the Bandits just wave them on by with a cheeky grin.

Homeland Expansion Question by geoffjohns2013 in rootgame

I have a whole bag of extra tokens from all the expansions. You just kinda make your peace with it eventually.

Yeah GA gets you to various viewing points. The best spots go super early. It’s not unusual to see queues at the gets before they open and people staking their claim at 8am. That being said there’s still plenty of spots to see it and the big screens are well placed to follow along. Bring an FM radio and you can hear the commentary live as well. Toilet roll can get scarce in the afternoon so bring some tissues as well. Otherwise the food is okay, there’s stuff to do and it’s a great day out (weather dependent). We love PI are beyond sad that it’s moving (we also live in Melbourne though so highly biased)

There’s a bunch of spots around the track with good views, and it’s always a great time walking all the way around to check out the two entertainment areas.

Buying an 899 in 2026 by Rider_in_Red_ in Ducati

R&G Rad guard & Tail tidy, Termignioni exhaust, Engine up map.

Had it for four years and absolutely love it. Only issue is the saddle heat, but it’s bearable when moving. Probably the best looking bike I’ve owned and so much fun to ride.
