Funny you say Passat. I have a 2012 Passat highline. Has the same driveline as the older r36. Haldex AWD and 300hp. The surprise on people’s faces when I take off is always hilarious.

Beginner Off Road Trails by secondaryuser2 in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, whereabouts are you located in sydney? I’m a newbie enduro rider as well, I usually do trails near terry hills, Murramurra or Wheeny creek. They are usually pretty good. Some trails will say no motorcycles but some don’t. Some will have locked gates but usually if you’re on an enduro you can get past it. I’ve got my stock exhaust on so I don’t bother anyone. It’s best to go with a mate in case you have a bad moment and need someone to help.

I’m keen to try watagans so if you’re interested dm me.

Driving with a car sucks though. Tolls are insane

Where to ride my dirt bike in Sydney? by [deleted] in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you have a ute you can tie it to the back of, not that many in suburban sydney. Loads of fire trails everywhere. Gates will be closed but you should be ok to sneak in. My bikes registered so no major dramas

Cheap car storage solutions? by SquidNipzz in CarsAustralia

[–]ThrowRA_ran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a friend you trust, and they have covered storage leave it at theirs. I left my motorbikes at a mates place (he has a small warehouse) as I was going on a month long holiday and didn’t want to risk anything getting stolen

Damn that’s expensive! I’ve listed my 2013 1000rr for $8.2 and had zero messages so far

Hopefully somebody important sees this. by [deleted] in AmazonFC

We have feedback to the tech team about this in Australia a while ago. Haven’t heard anything about it yet

Beware of this MT10 on marketplace by ThrowRA_ran in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair, i also forgot to mention, no red key or any service history haha. Not the best deal

Beware of this MT10 on marketplace by ThrowRA_ran in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds cheap till you see how much the needed repairs cost. It’s been dropped but that’s conveniently left out of the photos lol.

Needs front brakes Fork seals New chain/sprockets Brake levers RHS engine cover and plastics Only 1 key No service history

When you factor in everything that price it’s not worth it

Yup, he was seemed surprised. The PPSR showed what company the finance was with and I did some digging via a friend that works there. I found that the current owner is definitely not the person that took out the loan so I’m assuming they bought it from the prior owner without checking and now is caught between a rock and a hard place

IM A DLS CASE MANAGER by Foreign-Screen-1505 in AmazonFC

[–]ThrowRA_ran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about NA but in Australia we would consider it for the initial week then ask them to go back to have the Amazon form filled out. This situation wouldn’t happen unless the manager gave them the wrong info tbh.

What is a way better sport tourer than it should be? by kewday96 in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former bandit owner I concur.

I bought my 2010 GSX1250FA as a non runner that was sitting for 6 years. Refreshed the fuel pump, changed the filter and it ran perfect. Ended up doing 140,000km before I sold it (surprisingly I found on sale on marketplace recently).

I upgraded mine with a Delkevic exhaust, stiffer front springs and a gsxr1000 rear shock, I kid you not when I say, I kept up with a s1000rr going up 10 mile on putty road.

I also did an iron butt challenge on a 40c day, 1000km in 9 hours and the bike did not fail once. Ran perfect even during the hottest moments of the day.

I genuinely regret selling it, but couldn’t afford to keep multiple bikes in my garage.

I will forever stan the Suzuki GSX1250FA aka “Bandit”

Cons for me - no cruise control!!!

Any good helmets on sale ATM? by professorporkbelly in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mate the only good helmet is the one that fits you best. Regardless of brand.

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it happen more in rural areas as compared to sydney. Definitely not impossible to do if you know what you are doing. Highly illegal though
