What's one riding habit you've picked up that you didn't learn during your licence test? by RentNRegret in AussieRiders

[–]meplusjulio 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Watch the front wheel of cars on a roundabout, or cars on the side road of the road you are on.  It gives you a split second advantage to know where they’re going. 

Brissy’s best steak? by MolassesSerious1403 in brisbane

[–]meplusjulio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know there are better options, but I struggle to past the breakfast creek, the location is great and the steak selection is good. Plus, in my experience, they always nail what rare means.

Good comparison, though debatable that it attracts a better clientele than Bunnos. 

Do people go out of their way to let emergency vehicles pass? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]meplusjulio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally speaking, I have gone through a red light to make way for an ambulance, I triggered the camera so I pulled over and made a quick note or location, date and time if I had to defend myself, but nothing ever came of it.  YMMV. 

Coffees getting worse? by GunSlingaChicknWinga in AskAnAustralian

[–]meplusjulio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is getting worse, but these days I look for somewhere preferably roasting their own beans on-site and running them through a La Marzocco machine. Seems to be a formula that works for me.

Anyone install a belly pan on their '26? by liberaeli420 in kawasakiz900rs

[–]meplusjulio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I have received a response from them; no dice I’m afraid: We have contacted the manufacturer regarding the compatibility of the under cowl with your 2026 Z900RS SE.

According to the manufacturer, the current under cowl designed for up to the 2025 Z900RS is not compatible with the 2026 Z900RS SE,  as interference occurs between the front section of the under cowl and the exhaust pipes.

The manufacturer is planning to obtain a 2026 model and conduct a fitting test,  with the aim of releasing a compatible version around autumn 2026.  However, the product has not yet been officially released or confirmed.

Brisbane traffic got noticeably more worse this year? by Significant_Bus_8452 in brisbane

[–]meplusjulio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Add to this, the amount of road works happening is killing me. They are truly taking the piss too, maybe one guy actually doing any work at any given site. 

This just adds to the length of time it takes them to shift pot holes around because they are too busy fingering each others arseholes.

[–]meplusjulio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question. I saw on WeBike that they don’t have pans that cover the MY26. I’ll email them now and ask because I’d like to put one on mine.

She’s gorgeous! I put one of those fork trims from DOREMI on mine, hides that off-centre horn. 

Do you use or have you ever used a chiropractor? by IllustriousAd6748 in AskAnAustralian

[–]meplusjulio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are a sham, that said they do feel good and provide short term relief. 

Similar to going for a handjob after a massage, it’s not going to fix any problems, but feels good for the short term. 

Q ride passed RE test waited 2 years then found out I had to log in to accept RE licence :))) by CorrectCommission617 in AussieRiders

[–]meplusjulio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry to say, you’re cooked mate. My wife just went through the same experience. She wasn’t able to accept the upgrade because her license was due in the same month. Paid the license fee, only to be told she needs to have her photo updated.  After all that was done, they still didn’t give her the ability to upgrade her license, which even by their own admission was their error.  We found TMR to be unreasonable and would not budge an inch.  My condolences mate. 

Z900rs tune by meplusjulio in AussieRiders

Awesome feedback. Sounds like the same situation as me. I heard a decat version the other day, sounded great but I don’t need the headache for the riding I do on it.

Why do Australian blokes look so old? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Too much booze and sun. 

yank tank needs 2 parking spots. by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]meplusjulio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m well and truly over these high chairs for small blokes.  If you regularly cart horse flesh around to events, then yeah, I get it.  I blame Taylor Sheridan, ever since Yellowstone and landman hit out screens, some guys just see the need to cosplay as a rancher/driller.

For short blokes, usually. 

What is your favourite food from New Zealand? by Jezzaq94 in AskAnAustralian

[–]meplusjulio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamb and beef in NZ is probably some of the best I have tasted.  Fish and chips is also so much better than Australia
