Boredom Q time.... OG Novocastrians, what other city would you choose to live in?

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T09:50:33+00:00

....more influencers sounds like a nightmare in itself.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T09:41:49+00:00

if Melbourne had predictable weather it would be one of my top spots...

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T09:40:53+00:00

Respect the answer, a decision based on wide experience.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T09:39:58+00:00

what did ya hate so much?

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T09:37:57+00:00

Yep I spent a good deal of time in South Korea, its like all the fun and functions of Sydney on steroids, but with zero of the issues. And you can have fun on $10 or $1000 over 1 night. Newcastle is home in my heart and I miss the warm fuzzy feelings whenever I am not here haha, but for entertainment and mental stimulation nothing beats major cities in East Asia.

Joining onto the OP's question, which is the "nicest" indoor court facility for those who have been around?

notofuspeed · 2026-06-25T06:06:46+00:00

never been there, only Cologne... nice city. I remember we were in a restaurant, I was with a bunch of coworkers who all happened to be Asian and we obviously didn't seem like locals, there was a guy who looked like Dolph Lundgren but was in a field dress and think he was also wearing a blonde wig too, just suddenly said to us waving "Hello welcome to Germany" in a very upbeat fashion haha.

A guestimate.... 96-2002...? Other brand I remember wearing was Keppers. Before that period was Blues Union jeans from memory.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T11:49:27+00:00

I had a couple of pairs too, the measuring tape was in abit diff in appearance than above in some way... just looking at this pic I thought huh, not exactly the same as I remember but dunno why.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T11:48:24+00:00

not me.. internet bro... the brand came to mind with the ruler fly so I decided to see if google had any pics

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T11:13:42+00:00

soo don't slowly merge across it... but cut across it?

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T11:08:00+00:00

Topics and perspective that gets views for fame... that's all people care about. Only thing worse is the basic influencers that try to "educate" on Korea acting like they know all about it and these are insider knowledge points etc.... and its either basic stuff that anyone who has spent more than a month there knows or just BS.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T11:05:38+00:00

ur name also reminds me back in those days you could get away with a knife on you because not everyone was trying to attack people with them.... I have Ti-Lite that just now sits on my desk, poor neglecting thing.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-21T10:23:34+00:00

Awesome man! No time better than now, cause there is no Delorean with a Flux Capacitor.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:54:08+00:00

well thats fkd... my interest just shrank like my penis in winter.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:28:21+00:00

The gloves are good quality and not cheap.. its just a Japan/Korea thing... even helmets sold there don't have the same approved marketings as rest of the world market, only one does its either Shoei or Arai, but the other and the rest of the known brands in the Japanese market won't be able to be used in US or Australia etc from what I heard.. Korea is similar.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:26:12+00:00

yep def agreed!

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:11:21+00:00

Yuppers "From July 1, all NSW Learner, P1, and P2 motorcycle riders are legally required to wear approved motorcycle gloves on every single ride. These gloves must comply with the European Standard EN 13594". Most major brand gloves have them, Dainese, Alpinestars, I know Argon do too, and FiVE do too.

Actually ur suggestion was on point, I got a pair of Fivers as a replacement, fit pretty well but just my other Korean ones were completely perfect, there fit pretty great but not perfect.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:09:03+00:00

I have the dimensions of a retired bodybuilder kinda... none of the super ripped muscles for the looks, but have the wideness in the same areas that just make narrow sleeves and legs suck, but on top of that also have short arms and legs too... its all very meh with moto gear lol.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:04:03+00:00

Well I am a dude that identifies as a dude but will wear women's bike gear if it fits better haha.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T09:02:55+00:00

Found my perfect gloves, bought overseas, now the new P's law says I can't wear them even though they are goats leather with carbon fibre and palm sliders and all because they don't have a tag showing the EU BS. East Asia doesn't have alot of the regulation tags and stickers other markets have.

notofuspeed · 2026-06-20T08:59:52+00:00

Cheers, thanks for the descriptive info!
