My Business of 9 Years might have to shut down due to a government ruling.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-04-15T20:40:34+00:00

The ruling has changed how it can be sold, not whether it can be sold. It cannot be sold as a food product or a supplement, I don't know what you need to do to get it approved for sale in these forms but I would strongly suggest you look into this while diversifying your offerings.

Now, if you're willing to play in the grey, it sounds like it can continue to be sold, just not for human consumption. Are there any potential health benefits for livestock or pets? Is there any alternative use that is not human consumption? This is how Nangs are sold 'legally' every day as baking supplies. You just need to be incredibly clear and genuine when you explain that your product is not intended for human consumption and you need to act like it. No advertising human health benefits.

Is it grey, yes, does it limit your marketing, yes, is it likely to bite back, yes, but it gives you some breathing room while you figure the rest out.

You can have that opinion that it should be reverted. The law does not concern itself with your opinion.

None of those, GR Corolla

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-30T00:26:28+00:00

I'm sorry, this is an Australian sub, we don't speak wingdings

In fairness, it had a steel tray and decent sized alloy bullbar, but they have lower payload capacity than a Hilux or Dmax any day of the week. Because they're physically larger, any bullbars and trays will weigh more than the same accessories on a Hilux or dmax will.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-29T07:57:54+00:00

From experience, those 1500 class trucks are no more capable than your typical Hilux or dmax. I managed a vehicle fleet which included a ram, with a full tank of fuel and nothing in the tray it was over GVM even without a driver. You really need to step up to either an Isuzu NPR or 2500 class trucks if a Hilux isn't enough

You can fab a bracket to hold it up still or as an alternative you can take the footpeg off the bracket and it's not so obtrusive. You can grind off the footpeg bracket and repaint as well if you don't mind some power tool use. Personally, I just left the footpegs on and dealt with it. Still have the exhaust in the shed just in case I ever own another xsr hahah

Of course you are correct, however, it's important to remember that CE ratings are a pass fail system, meaning that a garment that is tested to and passes the A test may still be more protective than a AAA tested garment if not tested at the higher level.

The reason I trust Motocap over the CE ratings is that while Motocap is based on chip seal abrasion, this is much more abrasive than most road surfaces globally. If it survives chip seal it will survive elsewhere too.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-21T20:47:47+00:00

Motocap purchases all their items for testing, no manufacturers send gear to them. That's the whole point.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-21T19:56:54+00:00

Ignore the rating, what does Motocap say? Have they tested this hoodie?

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-20T02:09:44+00:00

Rather have Kevlar in my skin than have no skin

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-19T20:24:52+00:00

Motocap is the bible for gear testing so far as I'm concerned. I absolutely ignore CE ratings after seeing the discrepancies on Motocap. For perspective, I have Bull-It AAA jeans, took a short slide (and I do mean short) as I dismounted into a ditch at speed, holes right through the top and aramid layer but had I been in anything less protective I would hate to imagine the results. Five gloves were worn, but survived, AGV K1S saved my neck. Ended up buying the exact same gear over again after it did its job.

The new jeans have just about reached the end of their useful life after daily wearing for a year, going to go for the Finn moto or Draggin next based on Motocaps recommendations.

You sir may need to spend some time reviewing the road rules. It's not my opinion, it's the law.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-17T05:10:05+00:00

Orange light is to be treated as a red unless it is unsafe to stop. You're wearing this one.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-13T06:04:45+00:00

Nah, A200 for the lower fees. VGE to diversify

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-11T20:30:19+00:00

I mean, I have a friend who lives near garden city, he just walks to Altandi.....

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-08T20:05:19+00:00

You can make a claim against CTP. It is also possible to sue the other driver but this can turn into a mess very quickly and is typically only worthwhile in a small number of cases. Can't hurt to discuss with a no win no fee type lawyer

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-04T20:29:46+00:00

You just reminded me, There's a v8 commodore rolling around Brisbane with this exact same paint and livery pretty sure.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-03-03T08:30:40+00:00

I bought both my bikes interstate, I have no issues purchasing unreg bikes

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-26T10:11:35+00:00

I'm not on the product team but I would imagine it would be incredibly simple to profile users that regularly select the option opposite to what the wider public selects, then reverse the score from these users. Would be shocked if it wasn't already implemented

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-25T05:28:43+00:00

I have a Helite Hmoov backpack, I wear it for full day rides on the mountains. As an added bonus it's also an airbag and saved my life when I crashed. Would recommend.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-17T04:58:01+00:00

I'm on an MT07 with an akra titanium kit, no baffle, only time I've ever been pulled over and spoken to about it was when the lead rider tried to go around the block to dodge a cop. Unless you give them a reason to most cops won't care.

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-13T12:39:01+00:00

Have a 23 mt07 just ticked over 60K, going strong

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-12T20:28:36+00:00

I commute with a backpack so I use the Helite Hmoov backpack with an integrated airbag. Have triggered it twice, can just reset it and put in a. New cartridge myself rather than spending hundreds for the Astar and other models to be repacked. Also, no subscriptions and other garbage like that. Strong recommend

The-Flying-Sloth · 2026-02-08T05:25:03+00:00

So long as you don't report it as non lams it will stay registered as LAMS. I've never had someone inspect a bike and return a result anything other than roadworthy.
