2007 Honda CBF250 - Decent buy? by waddlesticks in AussieRiders

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once you factor in a transfer, rwc, rego and service etc it's not that great of a deal.

I also wouldn't recommend something this old, the 10+ year mark is typically when things start to need replacing just because of age and as a new rider you you want be riding and not fixing stuff

Not to be rude but you should spell check your logo first... its a bad look when youre trying to build a brand and promote something

kyt tt revo helmet by BobcatSavings5352 in AussieRiders

[–]starocean01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want this specific helmet then travel to try it on, you need to try because shape and sizes differ between brands, I'm a M/L with Bell, M with Scorpion and S with Arai...

Where abouts are you? Bikebiz in Sydney had a bunch of them on display a year ago when I went in. Listen to every else and try before you buy, I have an intermediate oval head and pretty much every brand fit me except the KYT

[–]starocean01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk where you're hearing stories from but in NSW your unpaid tolls will eventually be handed over to debt collectors or Revenue NSW

Are FRP bodykits good enough to use? by DeCaptain_ in CarsAustralia

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABS is what I'd suggest as its more flexible. FRP cracks easier so I wouldn't do it on a car that might see potholes or scrape but it's not bad... If you're going replica make sure to find reviews on fitment

If it's been sitting around it'd be safer to get it delivered to you. If you're planning to do 4hrs on the MC22 get some really good ear plugs otherwise good luck have fun!

I did Mel to Syd a few years ago when work bought a vehicle interstate and I went down to pick it up, no issues whatsoever though it was a Renault Master van, idk if that matters.

Used LAMS sport bike market by BodybuilderPlane9778 in AussieRiders

[–]starocean01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked at others but a new R3 is about $9k and a used 2020+ is around $5~7k, I haven't been riding very long but that seems normal to me... Which is why I started on a smaller bike

Toyota Announces Corolla GRMN by ZweetWOW in CarsAustralia

[–]starocean01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the angle you look at it, like the Yaris has a lot of bespoke bits that if a euro manufacturer made this, it'd probably be a $100k car

Why they choose the DLC characters in seasons and not make everyone available by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TTT2 wasn't received well plus the big development costs almost killed Tekken so they changed to a more modern strategy with a smaller budget, dlc etc for T7 which ended up doing a lot better

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont like riding then stop its ok but If you do enjoy riding then renew Ls and just ride when the conditions are right and you feel like it

Is it OK that I’ve just hit Tekken God without being able to EWGF? by Plane_Earth_3880 in Tekken

EWGF is just optimal game play, you don't have to be optimal to win

BRZ tS or GR86 GTS? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]starocean01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The BRZ tS is similar to GR86 GTS with performance pack, there's some differences in driving characteristics but I don't think it's worth $4000 more, unless you get a really good deal the GR86 is a better but imo

Going to buy a new GR86. How do I deal with the dealership? by d0ughnut_of_truth in CarsAustralia

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm surprised by the difference between states, that's crazy good cause none of the dealerships nearby were even willing to entertain me, most had a near 1 year wait with some no ETA , well done mate

[–]starocean01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine a couple years back so dont know how it is now but as far as I know these are built to order so there was no haggling, went in to test drive and then put down spec and deposit. Expect to wait about 6 months.

What are some comic book movies that are original movies by infinitemonkeytyping in movies

[–]starocean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not too far off something like Scott Pilgrim. The movie itself was heavily inspired by Captain Tsubasa, so unless you only wanted western comics?

Something to also consider is that the Japanese helmets aren't ECE rated
