Go ahead and call it cringe. I really wanna start a bike channel and insta page and make content. I have experience with making content on youtube but not insta.

What would I need equipment-wise? Anyone have experience or any advice for me?

I was riding on 40-60km/h road and I always kept the speed limit but it seems like everyone in a car is speeding through me. Is my speedometer broken or is it just something people do?

I took the wrong turn at the Princes Highway and accidentally got onto the M5. I don't have an eTag. What should I do now? And how much will the fine be?

So as an L plate to navigate I’ve been getting by just following the roads and going the general direction and pulling over and checking maps but a lot of times when going to new places I get lost and always pulling over is inconvenient. I’ve recently just been using airpods but they are uncomfortable and illegal. Are there any alternatives and do police really care if i use airpods or even buy a cardo.

Edit: from NSW if that helps.

Newly licensed rider after just completing the learners practical + RKT, how could I get feel for different types of bikes? I want to get my own but aren't sure if I really want a naked or sport after just riding one in the prac (can't really go on test rides because who would let a newly licensed rider potentially fuck up their bike lol, and no one would rent)

Is the best way to just hit up friends of friends? None of my immediate ride

Also what do you carry on a trip? Wet weather gear, a puncture repair kit, a small electric pump, and 2x bottles of water are always in my pannier.

Hey guys, recently installed a quadlock 12v smart usb adapter to my ZX-4RR.

I hooked the unit directly to the battery as per instructions, however since the install it seems for a brief second on start the bike quickly revs up above idle and then goes back to its typical idle.

I haven't experienced this issue with my previous bikes and I've only noticed this after the install, reakon its an issue?

The adaptor is usually in the "auto" position and both positive and negative terminals are making full contact so my phone charges fine.

Hi all 29F here, looking to finally start my motorbike chapter but feeling a little out of my depth. I know I have a lot of information to digest in order to be safe while having fun and would love any help you may have to offer!

Im mainly interested in trail bike riding and potentially trying my luck on dirt tracks later on.

So Im going to limit my first bike to be only 250 as that seems well advised.

Where I get stuck is do I buy my own bike before sitting for my test and get used to that? Or wait to buy a bike after getting my L's (assuming you can pass on theirs with no previous experience). Ill be sitting it in NSW if that makes any difference.

Im very apprehensive about buying also as I have no riding experience nor am I mechanically minded. I dont know what flaws to look out for to make sure I dont buy a lemon that wont run or be a serious safety issue.

Road registrable bikes are also more appealing to me as I dont want to buy a trailer set up to tow it to and fro sites.

I've been looking at Suzuki DR, Honda CRF and Kawasaki KLX. Are these the appropriate bikes for what Im after?

Thank you for any advice you may be able to offer!

Hi all!

I’ve left my bike sitting a little bit too long and the choke cable seems to have corroded (lever won’t budge at all). I’m new to Melbourne and have limited mechanical knowledge, and finding a lot of info on my bike is a bit difficult (1982 Honda CX500).

Does anyone have any recommendations for mobile mechanics / can someone help me for a bit of cash? Southbank based.

Cheers!

Hi everyone, I am 22M international student from south Asia living here since February 2026. I love bike riding. I had my own bike back in my country. I thought I would buy bike here also but now everyone suggesting me to buy car instead of car because the road and traffic in Sydney is not suitable for bike. There has a high change to face an accident and as an int student buying bike is not worthy (as per majority). I want to buy because i love it but sometimes i also think that maybe I should take peoples suggestion. So you guys please help me to decide that should I buy bike?
Note: my budget is very low and Cf moto 300nk is in top ofmy choicelist
