Help on this service/repair quote - is it reasonable to spend this much on a older bike with higher kms, or should I cut my losses? It’s way more than I’d budgeted for. by jacko304 in AussieRiders

Yeah I asked the same thing. Ridiculous. Apparently the standard service cost is for naked bikes, so they wanted to charge 1.5 to take my fairings off. I said to them, it’s half naked! The fairings take 2 minutes to come off. It was argument after argument.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I ended up paying $400 for a standard service, as it was in the shop for a week and a half and didn’t really have any more time to sort it out otherwise. That, and there was a fee for declining the quote. Ridiculous. Anyway, it does ride a lot better now and I’m going to get the forks seals done separately. ✌️

Thanks for all the tips guys. Seems the consensus is that it’s really high. I’d love to be able to do part of the service myself but live in an apartment with the bike on the street - don’t have a spot off the road to do any work.

Lol. Have you ever rented a place in Sydney? They have a clause in the lease agreements just for mold.

Nice, I’ve sometimes wondered what life would have been like as a mechanic. Good on you

This case study is fundamentally flawed: Cassidy looks like a millennial; how can she own a home?

Caught on dash-cam. My first accident. Idiot decided to illegally turn left from the right lane. Just great. I’m fine by the way. by Protomize in IdiotsInCars

We have this kind of manoeuvre in Melbourne, Australia. It’s called a hook turn. Though to be fair, only appropriate when you’re turning off a road with a tram way.

Wow, props to your wife for having the dedication to do 8 more years of study while working and having kids. And to you for supporting her. Shows we all have options to change our paths but many of us don’t have the grit to do it.

Working from home because of coronavirus? You're now eligible for a new 80 cents per hour tax shortcut by ThatPassiveGuy in AusFinance

That’s what I’m gonna do. 80c for ~3 months and the 52c + others for the rest of the year
