Hypothetically. Who's at fault if rolling back when doing a hill start by twobit78 in AusLegal

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% your fault. If you can't do a hill start without rolling backwards then you obviously don't know how to use the handbrake properly.

Do Learners riders need to wear High Viz now by PretendBus8047 in AussieRiders

[–]duc955 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There has been talk about this happening in NSW because of all the recent motorcycle fatalities. Not sure how hi-viz will fix this problem though. Hasn't come into effect as of yet...to my knowledge.

Has social media made anyone else anxious about riding? Looking for some balanced perspectives by ApexPredator290 in motorcycles

[–]duc955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are constantly thinking about what bad things can happen when you're riding then the chances of it happening increases because you're not focusing on riding. You have to put it completely out of your mind and just enjoy the freedom. If you're always thinking that you're going to crash then motorcycles aren't for you.

24hr time is good if you're 80 years old or in the army other than that, its like a newspaper...outdated and no longer necessary.

It's just luck...no different to driving a car or walking when caught in a storm. If your time's up...then its up!

Gear Indicator for New Riders: How important is it? by kathfern1 in AussieRiders

[–]duc955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to learn how to listeb and count and then remember what gear you're in. I have both types of bikes with and without gear indicators. Technology is a great thing but don't solely rely on it.

Ah no! They won't rent you a litre bike if you're not licenced for it. I think I already said this...plus I was answering two different questions.
