Cheers, iam getting to know me bike, spent two hours rippin bits out on the side of the road on Saturday near Sydney airport - only a broken clutch cable, but i was tricked into thinking it was an extended cable gone wayward (it looked longer when it was working alright!....so i thought it fell out of the lever) finally figured it out and phoned a mate to go down to Trivetts or other before they closed...but apparently they dont do older bikes.....Shhhheeeeettttt, still it was fun hookin it up t...

RE: Hi Ladies from WA, 24 Apr 2010 02:52 AM
Just a few weeks away from putting my order in for the Forty-Eight - It's taken me over 12 months to decide which bike I'd like to move up to (taking into account everything that appeals to me in a mbike) - When I saw the HD48 I just knew this was it! Has a test ride on a 1200 custom to get a feel and I absolutely loved it! Taken all the pros and cons on board, made a decision and just can't wait to ride it. Have a few custom changes to make but that's going to be half the fun. Looking f...

WOMBATS WISH SUN18th OCT CHARITY RIDE, 15 Oct 2009 01:14 AM
Hi Everyone, Sorry for the short notice but I've just been told the Around the Bay cycle race thingy is on this weekend and that meeting at the Westgate Bridge would be a big mistake. So in light of this I'm changing the meeting place for the Melbourne riders to the McDonalds restaurant in Laverton. It's address is 1-9 Lunn Court, Laverton and is easy to find as it's just off the freeway. It's also only 40 minutes to Geelong from Laverton so we'll meet at the Laverton McDonalds f...

All looking good, I rode to work - no drizzle and the clouds have all lifted like a good day should " align="absMiddle" border="0" src="/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif" /> The bike was running a little shoddy this morning, lower end was giving some stuttering. I might gas it up anyway just now. Hope it clears itself up. Have to go Shell... Only thing nearby...  Will be at "The Klubhouse"/KK between 6.30pm and 6.45pm. Oh and yes weasel, I was up pretty late.  Ho...

Hey, 23 Dec 2008 01:57 PM
Hey everyone, I'm 24 from Melb. Been riding supersport jap bikes, after many stories to tell and considering I can't get insurance for those rides anymore, so I'm changing my religion. I'm going where I thought I'd never go, at least not till I was 50 or so. After taking an FXSTC for a ride, I get it now :-] Settled on a 2009 FXDB Streetbob. I'll be picking it up in the next couple of weeks. Just gotta deceide on the colour " align="absMiddle" border="0" src="/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_def...

WA-New Rules for Personal Plates, 25 Nov 2008 12:36 PM
Expanding on what Kiteman has said................ You also cannot have the following combinations H4RL3Y; HARL3Y; C0CA C0LA ETC.... but they may allow H4RL3Y1... but not AHARLEY or AH4RL3Y I was lucky when I got my plate... whilst they would not allow me HARLEY, I did get HARL3Y a couple of years back Now you must have a minimum 3 letters as a combination with any trade name. Furthermore, you cannot exchange I=1; E=3 or O=0 in any trade name My only other avenue is to write to HD expl...

Wet weather gear, 25 Mar 2008 12:52 PM
I rode to work every day in winter year before last here in Canberra (decided to have a rest last winter). It was a cold winter and most days were well below 0' when I left in the morning. -10 at the coldest. I got an Ixon Drifter jacket and I was never cold at all in the upper body (legs and hands are a different story). It is the warmest jacket I have ever worn period. I think it's because the wrists neck and belt line seal it up like a dry suit and it has a good liner. 100% waterproof but bre...

Motorcycle Oils vs. Automotive Oils, 02 Feb 2008 03:25 AM
Found this snippet from the Darwin HOG Chapter June 2007 newsletter 'Checking up on oils the other night and found out Harley oil is now made in Venezuela, owned by Hugo Chavez. (Must have been the lowest bidder.)  It was made by Sunaco - makes you wonder what you are putting in your bike, that is if you use Harley oil.  Stick to Mobil1 synthetic oil - you can't go wrong' The info supplied by Sparky confirms that Mobil 1 does have the better viscosity retention of the lot ...
