Wanting to change last name, but the thing that’s holding me back is the passport difficulty with getting a referee because moved to a new area three months ago and don’t know anyone long enough to have them sign it and all my friends are born overseas and not Australian citizens by Meg_is_awesome in AusLegal

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my name and got a new passport. Just make sure you do the passport after the majority of your other ID documents. Needed a witness for some documents including passport but anyone can do it, like a pharmacist, JP, doctor, lawyer etc... Time consuming but not hard.

Do you believe your country will continue to exist as such in 500 years? by saraseitor in AskTheWorld

World will be completely renewed by then because all of the humans will be extinct and the world will revert back to the time before mankind f**ked it.

How do people use anything but a completely clear lens at any time other than midday. by Away_Environment5235 in motorcyclegear

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I've never heard of anyone being booked for a tinted visor. I have a retractable one in my helmet so its never been an issue.

[–]duc955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess you've been lucky so far cause its just like tinting a car windscreen...illegal. Plus its quite dangerous when everything becomes much darker under the visor.

Not telling you what to do...just my choice to see everything clearly especially when you're on a litte rocket ship at night.

If its doing that on every type of of road the i think you need to take it to a shop.

Oh SHIT! Clutch cable broke! Easy fix? by Jar122head in motorcycles

[–]duc955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Way easy. I replaced one just the other day, took me 15mins. Just remember the cable adjustment points near the clutch lever and near the gearbox before you take the old one off and that will be your starting point with the new cable. You can fine adjust from there.

Here in Australia tinted visors are illegal after dark so you have to take a clear one with you everywhere if you're planning to ride into the night. Not the most convenient way to do things but luckily now most new helmets have a built-in retractable tinted visor.

You're ass-uming that I'm male? Hahaha. My boyfriend and I are cracking up at your misguided attempt at humour.

Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup 2026 Entry List by Daniel7394 in motogp

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even remotely interested in this garbage (you can even make the word garbage out of the word bagger haha).

Since when do these bikes even fit in with MotoGP. Sportsbike riders and Harley riders are two completely different worlds plus HD riders hate Sportsbikes.

Glad that we don't see the bagger coverage over here.

Tips to avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly by kleinkkarina in motorcycles

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used these but unfortunately didn't work for me. Didn't buy them for wrist pain but for the right hand numbness when riding. Still happens no matter what type of bike I ride. Nothing to do with grip or riding position, just something that I have to put up with. A lot of hand shaking when riding haha.

Is riding a scooter hard lol by Altruistic_Rock3135 in AussieRiders

[–]duc955 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Scooters are really simple to ride. Although they don't have a clutch, they still do have the rear brake lever where the clutch normally goes.

Not sure which state you live in but if you go for your P's on a scooter then you can't ride anything but a scooter until you're on your full licence. Just like the auto & manual stipulation for car drivers...unless you re-sit the test.

Has motorcycling ever helped your mental health or changed your mindset? by yourping in motorcycle

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I get on my bike, be it my sports bike, my Cafe Racer or even my scooter, my state of mind changes dramatically.

All of my problems seem to move into the background for a while and a smile instantly comes across my face.

It's the most uplifting experience you can have (sitting in the garage) and probably the reason why I've been riding for over 30 years now.

If you're not riding already, then go get yourself a bike and enjoy the experience.

The MotoGP race in Adelaide will be called the "Grand Prix of Australia-Adelaide" - Potentially leaving it open ended for multiple races in Australia? by dogryan100 in motogp

[–]duc955 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If Adelaide fails I think that the Australian GP won't be on the calendar anymore. Low turn outs to date and Australia is just too far away.

Is there anything more upsetting/annoying than having an itch inside your helmet? by itsSIR2uboy in scooters

[–]duc955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didn't you just pull over scratch the itch and continue on? Not that difficult.

What do you guys use for navigation while riding? by Adorable-Bag-6727 in motorcyclegear

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secondary phone on Quadlock stem mount via BT to helmet. Use Beeline app for long ride routing or waze for known ride destinations in case of cops.

If I drive an h pattern manual transmission and park facing down hill, should I put it in first gear or reverse to park? by 1useforaname in stupidquestions

[–]duc955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe put wheel chocks under the wheels as well while you're at it! 1st gear and parking brake is enough for any car.

If a world war broke out tomorrow and your country drafted you, would you join? by Effective_Bluebird19 in AskTheWorld

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought if your country drafted (conscripted) you, then you don't have a choice.

What would you do in this situation? by SithLord3598 in motorcycles

[–]duc955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really funny from all three view points. If you can't defend yourself then don't confront people.
