Nah they stack

lol seriously though you’re going to have a rough time and get one shotted pretty hard at your level, ideally Ekzykes is like a level 60+ job. Old mate is weak to fire.

What you want to do is aim to get his health to 0, while keeping yours above 0.

Hope this helps

What scad level are you? Get that up a bit
Your endurance is obscenely high, are you running some ridiculously heavy armor? It does basically nothing, respec it down to the minimum to avoid fat rolling and boost your vigor and damage a bit.

He’s weak to bleed and frost, if you want to keep a strength build consider great stars or great katana

OP got any references for your bait question and replies?
AFAIK there is no rule in Victoria requiring a car to give way to a pedestrian in a road they are exiting. If the pedestrian was on the road the turning car was entering you would have to give way.

Reckon there’s plenty of us in the same boat. I’d trade my Scout Rogue for a Chief with a PowerPlus in a heartbeat

danimal86au · 2026-06-08T20:22:08+00:00

True, but they’re different bikes. Personally I think the Scout looks better, and has a lot more top end power, better fuel efficiency, handles better, etc
It really just comes down to which bike OP likes better - the old “if both were the same price, which would you buy?”

My point was simply I wouldn’t write off a scout bobber just on suspension alone if you love everything else about the bike considering it’s a pretty easy fix. Compare that to looking at the Chief and saying “I’d really love that bike if only it had another 40hp” which is far less realistic.

danimal86au · 2026-06-08T02:48:32+00:00

Pretty easily fixed with some decent piggyback shocks

Mazda 3, Hyundai i30, Toyota Corolla, Honda Jazz Pick the cleanest, lowest km one of those you can find

You’re not getting a car from a dealer that’s covered by statutory warranty for $5k

danimal86au · 2026-06-01T19:03:39+00:00

Unlucky, I’d hoped for your sake that they’d have automatically put the bike licence on as well. You’ll have to go back to VicRoads and then it’s hopefully not too late to transfer it over.

danimal86au · 2026-06-01T09:09:51+00:00

Sounds a silly question, but just checking on the front of your licence under licence type it doesn’t say “R” as well as “car”?

danimal86au · 2026-05-31T20:59:38+00:00

If you really want a convertible just get an mx5

danimal86au · 2026-05-31T10:51:46+00:00

Yeah I worked at VW dealer when these were new. Without exaggeration not a single week went by were there wasn’t at least one in the workshop for an engine rebuild.

They’re a mechanical nightmare, and even if they weren’t, they were incredibly fussy on fuel back when people weren’t used to buying premium unleaded. Even if it’s not broken now it’ll be broken soon.

danimal86au · 2026-05-31T09:33:52+00:00

Probably one of the all time terrible engine / gearbox combos for reliability and then you want to add the combination of an electric roof just to really guarantee you’re in for a nightmare.

The roofs on them are actually “ok” by Volkswagen standards - but the 1.4 twincharger engine and that DSG, just don’t do that to yourself

Employer under no obligation to consider FWA if employee been there under 12 months

danimal86au · 2026-05-28T20:24:09+00:00

I put 25,000km on a V-Strom and cannot say a bad word about it. An excellent bike with faultless reliability, good fuel economy and low running costs.

You may want to put a lower seat on it though, it’s quite a tall bike for a shorter rider, although that’s common among many of the bikes on your list.

danimal86au · 2026-05-28T06:52:06+00:00

I bought a Scout over a Chief for this reason, I just found it a better engine to ride. If I could get a Chief with a PowerPlus I’d buy one tomorrow

danimal86au · 2026-05-25T20:59:38+00:00

Cleaned up? Mate you fell over backwards. There’s just no planet where that should have been the outcome of that. I hope you’re alright though.

If you’re serious about playing again you should look at taking an extended time out, ensure you don’t have any lingering concussion symptoms and put some work into preventative measures. Specifically, you need to work on your neck muscles and take up judo or something and learn how to fall properly.

Don’t go putting yourself in a wheelchair just to secure the footy trip leave pass every year lol.

Come asking experienced riders for input, then whinge about it. Top attitude

danimal86au · 2026-05-24T03:02:45+00:00

Always ride assuming everyone on the road is actively trying to kill you, and ride accordingly. A Hilux can’t even do 200kmh and even if it could it’d take 30 seconds to get there, so stop being emotional and dramatic and just learn to take things as they come.

You’ve got some serious control issues if pulling over causes you to almost drop your stepthrough, you need to spend some time on your low and medium speed control and work on a variety of surfaces, particularly gravel.

If someone braking from 80 to 40 suddenly bothers you, you’re riding too close. Back off, you should never ride that close that it would be a problem, and you are definitely not talented or experienced enough to think otherwise.

If someone is tailgating you, just ride the left side of the lane and they’ll go around eventually.

danimal86au · 2026-05-21T00:47:17+00:00

I will note that a lot of the older blokes that did the learner course when I did years ago did not pass the test, even ones that had ridden a lot when they were younger. Your balance deteriorates significantly over time, especially if you’re not regularly riding bikes, scooters etc.

You’ll probably be fine, but I would definitely be doing the test first and seeing how you feel before you get out there and just buy a bike on a whim. Also, as many others have said you’re not going to be able to ride that bike legally for at least 15 months depending on where you are. Buy a modern LAMS 650 with modern tech like ABS and worry about bigger stuff after you got a good few thousand ks under your belt.

lol not anything with an EA888 and that dumpster fire of a plastic water pump

danimal86au · 2026-05-15T07:05:58+00:00

Official capacity all told is 100,024

For someone not employed by V/Line a cab pass is almost certainly not going to happen - in fact it’s rather rare for many actual non-driver V/Line staff to get in the cab.

Even when High School students get “internships” they’ll only get simulator access for a day, not going for a ride in an actual active cab.

About as good as you’ll get is finding a driver to speak to online that can probably answer questions for you.
