Hi,

 

Fully agree with you, and am willing to take all the flack you can throw at me if I indeed do it,

 

One more question, do you need a full unconditional drivers licence to obtain a motorisedscooter licence?

 

Cheers,

Nik

Ha I'm not gonna give any shit.


And no you don't in NSW. Ht.h

A motorbike license is just another license class on your existing drivers license, so any restrictions (ie. blood alcohol AS A RANDOM NON SPECIFIC EXAMPLE) will carry across any class license you hold.

Hi,

 

Yeah, Hambone, it's because if I sign this next piece of paper I have to be 0.00 for ten years.

 

Thanks, Adam! 

 

Cheers,

Nik

Same conditions will carry across then, but I can't see that it would impact you trying to obtain a new license class.

Hi,

 

Going by the insignia and the front tree arrangement, I am wavering towards saying it's an Empire Star;

NIK! I SAW ONE OF THESE AT WORK TODAY! It went past us in Miranda. Had a low decent sound to it but it didn't seem fast or anything as you could expect. I guess the easiest way to explain the sound is that of a Harley Davidson, minus the steroids and ear-splitting sound.

 

It was in a brown/beige/sand colour.

Hi,

 

Awesome! I know it won't be fast.

 

Cheers,

This one looked REALLY schmick though. Seemed as if not a bit of dust was on it. The chrome was CHROME and the colour was gleaming wildly in the sun. Not a bad looking bike when seeing it in real life.

If anyone ever gets speed wobbles squeeze your front brake a couple of times after you regain control.

 

The violent motion causes the brake pistons to retract into the calipers so you will have no front brakes until you squeeze them back to the disk.

 

Happened to me the other day as I was exiting a corner, scariest moment of my life hahaha wish I had my GoPro on.

How did you get speed wobbles to start with?

[Scuba-Roo]

Hit a bump?

[ams]

I'm still not sure that's a thing.

If you're talking about on soft dirt, I get it - but not on bitumen ...right?

[RXJezza]

Yea was a downhill corner that flattens out then goes uphill, got a little bumpy as I was rolling on the throttle at the bottom and started tank slapping.

[ams]

Gas that shit.

Front only wobbles if it's touching the ground right??????
