[NSW] Draggin Jeans + Helmet

Hicksey11 — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 02:12:03 GMT

Hey Guys

Just a couple of items I want to get rid of.

2 pairs of Draggin Jeans, size 30. One is a classic pair of blue denims the other is a pair of Camo Cargo's in the Green/Black/White.

The Blue Jeans have been worn about 5 times and do have a tiny nick/rip just below the knee where a nail got me, but its no biggy. The Cargo's were worn twice and are in new condition. Reason for sale is that they dont fit anymore.

I will sell these at $40ea or $70 for both.

I also have an ICON Airframe helmet. Its the Carbon fibre outer. Awesome looking thing. This is Brand New. I bought it for GoKarting but that venture never took off. I think these retails for near $500, but Ill let it for for $250.

All the items are + postage.

If you have any questions please ask. Im on here almost everyday.
Items are located in Junee (NSW). Near Wagga Wagga.

Cheers

2011 Road toll drops, Crash rates higher on weekends though.

robsalvv — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:33:37 GMT

ON weekends, the odds of having a fatal accident rise.

Watch out on weekends. Australians are nearly twice as likely to die in a crash on Saturdays or Sundays as they are through the week, according to the latest national road toll figures. The daily death rate averages 2.6 through the week then rockets to 4.6 on weekends.

Despite this there is good news in the latest statistics from the Federal Department of Infrastructure and Transport, including the fact that 2011 had the lowest national toll since 1946.

The final figure last year was 1292 deaths, down by 4.4 per cent on 2010 and continuing the steady decline from 1603 in 2007.

Also, youngsters are safer as there was a 17 per cent decline in the number of 17- to 25-year-olds killed on the road.

But the department's figures include a warning for older drivers, as the death toll for people aged over 70 jumped by 13 per cent.

The Northern Territory continues to be the most dangerous place to drive, with an average death rate of 19.12 people for every 100,000 compared with 5.15 and 5.12 for NSW and Victoria, and only 1.64 for the ACT.

"It's a very welcome outcome," says Andrew McKellar of the Australian Automobile Association, which represents state and territory motoring organisations. "We've seen sustained improvement in the road toll over a number of years.

"It reflects a number of different factors, but there is obviously no room for complacency and continued room for improvement."

The AAA attributes the falling toll to vastly improved cars and even improvement in roads but McKellar is no fan of inappropriate speed camera programs.

"Speed limits... need to be appropriate to the setting and condition of the roads," he says

"Our research shows the overall level of risk on our national highways is lower ... But one in five of our national highways is still rated high-risk and that's unacceptable."

Vehicle safety technology has improved radically in the past 10 years. Only 10-12 years ago two airbags was the limit, but these days four and six airbags are much more common and electronic stability control is a requirement. Such systems will continue to bring greater improvements in the statistics.

The 2011 statistics show men are still more than twice as likely as women to be killed on the road, while pedestrians account for 189 deaths. The number of motorcycle deaths in the year fell by more than 10 per cent to 200.

struggling to remove arrow baffles

Reido — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:59:09 GMT

Hi guys,

I have a street triple with arrow slip ons and I had a crack at removing the baffles. However after I tapped out the spot weld on the top and removed the ring thing that holds them in, they still wont come out! on you tube videos the guy just pulled them straight out.... although in the video the engine was running. would this make it easier? i wouldnt think so as the metal would expand when hot and make it harder? am I missing something else? ](*,)

cheers Reido

[VIC] SMIDSY and Helmet Cams?

Desmond — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:45:33 GMT

I was reading the Age recently and came across this article regarding cyclists,

"Video insurance coming to a helmet near you"

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/vi...204-1qz1a.html

Of the article this particular quote took my fancy,

"...Victorian police last year used footage to charge and fine a truck driver who got too close when overtaking a cyclist on Nepean Highway, Mordialloc..."

Well recently some small trucker pulled a SMIDSY (merging into my lane)

against me on the City Link overpass, near Kensington/North Melbourne.

Fortunately I didn't get hit. However if I had a helmet cam of good enough

quality to capture number plates, could I have passed this information onto

police myself and ultimately had the driver fined? If this were possible wouldn't

SMIDSY related mishaps be minimized through every rider filming and reporting

offenders?

Another new guy from Sydney

Josh DS — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:41:20 GMT

Hey guys,

Another new member from western Sydney (Winmalee, Blue Mountains) been reading on here for a while just gathering info.

Currently have my P1's and haven't as yet bought a bike. At first I was sold on getting a sports bike but after test riding a few it made me look into the broader world of motorbikes. Pretty sure in the next few weeks I'll be getting a V Star 650. Really like the feel of the cruiser and I'm not exactly the hoon I used to be.

Will keep everyone updated on my progress

Josh!

Another near SMIDSY

bulby — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:32:02 GMT

On the freeway today going home. I was going to change lane to my left. Did the usual signal, mirror, head check. Noticed cage 2 lanes left edging to the right, figured he was going to merge into the same lane I was going to, so I waited - still with my signal flashing, keeping an eye on him.

He did his head check and looked in my general direction. "OK, he MIGHT have seen me" but to be sure, I waited a couple of seconds for any sign of him changing lane, nothing. Thinking it was safe afterall, I switched lane. Then a second later, guy started changing lane, THEN signal on, THEN he did another head check half-way in. I was back in the right lane at this point.

Guy had that "oh shiii where did he come from?" look. Gave him the le sigh + slow head shake, and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

Moral of the story: Glad I didn't completely trust that he's seen me.

[N/A | National] Transferring rego of a repaired write off interstate

Rip — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:38:14 GMT

Has anyone had any experience transferring the rego interstate of a bike that has previously been written off and subsequently repaired? Once a bike has been repaired and inspected, can it be registered in any state without being re-inspected?

Rogues84 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 07:23:59 GMT

G'day! I'm new to this forum and Adelaide, and riding for that matter. In fact I have never ridden a motorcycle before but have always wanted to so when I moved to Adelaide from Perth I bought my brother's old 91 ZXR250 and it came with me. I'm actually glad I did because I think the process for getting your bike license in SA is better than in WA.

So hopefully by April I'll be on my L's riding to and from work mostly, building up confidence. I'm looking forward to the assistance I'll get in all things biking from this forum, I've already had a good look at many of the tips for new riders.

Here's a pic of my garage.

Catchya round, Rogues.

Asking $40 and local pick up only from Epping, NSW2121.

Safe selling tips?

Llama — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:08:54 GMT

So as you can see in my sig I'm selling my bike. It's kind of a big deal because I've never sold something so expensive before. So I was wondering what kind of precautions and procedures you guys go though when selling a bike to a complete stranger.

For example, what kind of payments are safe to accept? Check, paypal, direct debit, western union, cash etc.

So far I've heard that giving test rides is generally a bad idea.

Normally I'm carefree when it comes to trading but looking at the Stolen Bike Register you can tell there's clearly a lot of scammers out there! [-(

how many km's

newtoit — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:50:43 GMT

So I am about to buy my first road bike. I am looking a sports tourer and I can check most things but how many km's are to many or what requires work.

Thanks in advance

NSW police useless!

Hondamick — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:41:56 GMT

OK hear is my story.
I found a bike on Gumtree in Victoria for sale. CBR954 03model for $2500.
Not a bad deal I think to myself. So I go round for a look comes with a bit of a sus story and the VIN has been removed.
So I note down frame and engine number and pay $22 online and it comes up as being stolen in NSW. Ok so after calling NSW police general inquires I get transfered to Albury police station (why Albury I don't know) where I wait on hold for 10 minutes before hanging up. I call back direct after 5 minutes and have some rude copper basic tell me that I was rude for hanging up (after 10 minutes I give up) and number 2 he can't tell me anything about the bike and didn't want to know a thing.
I pleaded with him that I have a reported stolen bike and if he can't help me what should I do? Pretty much got the "i can't release info over the phone" So tough luck....

Moral of the story. If you have your bike stolen in NSW don't bother holding hope of the police recovering it they couldn't care less.
The second moral is that I think I'm going to become a theif in NSW because with cops like that in NSW you would have to be a retart to get caught.

[VIC] TAC still not accepting any responibility

Sir Ride Alot — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:50:16 GMT

They're still trying to link speed to the road toll even though nearly half of all deaths occured on roads with very low speed limits up to 80kph.

John Thompson should examine his figures again before he makes a claim. He�s added the 80kph stats to the above 80kph stats. He claims 21 when it is actually 15. Convenient mistake or misleading and deceptive behaviour?

How long will Ted Baillieu stand by and do nothing about these people?

"Shocking" Start to 2012 on the Roads: TAC Urges Victorians to Take Care
MEDIA RELEASE: 31 January 2012

Following the deaths of 28 people on Victorian roads this year, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has asked all drivers, riders and pedestrians to consider their behavior and what they can do to make safety their priority.

The road toll, as of midnight 28 January, is now 11 more than the same time last year for an increase of 65%.

Sixteen of the 28 deaths have occurred on regional or rural roads � 60 % up on the same time last year.

The spike in January fatalities comes after a weekend where seven lives were lost on Victorian roads.

Of the 28 deaths to date in 2012:
� Three occurred in a 50 km/h zone
� Three occurred in a 60 zone
� One occurred in a 70 zone
� Six occurred in a 80 zone
� One occurred in a 90 zone
� 12 occurred in a 100 zone
� Two occurred in a 110 zone

The TAC's Senior Manager of Road Safety & Marketing, John Thompson, said it shouldn't come as a surprise to the Victorian community that 21 deaths had occurred on high-speed roads above 80km/h.

"It is important that pedestrians and drivers took extra care to obey speed limits and reduce their risks," Mr Thompson said.

"It proves that road users cannot be complacent, and that the TAC must continue to educate Victorians about the deadly behaviors that unnecessarily kill Victorians like speeding and driving impaired.

"For 28 people to have been killed in preventable crashes in less than one month is nothing short of tragic."

The monthly toll is nine more than January 2011, and three more than the five year average.

Mr Thompson said there were a number of things that could be attributed to the spike in road deaths this January.

The factors included warmer weather and holidays, as well as driver and rider behaviour.

"With warmer nights more people are out and about and our roads are busier, and maybe more drivers are on unfamiliar roads as they travel to holiday destinations."

"But, there is no excuse for drivers, riders or pedestrians having a poor attitude towards road safety.

"At the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own behaviour on the road, and it is up to you to reduce your risk."

Mr Thompson said that despite the spike in deaths this past month, the state's long-term road safety strategy was working.

"Over the past 20 years the rate of fatalities per 100,000 population has decreased from 11.38 to 5.12, making Victoria one of the safest places in the world to use the roads.

"But, we cannot relax and I encourage the whole community to use the past month's tragedies as motivation to consider their behaviour on our roads and think about what they can do to make our roads an even safer place to be."

He said with the increase in deaths on regional and rural roads, the community was encouraged to maintain its commitment to having conversation about road safety via campaigns like Talk the Toll Down.

"Remember to talk with your loved ones about how important it is to stay safe on the roads and remain vigilant, because in the end it could save their life."
