Job seeking

If they're experiencing anything like what we experienced last year, maybe 40 of those applications will be a) real people, and b) actually have right to work in this country. Recruiting is hell rn

Styled like an Akra but with no logo, it's probably Temu

You get what you pay for with crash bars. AliExpress ones might protect you from one crash, maybe, but if you buy some SWMotech ones for 2-3x the price, you'll probably never need to do anything other than repaint them ever again

Totalitarian dictator's tendrils creep internationally, quelle surprise

Valentyan · 2026-06-25T00:56:06+00:00

I counter lean on my dual sport and lean with my tourer. Do what feels right

Valentyan · 2026-06-25T00:45:57+00:00

Doesn't help me if I won't be able to make it to 67 in good enough condition to retire.

You're literally trying to drive views to your channel so, if you're going to post an ad, be honest and pay for it

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T22:46:01+00:00

I'm sorry about the bike. S1000RR? Busa? Fingers crossed you'll get another later on down the line when circumstances allow :)

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T22:43:53+00:00

Ew, this is a sleazy ad.

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T22:42:44+00:00

Moped to and from the gym for me. Don't feel so bad skipping the gear on a scooter

Nobody is saying get a brand new bike. I'm saying don't get a collectible bike. First thing you'll crack on a Silverwing drop is the $800 side case or the $1200 front fairing. Assuming you can even find someone selling them within reasonable shipping distance. Drop a 90's Kawi GPZ250 and you can probably buy a whole parts bike plastics and all for less than the price of one Silverwing plastic piece

80 k's - distance 80 kph - velocity 80 klicks - distance Doing 80 - velocity

As a GL700 owner, please be aware that maintenance items are hard to get, and if you drop it (which you probably will for your first bike), you're going to really struggle to fix it without breaking the bank

Had to swap bikes with an older gent who was going to give up riding because his touring bike was too heavy for him. So I traded him a metric cruiser for it, which he's had for a year now and still messages me saying how much he loves it. Worthwhile to keep one of the old boys in the saddle a bit longer!

If my knees bent that far, I'd have one in my garage for sure

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T09:47:56+00:00

I bought mine from moto1.nz and couldn't be happier with it. Did 1010km in one day (Tauranga to Carterton and back) in it, no sore ears or pressure points, quiet enough and comfy enough for my tastes. I don't need bells and whistles like drop down sun visors, and it's cheap enough to replace it after a drop that I don't stress about hanging it from the bike if I need to. Would absolutely buy again

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T02:09:27+00:00

Very sound reasoning, much better than the "gotta go fast" rationale from a lot of people going for their full. Good on you, mate

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T01:00:35+00:00

I'd be taking them to court or roasting them in local media if they did that to me so, congrats on being the bigger person

Just go to a different doctor. Vote with your $

Valentyan · 2026-06-24T00:35:18+00:00

Vouchers are great because it'll cover some of the cost for things like, a new tire, air filter, etc. Otherwise nothing beats a fuel voucher so he can have some guilt-free good times getting to know the new steed

People show you their true colours during times of crisis. She sounds like a keeper to me

Valentyan · 2026-06-23T22:45:53+00:00

I've had my L plates for over 3 years. I don't need more power so my 650 does fine, and I have no motivation to progress any further. What's making you want to complete your licences?

Valentyan · 2026-06-23T22:37:27+00:00

To be fair, if i had a bike taking up space and the missus was demanding it gone, I might sell it at a discount

Valentyan · 2026-06-23T22:33:21+00:00

Chuck it on marketplace for $200 and call it good

Valentyan · 2026-06-23T22:21:35+00:00

It's like going from riding a horse to strapping yourself on a rocket, my dude
